Abstract

A three-piece resealable can for acidic liquid includes, a cylindrical can body member that includes a screw portion at one end; and a can bottom member that contacts the can body member so as to close an opening portion of the other end of the can body member. The can body member includes a cylindrical first steel sheet, Ni plating that is formed on an inner circumferential surface of the first steel sheet, a polyester film that is formed so as to be disposed on the outermost surface of the inner circumference of the can body member, and a Zr-containing film that is formed between the first steel sheet and the polyester film. The can bottom member includes a second steel sheet, and Sn plating that is formed on the can body member side of the can bottom member. The Zr-containing film contains Zr compounds.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A three-piece resealable can for acidic liquid, the can comprising:
a cylindrical can body member that includes a screw portion at one end; and
a can bottom member that contacts with the can body member so as to close an opening portion of the other end of the can body member,
wherein the can body member includes a cylindrical first steel sheet, a Ni plating that is formed on an inner circumferential surface of the first steel sheet, a polyester film that is formed so as to be disposed on an outermost surface of an inner circumference of the can body member, and a Zr-containing film that is formed between the first steel sheet and the polyester film, wherein an amount of the Ni plating is 10 to 1000 mg/m 2 , the Zr-containing film contains Zr compounds, and an amount of the Zr-containing film is 2 to 40 mg/m 2 expressed in terms of Zr metal,
wherein the can bottom member includes a second steel sheet, and an Sn plating that is formed on a surface corresponding to an inner surface of the can bottom member, the Sn plating being on or above the second steel sheet, and a Zr-containing film which is formed on a surface of the Sn plating, and wherein the Sn plating includes an Sn single metal plating in an amount of 2 to 15 g/m 2 , an outermost surface of the surface corresponding to the inner surface of the can bottom member is the Zr-containing film, and
wherein the can body member and the can bottom member contact each other electrically.

2. The three-piece resealable can for acidic liquid according to claim 1 ,
wherein the Zr-containing film of the can bottom member contains Zr compounds, an amount of the Zr-containing film of the can bottom member being 2 to 40 mg/m 2 expressed in terms of Zr metal.

3. The three-piece resealable can for acidic liquid according to claim 1 ,
wherein the Sn plating of the can bottom member includes an alloyed Sn plating in an amount of 0.2 to 1.5 g/m 2 .

4. The three-piece resealable can for acidic liquid according to claim 1 ,
wherein the can bottom member further includes a Ni plating in an amount of 10 to 200 mg/m 2 which is formed on a surface on the can body member side of the second steel sheet.

5. The three-piece resealable can for acidic liquid according to claim 2 ,
wherein the Zr-containing film of the can bottom member contains one or more compounds as the Zr compounds which are selected from among Zr oxide, Zr phosphate, Zr hydroxide, and Zr fluoride.

6. The three-piece resealable can for acidic liquid according to claim 1 ,
wherein the amount of the Ni plating of the can body member is 200 to 1000 mg/m 2 .

7. The three-piece resealable can for acidic liquid according to claim 1 ,
wherein the can body member further includes an Sn plating which is formed on a surface of the Ni plating, the Sn plating including an Sn single metal plating in 0.2 to 2 g/m 2 and an alloyed Sn plating, and the amount of the Ni plating being 10 to 200 mg/m 2 .

8. The three-piece resealable can for acidic liquid according to claim 7 ,
wherein the Sn plating of the can body member includes the alloyed Sn plating in an amount of 0.2 to 1.5 g/m 2 .

9. The three-piece resealable can for acidic liquid according to any one of claims 1 and 2 to 8 ,
wherein the Zr-containing film of the can body member contains one or more compounds as the Zr compound which are selected from among Zr oxide, Zr phosphate, Zr hydroxide, and Zr fluoride.
