Abstract

A surface-treated steel sheet for a container, comprising: a steel sheet, and a Zr compound film disposed on the steel sheet, wherein the Zr compound film being formed by a dipping or electrolytic treatment in a solution containing Zr ion, F ion, ammonium ion and nitrate ion; and the coating weight of the Zr compound film is 1 to 100 mg/m 2 in terms of the amount of metallic Zr, and 0.1 mg/m 2 or less in terms of the F amount. There is provided a steel sheet for container, which has an excellent processability in the can manufacturing, and at the same time, is excellent in drawing and ironing processability, weldability, corrosion resistance, adherence thereof to a coating material and adherence thereof to a film, and a process for producing such a steel sheet for container.

Claims (15)

1. A surface-treated steel sheet for a container, comprising:

a steel sheet, and

a Zr compound film disposed on the steel sheet;

the Zr compound film being formed by a dipping or electrolytic treatment in a solution containing Zr ion, F ion, ammonium ion and nitrate ion;

wherein the coating weight of the Zr compound film is 1 to 100 mg/m 2 in terms of the amount of metallic Zr, and 0.1 mg/m 2 or less in terms of the F amount; and

wherein the solution further contains a phenol resin,

the Zr compound film further contains a phenol resin, and

the coating weight of the phenol resin film is 8 to 50 mg/m 2 in terms of an amount of C.

2. The surface-treated steel sheet for a container according to claim 1 , wherein the solution further contains phosphate ion, and

the coating weight of the Zr compound film is further 0.1 to 50 mg/m 2 in terms of the P amount.

3. The surface-treated steel sheet for a container according to any one of claim 1 or 2 , wherein the steel sheet is a surface-treated steel sheet having on at least one surface thereof a surface treating layer containing 10 to 1,000 mg/m 2 of Ni, or from 100 to 15,000 mg/m 2 of Sn.

4. The surface-treated steel sheet for a container according to claim 1 , wherein the coating weight of the Zr compound film is 0.09 mg/m 2 or less in terms of the F amount.

5. The surface-treated steel sheet for a container according to claim 1 , wherein the coating weight of the Zr compound film is 0.04 mg/m 2 or less in terms of the F amount.

6. The surface-treated steel sheet for a container according to claim 1 , wherein the coating weight of the Zr compound film is 0.02 mg/m 2 or less in terms of the F amount.

7. The surface-treated steel sheet for a container according to claim 1 , wherein the coating weight of the Zr compound film is 0.01 mg/m 2 or less in terms of the F amount.
