Abstract

A steel foil according to an aspect of the present invention includes, by mass %, C: 0.0001 to 0.02%; Si: 0.001 to 0.01%; Mn: 0.01 to 0.3%; P: 0.001 to 0.02%; S: 0.0001 to 0.01%; Al: 0.0005 to 0.1%; N: 0.0001 to 0.004%; and a balance consisting of Fe and impurities, wherein a thickness is 5 to 15 μm, and a tensile strength is more than 900 MPa and 1.200 MPa or less.

Claims (38)

1. A steel foil consisting of, by mass %:

C: 0.0001 to 0.02%;

Si: 0.001 to 0.01%;

Mn: 0.01 to 0.3%;

P: 0.001 to 0.02%;

S: 0.0001 to 0.01%;

Al: 0.01 to 0.1%;

N: 0.0001 to 0.004%;

including one or both of, by mass %:

Ti: 0.01 to 0.1%; and

Nb: 0.005 to 0.1%; and

a balance consisting of Fe and impurities, wherein

a thickness is 5 μm or more and 15 μm or less, and a tensile strength is more than 900 MPa and 1,200 MPa or less, and

wherein a volume resistivity is less than 16 μΩcm.

2. The steel foil according to claim 1 ,

wherein a Ni plated layer or a Cr plated layer is included on an outermost layer of the steel foil.

3. A method for manufacturing a steel foil, the method comprising, foil-rolling a steel sheet consisting of, by mass %,

C: 0.0001 to 0.02%,

Si: 0.001 to 0.01%,

Mn: 0.01 to 0.3%,

P: 0.001 to 0.02%,

S: 0.0001 to 0.01%,

Al: 0.01 to 0.1%,

N: 0.0001 to 0.004%,

including one or both of, by mass %:

Ti: 0.01 to 0.1%; and

Nb: 0.005 to 0.1%; and

a balance consisting of Fe and impurities, so as to be the steel foil having a thickness of 5 μm or more and 15 μm or less and a tensile strength of more than 900 MPa and 1,200 MPa or less and a volume resistivity of less than 16 μΩcm by a cold-rolling under a cumulative rolling reduction of 90% or more and 98% or less.

4. The method for manufacturing a steel foil according to claim 3 , further comprising,

plating an outermost layer of the steel foil so as to form a Ni plated layer or a Cr plated layer after the foil-rolling.

5. The method for manufacturing a steel foil according to claim 4 , wherein the Ni plated layer is a soft Ni plated layer.

6. The method for manufacturing a steel foil according to claim 3 , further comprising,

plating an outermost layer of the steel sheet so as to form a Ni plated layer before the foil-rolling.

7. The method for manufacturing a steel foil according to claim 6 , wherein the Ni plated layer is a soft Ni plated layer.

8. The steel foil according to claim 1 ,

wherein a content of Mn is 0.01 to 0.2% by mass.

9. The steel foil according to claim 2 ,

wherein a content of Mn is 0.01 to 0.2% by mass.
