Abstract

A steel foil according to an aspect of the present invention includes a rolled steel foil; and a Ni having <111>//RD texture plated on an outermost layer of the rolled steel foil. Regarding the steel foil, a <111> pole density in an inverse pole figure of a rolling direction may be 3.0 or more and 6.0 or less.

Claims (22)

1. A steel foil comprising:

a rolled steel foil; and

nickel adhering on an outermost layer of the rolled steel foil,

wherein said nickel has a <111>//RD texture, the <111>//RD texture being a structure in which a <111> orientation of said nickel in a face-centered cubic structure is integrated in a rolling direction,

wherein a <111> pole density in an inverse pole figure of the rolling direction in said nickel is 3.0 or more and 6.0 or less, and

wherein a thickness of the steel foil is 5 to 100 μm.

2. The steel foil according to claim 1 ,

wherein the nickel includes a sub-boundary which is a grain boundary between two grains in which a relative misorientation is 2° or more and 5° or less.

3. The steel foil according to claim 2 ,

wherein, when a length of the sub-boundary is a sub-boundary length L5 and a length of a high-angle boundary, which is a grain boundary between two grains in which a relative misorientation is 15° or more, is a grain boundary length L15, an average of a ratio L5/L15 is 0.5 or more and 5.0 or less in the texture of the nickel.

4. The steel foil according to claim 1 ,

wherein an amount of said nickel is 0.3 g/m 2 or more and 5 g/m 2 or less.

5. The steel foil according to claim 1 ,

wherein a tensile strength of the rolled steel foil is 600 MPa or more and 1,200 MPa or less at room temperature.

6. A method for manufacturing a steel foil according to claim 1 , the method comprising:

Ni-plating a steel sheet with a nickel;

recrystallization-annealing the steel sheet plated with the nickel after the Ni-plating so that a recrystallization is generated by an annealing; and

cold-rolling the steel sheet plated with the nickel under a cumulative rolling reduction of 70% or more and 98% or less after the recrystallization-annealing so that a steel foil having a thickness of 100 μm or less is obtained.

7. The method for manufacturing a steel foil according to claim 6 ,

wherein the deposition amount of the nickel of 1 g/m 2 or more and 40 g/m 2 or less is plated to the steel sheet in the Ni-plating.

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

re-annealing the steel foil at a temperature of 600° C. or less after the cold-rolling.
