Abstract

The Sn-based alloy plated steel sheet of this disclosure includes: a steel sheet; a composite plating layer formed on at least one side of the steel sheet and including an Fe—Ni—Sn alloy layer and an island-shaped Sn layer located on the Fe—Ni—Sn alloy layer; and a coating layer formed on the surface of the composite plating layer and containing zirconium oxide and tin oxide, and the composite plating layer contains a predetermined amount of Ni and a predetermined amount of Sn, a content of the zirconium oxide in the coating layer is from 0.2 mg/m 2 to 50 mg/m 2 in terms of metal Zr amount, and a peak position of binding energy of Sn3d 5/2 according to X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of the tin oxide in the coating layer is 1.6 eV or higher than a peak position of binding energy of the metal Sn.

Claims (10)

1. An Sn-based alloy plated steel sheet comprising:

a steel sheet;

a composite plating layer formed on at least one side of the steel sheet and including an Fe—Ni—Sn alloy layer and an island-shaped Sn layer located on the Fe—Ni—Sn alloy layer; and

a coating layer formed on the surface of the composite plating layer and containing zirconium oxide and tin oxide,

wherein the composite plating layer contains, from 2 mg/m 2 to 200 mg/m 2 of Ni in terms of metal Ni amount and from 0.1 g/m 2 to 10 g/m 2 of Sn in terms of metal Sn amount,

a content of the zirconium oxide in the coating layer is from 0.2 mg/m 2 to 50 mg/m 2 in terms of metal Zr amount, and

a peak position of binding energy of Sn3d 5/2 according to X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of the tin oxide in the coating layer is 1.6 eV or higher than a peak position of binding energy of the metal Sn.

2. The Sn-based alloy plated steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the coating layer is from 2 nm to 100 nm.

3. The Sn-based alloy plated steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the coating layer further contains phosphorus and a P amount/a. metal Zr amount is from 0.2 to 1 in terms of mass ratio per unit area.

4. The Sn-based alloy plated steel sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the coating layer further contains phosphorus and a P amount/a metal Zr amount is from 0.2 to 1 in terms of mass ratio per unit area.
