Abstract

The Sn-plated steel sheet of the disclosure is an Sn-plated steel sheet including: a steel sheet; an Sn plating layer formed on at least one side of the steel sheet and containing, based on % by mass, from 0.1 g/m 2 to 15 g/m 2 of metal Sn; and a coating layer formed on the surface of the Sn plating layer and containing zirconium oxide and tin oxide; in which the 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 the 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 the peak position of binding energy of the metal Sn.

Claims (9)

1. An Sn-plated steel sheet comprising:

a steel sheet;

an Sn plating layer formed on at least one side of the steel sheet and containing from 0.1 g/m 2 to 15 g/m 2 of metal Sn; and

a coating layer formed on the surface of the Sn plating layer and containing zirconium oxide and tin oxide;

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

3. The Sn-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-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.
