Abstract

The present invention provides a method for manufacturing more beautiful black coated steel sheets by uniformly blackening the coating layer. Specifically, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing black coated steel sheets, which brings Zn—Al—Mg alloy coated steel sheets ( 1 ) into contact with steam in a closed container ( 10 ), wherein said closed container ( 10 ) can maintain a predefined internal pressure through variable control of the amount of steam flowing into said closed container ( 10 ) and/or the amount of steam flowing out of said closed container ( 10 ), and in said closed container ( 10 ) that can maintain said predefined pressure, said Zn—Al—Mg alloy coated steel sheets ( 1 ) have contact with the steam introduced into said closed container ( 10 ).

Claims (4)

1. A method for manufacturing black coated steel sheets, which brings Zn—Al—Mg alloy coated steel sheets into contact with steam in a closed container, wherein said closed container is configured to be able to variably control the amount of steam flowing into said closed container and the amount of atmospheric gas flowing out of said closed container, said method includes:

while maintaining the pressure in said closed container, bringing said Zn—Al—Mg alloy coated steel sheets into contact with the steam introduced into said closed container by carrying out introducing the steam into said closed container and discharging the atmospheric gas from said closed container in parallel such that hydrogen gas generated in said closed container does not remain in said closed container.

2. A method for manufacturing black coated steel sheets, which brings Zn—Al—Mg alloy coated steel sheets into contact with steam in a closed container, wherein said closed container is configured to be able to variably control at least one of the amount of steam introduced into said closed container and the amount of steam discharged from said closed container, said method includes:

while maintaining the pressure in said closed container at 80% to 120% of a predetermined value, variably controlling at least one of the amount of steam flowing into said closed container and the amount of atmospheric gas flowing out of said closed container, bringing said Zn—Al—Mg alloy coated steel sheets into contact with the steam introduced into said closed container by carrying out introducing the steam into said closed container and discharging the atmospheric gas from said closed container in parallel such that hydrogen gas generated in said closed container does not remain in said closed container.
