Abstract
Abstract A chromium-plated steel strip having an excellent weldability and a satisfactory resistance to corrosion, comprises a steel strip substrate, base layers consisting of an amorphous metallic material, for example, Ni-P or Ni-B alloy, and each having a weight of 3 to 500 mg/m<sup>2</sup>, intermediate layers consisting of tin and each having a weight of 2.8 g/m<sup>2</sup> or less, and surface layers consisting of metallic chromium and hydrated chromium oxide.
