Abstract
Abstract A method for treating the surface of a steel sheet adapted for use in making a container or can is provided. A nickel-defused layer is first formed while recrystallization annealing is conducted, upon which layer a film of chromium is plated after temper rolling or double cold rolling. The good lacquer adhesion property of the Cr layer and the good formability of the Ni layer will synergetically act so as to give an excellent anti-corrosion property to a material for cans.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
105 words
A method for the manufacture of a steel sheet having a Ni-diffused base layer which is treated with a bath consisting chiefly of chromic acid, comprising (1) coating an aqueous solution containing Ni ion on a surface of steel sheet as cold rolled in the step of manufacturing a thin steel sheet, followed by drying, (2) thereafter subjecting the same to recrystallization annealing while simultaneously allowing the coated Ni compound to be reduced on the surface of the steel sheet, (3) and thereafter plating thereon a film of metallic chromium and/or hydrated chromium oxide by electrolysis using a bath consisting chiefly of a chromic acid.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
105 words
A method for the manufacture of a steel sheet having a Ni-diffused base layer which is treated with a bath consisting chiefly of chromic acid, comprising (1) coating an aqueous solution containing Ni ion on a surface of steel sheet as cold rolled in the step of manufacturing a thin steel sheet, followed by drying, (2) thereafter subjecting the same to recrystallization annealing while simultaneously allowing the coated Ni compound to be reduced on the surface of the steel sheet, (3) and thereafter plating thereon a film of metallic chromium and/or hydrated chromium oxide by electrolysis using a bath consisting chiefly of a chromic acid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the Ni ion is supplied by a compound selected from the group consisting of nickel acetate, nickel nitrate, nickel formate, nickel oxalate and nickel carbonate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A method according to claim 1 in which the concentration of a compound supplying the nickel ion is about 10 to 100 g/l in said aqueous solution.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
A method according to claim 1 in which the amount of Ni attached is about 0.2 to 0.5 mg/dm 2 .
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method according to claim 1 in which the amount of metallic chromium attached is about 0.3 to 1.0 mg/dm 2 .
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method according to claim 1 in which the amount of hydrated chromium oxide attached is about 0.2 mg/dm 2 or less.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
A method according to claim 1 in which the amount of Ni attached is about 0.6 to 2.0 mg/dm 2 .
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
35 words
A method according to claim 1 in which said steel sheet is temper rolled or double cold rolled under a reduction rate of 0.1% to 60% after annealing and reducing thereof but before Cr-plating thereon.
