前記水洗工程では、
少なくとも最後の水洗において、電気伝導度100μS/m以下の水を使用する、表面処理鋼板の製造方法。
前記鋼板としては、とくに限定されることなく任意の鋼板を用いることができるが、缶用鋼板を用いることが好ましい。前記鋼板としては、例えば、極低炭素鋼板または低炭素鋼板を用いることができる。前記鋼板の製造方法についてもとくに限定されず、任意の方法で製造された鋼板を用いることができるが、通常は冷延鋼板を使用すればよい。前記冷延鋼板は、例えば、熱間圧延、酸洗、冷間圧延、焼鈍、および調質圧延を行う、一般的な製造工程により製造することができる。

および残部のFeおよび不可避的不純物からなる成分組成を有する鋼板を用いることが好ましい。上記成分組成のうち、Si、P、S、Al、およびNは含有量が低いほど好ましい成分であり、Cu、Ni、Cr、Mo、Ti、Nb、B、Ca、SnおよびSbは、任意に添加し得る成分である。
前記鋼板の表面には金属Cr層が存在する。前記金属Cr層は、前記鋼板の少なくとも一方の表面上に配置されていればよく、両側の表面上に配置されていてもよい。すなわち、前記金属Cr層は、鋼板の表面に直接形成されている。
前記金属Cr層上には酸化Cr層が存在する。前記酸化Cr層の厚さは特に限定されないが、0.5nm以上であることが好ましい。また、前記酸化Cr層の厚さは、15nm以下であることが好ましい。前記酸化Cr層の厚さは、XPSを用いて、実施例に記載した方法で測定することができる。
本発明においては、表面処理鋼板の水接触角が50°以下であることが重要である。水接触角が50°以下となるよう表面処理鋼板の表面を高度に親水化することにより、フィルムまたは塗料に含まれる樹脂と表面処理鋼板との間に強固な水素結合が形成され、その結果、湿潤環境下においても高い密着性を得ることができる。密着性をさらに向上させるという観点からは、水接触角を48°以下とすることが好ましく、45°以下とすることがより好ましい。前記水接触角は、密着性向上の観点からは低ければ低いほど好ましいため、その下限はとくに限定されず、0°であってもよい。しかし、製造しやすさなどの観点からは、5°以上であってよく、8°以上であってもよい。なお、前記水接触角は、実施例に記載した方法で測定することができる。
上述したように、本発明の表面処理鋼板は水接触角が50°以下という高い親水性を有しており、その表面は化学的に活性である。そのため、前記表面処理鋼板の表面には、K、Na、Mg、およびCaなどの元素のカチオンが吸着しやすい。本発明者らは、単純に水接触角を50°以下とするのみでは、吸着した前記カチオンの影響のため、本来の密着性が発揮されないことを見出した。本発明では、表面処理鋼板の表面に吸着した前記カチオンの量を低減することにより、樹脂に対する密着性を向上させ、その結果、優れたフィルム湿潤密着性および塗料2次密着性と、高いフィルム耐食性および塗装耐食性の両者を実現することができる。
本発明の一実施形態における表面処理鋼板の製造方法では、以下に説明する方法で、上記特性を備えた表面処理鋼板を製造することができる。
(1)3価クロムイオンを含有する電解液を調製する電解液調製工程
(2)前記電解液中で鋼板を陰極電解処理する陰極電解処理工程
(3)前記陰極電解処理後の鋼板を少なくとも1回水洗する水洗工程
(i)混合
上記電解液調製工程では、まず、3価クロムイオン源、カルボン酸化合物、および水を混合して水溶液とする。
次に、前記水溶液のpHを4.0~7.0に調整するとともに、前記水溶液の温度を40~70℃に調整することによって前記電解液を調製する。上述した表面処理鋼板を製造するためには、単に3価クロムイオン源とカルボン酸化合物を水に溶解させるだけでは不十分であり、上記のとおりpHと温度を適正に制御することが重要である。
前記電解液調製工程においては、混合後の水溶液のpHを4.0~7.0に調整する。pHが4.0未満または7.0超であると、得られた電解液を用いて製造した表面処理鋼板の水接触角は50°より高くなる。pHは、4.5~6.5とすることが好ましい。
前記電解液調製工程では、混合後の水溶液の温度を40~70℃に調整する。温度が40℃未満、あるいは70℃超であると、得られた電解液を用いて製造した表面処理鋼板の水接触角が50°より大きくなる。なお、40~70℃の温度域での保持時間は特に限定されない。
次に、上記電解液調製工程で得られた電解液中で鋼板を陰極電解処理する。前記陰極電解処理により、下地鋼板の少なくとも一方の表面上に金属Cr層と酸化Cr層とを形成することができる。
次に、上記陰極電解処理後の鋼板を少なくとも1回水洗する。水洗を行うことにより、鋼板の表面に残留している電解液を除去することができる。前記水洗は、特に限定されることなく任意の方法で行うことができる。例えば、陰極電解処理を行うための電解槽の下流に水洗タンクを設け、陰極電解処理後の鋼板を連続的に水に浸漬することができる。また、陰極電解処理後の鋼板にスプレーで水を吹き付けることによって水洗を行ってもよい。
まず、表1に示す組成A~Gを有する電解液を、表1に示した各条件で調製した。すなわち、表1に示した各成分を水と混合して水溶液とし、次いで前記水溶液を表1に示したpHおよび温度に調整した。なお、電解液Gは、特許文献4の実施例で使用されている電解液に相当する。pHの上昇にはいずれもアンモニア水を使用し、pHの低下には電解液A、B、Gには硫酸、電解液C、Dには塩酸、電解液E、Fには硝酸を使用した。
次の陰極電解処理工程に先だって、鋼板に前処理を施した。前記前処理としては、電解脱脂、水洗、希硫酸への浸漬による酸洗、および水洗を順次行った。なお、前記鋼板としては、Cr含有量質量%が表2、4に示す値であり、板厚が0.22mmである缶用鋼板(T4原板)を使用した。
その後、前記前処理後の鋼板に対して、表2および表4に示す条件で陰極電解処理を施した。なお、陰極電解処理の際の電解液は表1に示したpHと温度に保持した。陰極電解処理時の電気量密度は40A/dm2とし、電解時間とパス数は適宜変化させた。陰極電解処理時の陽極としては、基体としてのTiに酸化イリジウムをコーティングした不溶性陽極を使用した。陰極電解処理を行った後は、水洗処理を行い、ブロアを用いて室温で乾燥を行った。
次いで、上記陰極電解処理後の鋼板に水洗処理を施した。前記水洗処理は、表2および表4に示した条件で1~5回行った。各回の水洗の方法と、使用した水の電気伝導度は表2および表4に示したとおりとした。
酸化Cr層の厚さは、XPSにより測定した。具体的には、Cr2pのナロースペクトルを、結合エネルギーの低い方から、それぞれ金属Cr、酸化Cr、水酸化Crに対応する3つのピークに分離し、積分強度比を算出した。酸化Crピークと水酸化Crピークの積分強度の和が金属Crピークの積分強度より小さくなるまで、最表層から2nmごとに測定した。最表層からの深さに対する、金属Crピーク積分強度/(酸化Crピークの積分強度+水酸化Crピークの積分強度)の関係を最小二乗法で線形近似し、金属Crピーク積分強度/(酸化Crピークの積分強度+水酸化Crピークの積分強度)が1となる最表層からの深さを、酸化Cr層の厚さとした。
金属Cr層の厚さについても、酸化Cr層と同様にXPSにより測定した。具体的には、Cr2pとFe2pのナロースペクトルの積分強度を相対感度係数法で原子比率を定量化し、Cr原子比率がFe原子比率より小さくなるまで、最表層から2nmごとに測定した。最表層からの深さに対する、Fe原子比率/Cr原子比率の関係を、最小二乗法で3次式近似し、Fe原子比率/Cr原子比率が1となる最表層からの深さから、酸化Cr層の厚さを差し引いた値を、金属Cr層の厚さとした。なお、上記のFe原子比率/Cr原子比率が1となる最表層からの深さが、上記酸化Cr層の厚さより小さい場合は、金属Cr層が存在しないことを意味し、その場合、十分な耐食性が得ることができない。
水接触角は、協和界面科学社製の自動接触角計CA-VP型を用いて測定した。表面処理鋼板の表面温度を20℃±1℃とし、水は20±1℃の蒸留水を使用し、2μlの液滴量で蒸留水を表面処理鋼板の表面に滴下し、1秒後にθ/2法によって接触角を測定し、5滴分の接触角の相加平均値を水接触角とした。
表面処理鋼板の表面に吸着したK、Na、Mg、およびCaの、Crに対する原子比率の合計を、XPSにより測定した。測定においては、スパッタは行わなかった。試料最表面のK2p、Na1s、Ca2p、Mg1s、およびCr2pのナロースペクトルの積分強度から、相対感度係数法により原子比率を定量化し、(K原子比率+Na原子比率+Ca原子比率+Mg原子比率)/Cr原子比率を算出した。XPSの測定には、アルバックファイ社製走査型X線光電子分光分析装置PHI X-toolを用い、X線源はモノクロAlKα線、電圧は15kV、ビーム径は100μmφ、取出角は45°とした。
