  • a desmutting treatment agent (SURF MAGDINE SF300 manufactured by NIPPON PAINT Co., Ltd.).
  • the metal sheet was treated in the prepared chemical conversion treatment agent under conditions shown in Table 4 with the counter electrode as the SUS 304 anode by a cathodic electrolysis technique.
  • the metal sheets were rinsed by spraying'with running water for 30 seconds, and then rinsed by spraying with pure water for 30 seconds.
  • the concentration of total zirconium in the chemical conversion treatment agent in the treatment bath was adjusted while being measured using NOVA A330 (an atomic absorption analyzer manufactured by Rigaku Corporation) and the concentration of total fluorine in the chemical conversion treatment agent in the treatment bath was adjusted while being measured using DX-120 (an ion chromatograph manufactured by Nippon Dionex K.K.), by replenishing ammonium fluorozirconate and hydrofluoric acid in the treatment bath respectively so as to become values as shown in Table 4.
  • the pH of the chemical conversion treatment agent in the treatment bath was adjusted by replenishing nitric acid or ammonium hydroxide in the treatment bath while being measured using D-24 (a pH meter manufactured by HORIBA, Ltd.) so as to become values as shown in Table 4.
  • a test sheet was prepared by following the same procedure as in Example 22 except that immersion treatment was conducted at 50°C for 2 minutes using a 5% aqueous solution of a commercially available manganese phosphate treatment agent (SF572 manufactured by NIPPON PAINT Co., Ltd.) in place of chemical conversion treatment based on cathodic electrolysis treatment.
  • a commercially available manganese phosphate treatment agent SF572 manufactured by NIPPON PAINT Co., Ltd.
  • a test sheet was prepared by following the same procedure as in Example 22 except that immersion treatment was conducted at 50°C for 2 minutes using a 5% aqueous solution of a commercially available zirconium phosphate treatment agent (ALSURF 440 manufactured by NIPPON PAINT Co., Ltd.) in place of chemical conversion treatment based on cathodic electrolysis treatment.
  • a commercially available zirconium phosphate treatment agent ALSURF 440 manufactured by NIPPON PAINT Co., Ltd.
