【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、表面外観に優れた電気亜鉛系めっき鋼板、より具体的には、原板の表面欠陥に起因するムラ等のめっき表面欠陥の発生を防止でき、表面外観に優れる電気亜鉛系めっき鋼板に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
電気亜鉛系めっき鋼板は家電製品、自動車、建材等の広範な用途で使用されている。近年、家電用途に無塗装で使用される各種クロメート処理電気亜鉛めっき鋼板の需要が増大しており、重要な用途分野となっている。この用途では無塗装で使用されるために表面外観に優れることが要求される。優れた表面外観の条件としては、ムラ等の表面欠陥が無いことが第一である。
【0003】
電気亜鉛系めっき鋼板のムラに関しては、めっき装置の不具合によって生ずるムラとめっき原板の表面欠陥に起因するムラがある。前者のムラについてはめっき装置の不具合を直すことにより改善される。しかし、後者のムラについては原板の表面欠陥を改善すれば当然解消されるはずであり、そのために種々の工夫が試みられているが、工業的には原板の表面欠陥を完全に取り除くには至っていない。
【0004】
原板の表面欠陥に起因する電気亜鉛系めっき鋼板のムラ発生防止に関する発明としては、特許文献1に示されているようにめっき初期に通常よりもZnイオン濃度を低くしためっき液を用い、通常の電流密度よりも高い電流密度で少量のめっきを行った後に通常のZnイオン濃度、通常の電流密度でめっきを行う方法、特許文献2に示されているように電流密度を変えて3層めっきを行い、かつ、その第2層を逆電解で溶解する方法等が開示されている。しかしながら、いずれの方法も非実用的手法であり、工業生産に適用することは困難である。
【0005】
めっき浴へ各種添加剤を添加することによるムラ発生防止方法の検討も行われている。特許文献3にはフルオロ錯イオンを100〜5000ppm添加する方法、特許文献4にはタリウムを0.01〜10ppm添加する方法、特許文献5にはSn、In、Bi、Sbを添加する方法等が開示されている。しかしながら、これらの方法では十分な効果は期待できない。
【0006】
さらに、光沢剤芳香族アルデヒド、クマロン、アミン、イミノ化合物、デキストリン、グルコン酸、ポリアクリルアミド等の光沢剤を添加する方法が多数開示されている(例えば、特許文献6、特許文献7等)。しかし、これらの方法では、アノードで有機添加剤が分解されるため、添加剤の濃度を一定に保つのが困難で、ムラの防止効果を安定して得ることはできない。更に、アノードの寿命が短くなり、コストアップを招くという問題がある。
【0007】
特許文献8には、カチオンを形成する窒素含有有機化合物を含む酸洗液中で酸洗処理する方法が開示されている。この方法では、酸洗時に有機化合物が鋼板の活性点に吸着して活性部の溶解を抑制し、カーボン・酸化物等が濃化した不活性部を優先的に溶解させることにより、原板の不均一を若干軽減する効果があるが、外観ムラの防止効果は不十分である。特に、酸洗終了後に水洗を行なってから電気めっきを行なうと、ムラの防止効果は更に小さくなる。これは、鋼板表面に吸着した有機化合物が水洗時に脱離してしまい、電気めっき開始時には吸着による均一被覆効果が得られていないことが原因と推定される。
【0008】
めっきプロセス以前に原板表面の状態を制御することも行われている。特許文献9には原板表面に薄い酸化皮膜を形成させる方法が開示されているが、酸化皮膜を均一に生成させることが難しく、酸化皮膜が不均一であると逆にめっき表面外観が損なわれる。また、めっき後の加工密着性に劣る。
【0009】
特許文献10では、原板表面のフェライト結晶粒径を10〜35μmと小さくするとともに電気亜鉛めっき浴のpHを1.0〜2.5の範囲に規定することでめっき光沢を上げている。しかしながら、電気めっき原板に用いる通常の鋼板のフェライト粒径はこの程度であるにもかかわらずムラが生じることから、この手法もムラの解消には効果が無い。
【0010】
また、電気めっき槽のコンダクターロールとめっき後の鋼板との接触によってもたらされる局部的な光沢ムラを防止するために、めっき原板のPPIを規定することが記載されている。特許文献11は、めっき原板のPPIを75以上且つ平坦部面積率を規定するパラメータを特定範囲に規定するというもので、実施例には、PPIが75〜150の範囲内にあるめっき原板に電気亜鉛めっきを行い前述の局部的な光沢ムラを防止したことが記載されている。特許文献12は、めっき原板のPPIを150以上且つろ波中心平均うねりWcaを0.5μm以下に規定するというもので、実施例には、PPIが250でろ波中心平均うねりWcaが0.30μm及びPPIが210でろ波中心平均うねりWcaが0.40μmの各鋼板に電気亜鉛めっきを行い、前述の局部的な光沢ムラを防止したことが記載されている。
【0011】
特許文献11、12では、原板の表面欠陥に起因するムラを防止することは考慮されていない。本発明者らが、特許文献11及び特許文献12の各実施例に記載される表面粗さを有するめっき原板に電気亜鉛めっきを行ったところ、原板の表面欠陥に起因するムラの発生を防止する効果は認められなかった。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
以上のように、電気亜鉛めっきの外観を向上させるべく様々な検討がなされているが、めっき原板の表面欠陥に起因するムラ等の表面欠陥が効果的に防止され、表面外観に優れる電気亜鉛めっき鋼板は未だ見出されていない。
【0026】
本発明の目的は、めっき後に原板の表面欠陥に起因するムラの発生を防止できる、表面外観に優れる電気亜鉛系めっき鋼板を提供することである。
【0027】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、めっき原板にムラの発生因子が存在していても、電気亜鉛めっき後にムラを発生させない手法を鋭意検討した結果、めっき原板の表面形態を電気亜鉛めっき皮膜のように微細で光を乱反射するようなものにすれば、電気亜鉛めっき鋼板の外観ムラが見えにくくなり、ムラ発生の問題を解消できることを見出した。
【0028】
本発明は、前記知見から得られたものであり、前記課題を解決するための本発明の手段は、次のとおりである。
(1)ピークカウント(PPI)が312以上の下地鋼板上に亜鉛系電気めっき皮膜を有し、L値が40以上であることを特徴とする表面外観に優れた電気亜鉛系めっき鋼板。
(2)前記亜鉛系電気めっき皮膜は、その上にクロメート処理および、または樹脂被覆処理が施されてなることを特徴とする(1)記載の表面外観に優れた電気亜鉛系めっき鋼板。
【0029】
ここでピークカウント(PPI)とは、SAE911規格で規定されるように、1インチあたりの凸凹のピーク数である。なお、上記ピークカウントPPIは、カウントレベルが±0.625μmにおける値で表している。
【0030】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明者らは、電気亜鉛めっき鋼板の原板欠陥に起因する各種ムラを調査した結果、いずれのムラにおいても、その原因は、ムラ部とその周辺部とでめっき結晶形態が異なることに起因していることが明らかになった。
【0031】
ムラ部とその周辺部とのめっき形態が具体的にどのように異なるかは、めっき条件や原板の違いによるムラの種類(形状、大きさの違い)に依存するため一概には言えない。ムラ部とその周辺部でめっき結晶の形態が異なる理由もムラの種類により当然異なる。一例として、幅0.1〜1mm、長さ数cmの線状に現れるムラについては、ムラ周辺部と比較して、ムラ部で亜鉛めっき結晶のステップの幅が広い。そのためにムラ部とムラ周辺部との光の散乱形態が異なり、ムラとして観察される。この線状のムラ部では原板表面の酸化膜組成、厚さが周辺部と異なるために、電気亜鉛めっきの際の亜鉛イオンの還元反応、結晶核生成、結晶成長が影響を受け、周辺部とは亜鉛結晶の形態が異なるものと推定される。別の種類のムラではめっき結晶形態の特徴、ムラが生じる原因も異なる。そのため、多様なムラ発生の問題を効果的に解消できる技術はこれまで見出されていない。
【0032】
本発明者らは、ムラ部とその周辺部で起こるめっき結晶形態の差異を防止すべく、種々検討した結果、めっき原板の表面形態を電気亜鉛めっき皮膜のように微細で光を乱反射するようにすることで、具体的には、めっき原板の表面形状を高PPIの形状とすることで、電気亜鉛めっき後にムラ部とその周辺部とでめっき結晶形態に差異が生じることが防止され、原板欠陥に起因する各種の外観ムラが見えにくくなり、表面外観が良好な電気亜鉛めっき鋼板が得られることが明らかになった。
【0033】
また、黒色化成処理鋼板のように黒化処理した白色度の低い鋼板では、原板表面に酸化物濃化などのめっき後にムラになる要因があっても、めっき後、ムラ部とその周辺部とで白色度の差異が小さくなるため、ムラとして観察されなくなるため、めっき原板の表面欠陥に起因するムラ発生の問題は殆ど起こらないことがわかった。
【0034】
本発明は、これらの知見に基づく。
【0035】
通常の電気亜鉛系めっき鋼板の原板のPPIは120〜180程度であるが、原板の表面欠陥に起因する外観ムラを隠蔽するには、めっき原板のPPIは312以上であることが必要である。めっき原板のPPIを312以上にすることで、電気亜鉛めっき後、原板欠陥部分のめっき皮膜表面は光が乱反射されやすくなり、原板欠陥の周辺部のめっき皮膜表面と略同様の光反射特性を示すようになる。そのため、原板欠陥に起因するムラが発生しやすい鋼板であっても、めっき後ムラが見えにくくなり、ムラ発生の問題が解消され、表面外観に優れた亜鉛めっき鋼板が得られる。
【0036】
黒色化成処理鋼板のように黒化処理した鋼板は、L値が40未満であり、このような鋼板では、めっき原板欠陥に起因するムラ発生は殆ど問題にならないので、本発明が対象とする電気亜鉛系めっき鋼板は、L値が40以上のものを対象とすることが好ましい。通常の電気亜鉛系めっき鋼板、これにクロメート処理、樹脂被覆処理を施したものは、L値が40以上である。ここで、L値は、JIS Z8722に規定された条件c(d-0)で測定された、ハンターのLab表色系のLである。光源はJIS Z8720に規定されたCを用いた。
【0037】
本発明の効果は、電気亜鉛めっき鋼板に限定されず、Zn-Niなどの電気亜鉛系めっき鋼板について本発明の効果が奏される。めっき量は特に限定されない。
【0038】
本発明によれば、下地鋼板(めっき原板)の鋼種、製造履歴の違いにかかわらず、原板に起因するムラの発生が無い、優れた外観を有する電気亜鉛系めっき鋼板が得られる。
【0039】
亜鉛系めっき後にクロメート処理(塗布型、反応型、電解型)や、更にその上に樹脂被覆処理等を実施した鋼板についてもめっき後の外観ムラが問題となるが、これらの鋼板に対しても、本発明の効果が奏される。
【0040】
本発明の電気亜鉛系めっき鋼板は、電気亜鉛めっきめっき工程の前に、めっき原板表面のPPIを本発明で規定する範囲に調整する。めっき原板表面のPPIを所要のPPIに調整する方法としては、微粒子投射を例示できる。次いで前記亜鉛めっき工程で常法で電気亜鉛系めっきを行うことで製造される。必要に応じて、さらにクロメート処理(塗布型、反応型、電解型)や、更にその上に樹脂被覆処理等の処理を施してもよい。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an electrogalvanized steel sheet excellent in surface appearance, and more specifically, to an electrogalvanized steel sheet excellent in surface appearance that can prevent the occurrence of plating surface defects such as unevenness due to surface defects of the original sheet. .
[0002]
[Prior art]
Electrogalvanized steel sheets are used in a wide range of applications such as home appliances, automobiles, and building materials. In recent years, the demand for various chromate-treated electrogalvanized steel sheets used without coating in household appliances has increased and has become an important field of application. In this application, since it is used without coating, it is required to have an excellent surface appearance. The first condition for excellent surface appearance is that there are no surface defects such as unevenness.
[0003]
Regarding the unevenness of the electrogalvanized steel sheet, there are unevenness caused by defects in the plating apparatus and unevenness caused by surface defects of the plating original plate. The former unevenness can be improved by correcting defects in the plating apparatus. However, the latter unevenness should naturally be resolved by improving the surface defects of the original plate, and various devices have been tried for this purpose, but industrially, the surface defects of the original plate have been completely removed. Not in.
[0004]
As an invention related to the prevention of non-uniformity of the electrogalvanized steel sheet due to surface defects of the original plate, as shown in Patent Document 1, a plating solution having a Zn ion concentration lower than usual at the initial stage of plating is used. After plating a small amount at a current density higher than the current density, a method of plating at a normal Zn ion concentration and a normal current density, and changing the current density as shown in Patent Document 2, three-layer plating And a method of dissolving the second layer by reverse electrolysis is disclosed. However, both methods are impractical methods and are difficult to apply to industrial production.
[0005]
Studies have also been made on methods for preventing unevenness by adding various additives to the plating bath. Patent Document 3 discloses a method of adding 100-5000 ppm of a fluoro complex ion, Patent Document 4 discloses a method of adding 0.01-10 ppm of thallium, Patent Document 5 discloses a method of adding Sn, In, Bi, Sb, and the like. ing. However, sufficient effects cannot be expected with these methods.
[0006]
Furthermore, many methods of adding brighteners such as brightener aromatic aldehyde, coumarone, amine, imino compound, dextrin, gluconic acid, polyacrylamide and the like have been disclosed (for example, Patent Document 6, Patent Document 7, etc.). However, in these methods, since the organic additive is decomposed at the anode, it is difficult to keep the additive concentration constant, and the effect of preventing unevenness cannot be stably obtained. Furthermore, there is a problem that the life of the anode is shortened and the cost is increased.
[0007]
Patent Document 8 discloses a method of pickling treatment in a pickling solution containing a nitrogen-containing organic compound that forms cations. In this method, the organic compound is adsorbed to the active sites of the steel sheet during pickling to suppress the dissolution of the active part, and the inert part enriched with carbon, oxide, etc. is preferentially dissolved, so Although there is an effect of slightly reducing the uniformity, the effect of preventing the appearance unevenness is insufficient. In particular, when electroplating is performed after washing with water after completion of pickling, the effect of preventing unevenness is further reduced. This is presumably because the organic compound adsorbed on the surface of the steel sheet is desorbed when washed with water, and the uniform covering effect by adsorption is not obtained at the start of electroplating.
[0008]
Control of the state of the original plate surface is also performed before the plating process. Patent Document 9 discloses a method of forming a thin oxide film on the surface of the original plate. However, it is difficult to uniformly form the oxide film, and if the oxide film is not uniform, the appearance of the plating surface is adversely affected. Moreover, it is inferior to the process adhesiveness after plating.
[0009]
In Patent Document 10, the plating gloss is increased by reducing the ferrite crystal grain size on the surface of the original plate to 10 to 35 μm and defining the pH of the electrogalvanizing bath in the range of 1.0 to 2.5. However, even if the ferrite grain size of a normal steel plate used for the electroplating original plate is about this level, unevenness occurs, so this method is also ineffective in eliminating the unevenness.
[0010]
In addition, it is described that the PPI of the plating original plate is defined in order to prevent local uneven gloss caused by contact between the conductor roll of the electroplating tank and the steel plate after plating. Patent Document 11 specifies that the PPI of the plating original plate is 75 or more and the parameter that defines the flat portion area ratio is specified in a specific range. In the example, the PPI is electrically applied to the plating original plate in the range of 75 to 150. It is described that galvanization is performed to prevent the above-mentioned local uneven brightness. Patent Document 12 specifies that the PPI of the plating original plate is 150 or more and the filtering center average waviness Wca is 0.5 μm or less. In the example, the PPI is 250, the filtering center average waviness Wca is 0.30 μm, and the PPI is In 210, it was described that each steel sheet having a filtering center average waviness Wca of 0.40 μm was electrogalvanized to prevent the above-mentioned local uneven gloss.
[0011]
Patent Documents 11 and 12 do not consider preventing unevenness due to surface defects of the original plate. When the present inventors performed electrogalvanizing on the plating original plate having the surface roughness described in each example of Patent Document 11 and Patent Document 12, the occurrence of unevenness due to surface defects of the original plate is prevented. No effect was observed.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, various studies have been made to improve the appearance of electrogalvanization, but surface defects such as unevenness due to surface defects of the plating original plate are effectively prevented, and electrogalvanization with excellent surface appearance. Steel sheets have not yet been found.
[0026]
An object of the present invention is to provide an electrogalvanized steel sheet that is excellent in surface appearance and that can prevent the occurrence of unevenness due to surface defects on the original sheet after plating.
[0027]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The inventors of the present invention have intensively studied a method for preventing unevenness after electrogalvanizing even if there is a nonuniformity generating factor in the plating original plate. As a result, the surface form of the plating original plate is as fine as the electrogalvanized film. It has been found that if the light is irregularly reflected, the uneven appearance of the electrogalvanized steel sheet becomes difficult to see and the problem of unevenness can be solved.
[0028]
This invention is obtained from the said knowledge, The means of this invention for solving the said subject is as follows.
(1) An electrogalvanized steel sheet having an excellent surface appearance, having a zinc-based electroplating film on a base steel sheet having a peak count (PPI) of 312 or more and having an L value of 40 or more.
(2) The electrogalvanized steel sheet having excellent surface appearance according to (1), wherein the zinc-based electroplated film is subjected to chromate treatment and / or resin coating treatment thereon.
[0029]
Here, the peak count (PPI) is the number of peaks of unevenness per inch as defined in the SAE911 standard. The peak count PPI is represented by a value at a count level of ± 0.625 μm.
[0030]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
As a result of investigating various types of unevenness caused by defects in the original plate of the electrogalvanized steel sheet, the present inventors found that the cause of any unevenness is that the plated crystal form is different between the unevenness part and its peripheral part. It became clear that.
[0031]
How the plating form of the uneven portion and its peripheral portion specifically differs depends on the type of unevenness (difference in shape and size) due to the difference in plating conditions and the original plate, so it cannot be said unconditionally. The reason why the shape of the plated crystal is different between the uneven portion and its peripheral portion is naturally different depending on the type of unevenness. As an example, for unevenness appearing in a linear shape having a width of 0.1 to 1 mm and a length of several centimeters, the step width of the galvanized crystal is wider in the uneven portion than in the peripheral portion of the unevenness. Therefore, the light scattering forms of the uneven portion and the uneven peripheral portion are different and are observed as unevenness. In this linear uneven part, the oxide film composition and thickness on the surface of the original plate are different from the peripheral part, so the reduction reaction of zinc ions, crystal nucleation, and crystal growth during electrogalvanization are affected. Is presumed to have different zinc crystal morphology. In another type of unevenness, the characteristics of the plated crystal form and the cause of unevenness are different. Therefore, no technology has been found so far that can effectively solve various problems of unevenness.
[0032]
As a result of various investigations to prevent the difference in plating crystal form between the uneven part and its peripheral part, the present inventors have made the surface form of the plating original plate as fine as the electrogalvanized film and diffusely reflect light. Specifically, by making the surface shape of the plating original plate a high PPI shape, it is possible to prevent a difference in plating crystal form between the uneven portion and the peripheral portion after electrogalvanizing, and to prevent defects in the original plate. As a result, it became clear that various unevenness in appearance caused by the galvanized steel became difficult to see, and an electrogalvanized steel sheet having a good surface appearance was obtained.
[0033]
In addition, in a steel sheet with low whiteness that has been blackened, such as a black chemical conversion treated steel sheet, even if there are factors that cause unevenness after plating such as oxide concentration on the original plate surface, Since the difference in whiteness is small, it is not observed as unevenness, and it has been found that the problem of unevenness due to surface defects of the plating original plate hardly occurs.
[0034]
The present invention is based on these findings.
[0035]
The PPI of the original electrogalvanized steel sheet is about 120 to 180. However, in order to conceal the appearance irregularity caused by the surface defects of the original sheet, the PPI of the plating original sheet needs to be 312 or more. By setting the PPI of the plating original plate to 312 or more, after the electrogalvanization, the surface of the plating film at the defective portion of the original plate is likely to be diffusely reflected, and shows light reflection characteristics substantially the same as the surface of the plating film at the peripheral portion of the original plate defect. It becomes like this. Therefore, even if the steel plate is likely to cause unevenness due to defects in the original plate, unevenness after plating is difficult to see, the problem of unevenness is solved, and a galvanized steel plate having an excellent surface appearance is obtained.
[0036]
A blackened steel plate such as a black chemical conversion treated steel plate has an L value of less than 40, and in such a steel plate, the occurrence of unevenness due to plating plate defects is hardly a problem. It is preferable that the zinc-based plated steel sheet has an L value of 40 or more. A normal electrogalvanized steel sheet, and the one subjected to chromate treatment and resin coating treatment have an L value of 40 or more. Here, the L value is L of Hunter's Lab color system measured under the condition c (d-0) defined in JIS Z8722. The light source used was C defined in JIS Z8720.
[0037]
The effect of the present invention is not limited to the electrogalvanized steel sheet, and the effect of the present invention is exhibited for an electrogalvanized steel sheet such as Zn-Ni. The amount of plating is not particularly limited.
[0038]
ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the electrogalvanized steel plate which has the outstanding external appearance without the generation | occurrence | production of the nonuniformity resulting from a base plate irrespective of the difference in the steel type of a base steel plate (plating base plate), and manufacture log | history is obtained.
[0039]
Even for steel sheets that have been chromate-treated (coating type, reactive type, electrolytic type) after zinc plating, and further coated with resin, etc., there is a problem of uneven appearance after plating. The effects of the present invention are exhibited.
[0040]
The electrogalvanized steel sheet of the present invention adjusts the PPI on the surface of the plating original plate within the range defined by the present invention before the electrogalvanizing step. As a method for adjusting the PPI on the surface of the plating original plate to a required PPI, fine particle projection can be exemplified. Subsequently, it manufactures by performing electrogalvanizing by the conventional method at the said zinc plating process. If necessary, a chromate treatment (coating type, reaction type, electrolytic type) and further a resin coating treatment or the like may be further performed thereon.
[0041]
【Example】
Cold-rolled steel sheet (steel plate A: thickness 0.8mm x width 70mm x length 170mm) that produces linear irregularities when subjected to normal electrogalvanizing as the original plating plate, cold-rolled steel sheet (steel sheet B) that produces dotted irregularities : Thickness 0.8mm x width 70mm x length 170mm), a steel sheet whose surface shape (PPI) was adjusted by fine particle projection was prepared, and the PPI of the surface of the produced steel sheet was measured. The projection conditions are as follows.
[0042]
・ Shot particles: High speed with an average particle size of 55μm ・ Projection density: 1-9kg / m 2
・ Projection speed: 190m / s
The steel plate produced above was degreased with alkali, washed with water, and then pickled for 5 seconds with 10% sulfuric acid at 30 ° C. After subsequent washing with water, electrogalvanization was performed under the following conditions.
・ Plating bath: Acidic sulfuric acid bath (pH 2.0, temperature 50 ℃) containing Zn 2+ ions 1.5mol / l
・ Relative flow velocity: 1.5m / s
・ Current density: 50A / dm 2
Zinc coating weight: 22 g / m 2
About the electrogalvanized steel plate produced on the above conditions, the unevenness generation | occurrence | production state was investigated. The survey results are shown in Table 1. The L value was 75 or more for any zinc electroplated steel sheet.
[0043]
[Table 1]
Figure 0004120497
[0044]
As shown in Table 1, all of the steel sheets of the invention examples having PPIs within the scope of the present invention were free from unevenness, and a beautiful and uniform plating appearance was obtained. The steel sheet of the comparative example in which the PPI is out of the scope of the present invention causes linear unevenness or dotted unevenness and is inferior in surface appearance.
[0045]
In this example, the PPI of the steel sheet surface was adjusted by fine particle projection, but the present invention is not limited to this example, and the application of PPI to the steel sheet surface is another method such as roll rolling or electric discharge machining. It may be due to.
[0046]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, regardless of differences in the steel type and manufacturing history of the base steel plate, the occurrence of unevenness due to surface defects of the base steel plate can be prevented, and an electrogalvanized steel plate having an excellent appearance can be obtained.
[0047]
In addition, although the appearance unevenness after plating becomes a problem also about the steel plate which carried out the chromate process after metal plating, and also the resin coating process on it, the effect of this invention is show | played also about these steel plates.
