[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a hot-spot steel plate with excellent durability for spot welding electrode chips. [Prior Art] Methods for improving the weldability of galvanized steel sheets include, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open Nos. 55-110783 and 1983-
As described in Publication No. 63394, an oxide film such as Al 2 O 3 is formed on the surface of the galvanized steel sheet, and the high melting point of the oxide,
It is disclosed that high electrical resistance is utilized to improve weldability and to prevent contact between the electrode tip and the plating metal, thereby preventing melting and damage of the tip and extending its life. Furthermore, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 59-104463, the surface of the plated steel sheet is heat treated to increase the ZnO/Zn ratio from 0.1 to
It has been disclosed that the weldability and the like can be similarly improved by forming an oxide film with a 0.70. However, even with such methods, it is still difficult to obtain satisfactory results on an industrial scale, and there is a strong demand for improved weldability in galvanized steel sheets. In addition, the reality is that no effective improvement method has yet been found for any steel plate.
It is desired to develop a common improvement method for various steel plates. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a galvanized steel sheet with excellent durability for spot welding electrode tips. [Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention is characterized in that zinc oxide and zinc are formed on the surface of a galvanized steel sheet by electrolysis in an acidic bath containing zinc ions and an oxidizing agent, using the steel sheet as a cathode. A method for manufacturing a highly durable hot-dipped steel plate for spot welding electrode tips, characterized in that an oxide layer containing one or two types of hydroxide is deposited in an amount of 0.03 to 3.0 g/m 2 of zinc. be. The galvanized steel sheets that are the object of the present invention include those manufactured by various methods such as hot-dip plating, electroplating, vapor deposition plating, and thermal spraying. The plating composition includes pure Zn, Zn and Fe, and Zn and
With Zn as the main component, such as Ni, Zn and Al, Zn and Mn,
Contains one or more alloying elements and impurity elements to improve various functions such as corrosion resistance, and
Ceramic particles such as SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 , TiO 2
There are types in which oxides and organic polymers such as oxides and organic polymers are dispersed in the plating layer, and there are those with a single composition in the thickness direction of the plated layer, and those with a composition that changes continuously or in layers. Furthermore, some multi-layer plated steel sheets have a top layer, an intermediate layer, and a bottom layer that are mainly composed of Fe or Ni, contain no or some Zn, and contain various alloying elements such as P. For example, hot-dip galvanized steel sheets, iron-zinc alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheets, hot-dip galvanized steel sheets made of alloys such as aluminum and iron containing mainly zinc, and alloys whose lower layer is alloyed in the cross-sectional direction of the plating layer. Hot-dip galvanized steel sheet (generally referred to as half-alloy),
A galvanized steel sheet consisting of an iron/zinc alloyed hot-dip galvanized layer on one side and a hot-dip galvanized layer on the other side. Zinc,
Steel sheets plated with metals mainly composed of iron or nickel, electrogalvanized steel sheets, electroplated steel sheets with alloys such as zinc, nickel, chromium, etc., single alloy layer or multilayer alloy electroplated steel sheets, and these. There are plated steel sheets with an organic film coated on the plating layer, and steel sheets plated with zinc and zinc-containing metals by vapor deposition. In addition, there are dispersion-plated steel sheets in which fine ceramic particles such as SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 , fine particles of TiO 2 oxide, and organic polymers are dispersed in zinc or zinc alloy plating. In the present invention, an oxide layer containing one or both of zinc oxide and zinc hydroxide is formed on the surface of the steel sheet by electrolysis in an acidic bath containing zinc ions and an oxidizing agent, using the steel sheet as a cathode. The amount of zinc is 0.03-3.0
g/ m2 to be deposited. The reason for this is as follows. When plated steel plates are joined by spot welding, the heat generated during welding melts the plated layer, causing the copper in the chip composition to react selectively with the plated metal, forming a hard and brittle alloy layer, which causes the chip to melt. is worn out, shortening the life of the electrode tip. However, if a zinc oxide or hydroxide layer exists between the electrode tip and the plating layer, this layer has the effect of preventing selective alloying of copper and the plating metal, leading to wear and tear on the electrode tip. delay. The reason for this is that the contact between the chip and the plating metal is cut off by the layer, preventing erosion due to the formation of an alloy layer, and the plating metal in a molten state is alloyed with the iron of the steel plate, which mainly contains iron. This becomes an alloy that adheres to the tip of the electrode tip and forms a protective metal film for the chip.Even if welding continues, the thickness and shape of the protective metal film do not change significantly, allowing for consistently good welding. This is also thought to be because damage to the chip can be prevented. The composition of this protective metal is mainly an alloy of plating metal and base iron, and the average concentration is Fe:
20-60%, Zn: 48-80%,
Generally, a higher Fe concentration is preferable. It may also contain components of plating metal, components of steel sheets such as Mn and S, components of surface treatment products such as chemical conversion treatment such as Cr, and components of electrode chips such as Cu. As described above, in order to extend the life of the spot welding electrode tip, it is sufficient to form a zinc oxide layer or hydroxide layer on the surface of the steel sheet. If the plating layer contains a large amount of zinc, it is sufficient to oxidize this layer, but if the upper layer does not contain zinc or has a low zinc content, simply oxidizing the plating layer will produce zinc oxide. It cannot be said that the method of oxidizing the plated layer is necessarily common to all steel sheets. Therefore, in the method of the present invention, a method common to all galvanized steel plates has been discovered, in which zinc is oxidized and adhered to the surface of the galvanized steel plate. That is, an oxide layer containing one or both of zinc oxide and zinc hydroxide is formed on the surface of various galvanized steel sheets by electrolysis in an acidic bath containing zinc ions and an oxidizing agent, with the steel sheet serving as a cathode. This is a method of attaching. The oxidizing agents mentioned here include ozone, peroxide, permanganic acid and its salts, dichromate, hypochlorous acid and its salts, chlorous acid and its salts, chloric acid and its salts, and hypobromite. These include acids and their salts, bromic acid and its salts, hypoiodic acid and its salts, iodic acid and its salts, nitric acid and its salts, etc. Peroxide refers to, for example, potassium peroxide, hydrogen peroxide, sodium peroxide, sodium hydrogen peroxide, barium peroxide, magnesium peroxide, etc., all of which generate hydrogen peroxide in an acidic aqueous solution. It has a strong oxidizing effect. As the oxidizing agent for the method of the present invention, one of these substances can be used.
A species or two or more species can be added and used. It can also be used in combination with an acid to enhance the oxidizing effect. In the method of the present invention, electrolysis is performed in an aqueous solution containing these oxidizing agents using a steel plate as a cathode. Among the oxidizing agents, nitric acid or nitrates are most preferred in consideration of bath stability, waste liquid treatment, and work safety. In the method of the present invention, the oxide layer containing zinc oxide or zinc hydroxide refers to a layer containing ZnO, Zn(OH) 2 , etc. It may contain ZnFe 2 O 4 or other substances contained in the bath. Further, it may contain impurities such as Al. The amount of adhesion of the oxide layer is 0.03 in terms of the amount of zinc.
If it is less than 3.0 g/m 2 , there is no effect of improving weldability, so this value is set as the lower limit, and if it exceeds 3.0 g/m 2 , chemical conversion properties deteriorate, so this value is set as the upper limit. However, as mentioned above, the amount of zinc ions is such that the oxide layer is produced in the amount of Zn of 0.03 to 3.0 g/m 2 , and is inevitably determined as Zn 2+ .
Further, the amount of oxidizing agent is the amount necessary to oxidize zinc ions, and this is also necessarily determined. [Examples] Next, Examples of the present invention are listed in Table 1 along with comparative examples. As shown in Table 1, it can be seen that according to the method of the present invention, the life of the electrode chip is significantly improved compared to the comparative example.

By increasing the number of continuous welding points, it is possible to weld for a longer period of time without replacing the tip, and the durability of the tip can be improved. Furthermore, since the appropriate welding current range is at the same level as conventional materials, productivity during welding can be significantly improved.
