  • a non-oxidizing or reducing gas is usually used as an atmosphere gas, and also a dew point is strictly controlled.
  • the oxidation of the steel sheet surface is controlled.
  • the Si-containing oxide is formed not only the surface of the steel sheet but also in the interior of the steel matrix, it is known that the oxide obstructs the etching property on the surface of the steel sheet in the phosphate treatment (treatment with zinc phosphate) made as an underlaying treatment for electrodeposition coating and badly affects the formation of sound phosphate treated coating.
  • the lowering of the temperature of the phosphate treating solution is proceeding for the purpose of reducing the sludge amount generated in the phosphate treatment and the running cost, and hence the phosphate treatment is carried out under a condition that the reactivity of the phosphate treating solution to the steel sheet is considerably low as compared with the conventional technique.
  • the change of the phosphate treating condition is not particularly questioned by the improvement of the surface adjusting technique or the like in the conventionally used common steel sheets having a less addition amount of an alloy.
  • the steel sheet having a greater addition amount of alloying component particularly a high-strength cold-rolled steel sheet attempted to increase the strength by adding a greater amount of Si, however, the influence of changing the phosphate treating condition as mentioned above is very large.
  • the cold-rolled steel sheet having a greater amount of Si therefore, it is required that the surface of the steel sheet itself is activated in correspondence with the deterioration of the phosphate treating condition to enhance the reactivity with the phosphate treating solution.
  • the inventors have made various investigations on a method of improving the phosphate treatability for corresponding to the deterioration of the phosphate treating condition as mentioned above. As a result, it has been found out that it is effective to conduct strong pickling of the surface of the cold-rolled steel sheet after continuous annealing with nitric acid as a pickling solution to remove a Si-containing oxide layer formed on the surface of the steel sheet by continuous annealing and the like after cold rolling.
  • Si-containing oxide used herein means SiO 2 or Si—Mn base composite oxide formed on the surface of the steel sheet or along crystal grain boundary inside the steel sheet in the slab heating or after hot rolling or in annealing after cold rolling.
  • the thickness of the layer containing these Si-containing oxides varied depending upon components of the steel sheet or the annealing condition (temperature, time, atmosphere), but is usually about 1 ⁇ m from the surface of the steel sheet.
  • the term “removal of the Si-containing oxide layer” according to the invention means that the pickling is carried out to remove the Si-containing oxide layer to a level that peaks of Si, O do not appear when the surface of the steel sheet is analyzed in depth direction by means of GDS (glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy).
  • nitric acid is used as the pickling solution is due to the fact that the Si—Mn based composite oxide among the Si-containing oxides is easily dissolved in the acid, but SiO 2 is hardly soluble, and in order to remove the latter, nitric acid as a strong-oxidizing acid must be used to remove the Si-containing oxide on the surface of the steel sheet together with the steel matrix.
  • the phosphate treatability is largely improved by conducting strong pickling with nitric acid after the continuous annealing to remove the Si-containing oxide layer existing on the surface of the steel sheet but the phosphate treatability may be deteriorated at moments.
  • the cause is further investigated, it is newly found that although the Si-containing oxide layer is removed by the strong pickling with nitric acid, Fe dissolved from the surface of the steel sheet by the pickling separately produces an iron-based oxide, which is settled and precipitated on the surface of the steel sheet so as to cover the steel sheet surface to thereby deteriorate the phosphate treatability.
  • the inventors have also found that the phosphate treatability is more improved and the corrosion resistance is further improved when the covering ratio of the iron-based oxide generated on the surface of the steel sheet by pickling is not more than 85% and further the maximum thickness of the iron-based oxide is not more than 200 nm and that it is effective as means for attaining the above to control the concentration of hydrochloric acid having the effect of breaking an oxide film, which is used in a part of the pickling solution, to an adequate range for pickling.
  • the iron-based oxide in the invention means an oxide composed mainly of iron wherein an atomic concentration ratio of iron is not less than 30% as an element other than oxygen constituting the oxide.
  • the iron-based oxide is existent on the surface of the steel sheet at an uneven thickness, which is different from a natural oxide film existing uniformly and in layer at a thickness of few nm.
  • the iron-based oxide generated on the surface of the cold-rolled steel sheet is confirmed to be amorphous from the observation by means of a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and analysis results of diffraction pattern (analytical diagram) through an electron diffractometry.
  • TEM transmission electron microscope
  • the invention is accomplished by conducting further examinations on the above new knowledge.
  • Si is an element effective for attaining the increase of the strength of the steel because the effect of enhancing the strength of steel (solid-solution strengthening ability) is large without largely damaging the workability, but is also an element adversely exerting on the phosphate treatability and the corrosion resistance after coating.
  • Si is added as means for attaining a high strength, the addition of not less than 0.5 mass % is necessary. If the Si content is less than 0.5 mass %, the influence due to the deterioration of the phosphate treating conditions is less. On the other hand, when the Si content exceeds 3.0 mass %, the hot rolling property and cold rolling property are largely deteriorated, which is adversely influenced on the productivity and leads to the deterioration of ductility of the steel sheet itself. Therefore, Si is added within a range of 0.5-3.0 mass %. Preferably, it is a range of 0.8-2.5 mass %.
  • the cold-rolled steel sheet of the invention is an essential feature to include Si in the above range.
  • the other components are acceptable as far as they are included within composition ranges in the common cold-rolled steel sheet, and are not particularly limited.
