Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a surface-treated metal material with excellent environmental friendliness and close adhesion, corrosion resistance, dent resistance, and a method of treating the surfaces of the metal material that is easy, cost-effective, and can be applied to various materials. The surface-treated metal material has a surface-treating layer that contains inorganic components, including titanium, oxygen, and fluorine, without containing phosphoric acid ions. The surface-treated metal material can be used for various applications, such as metal cans and can lids, and the method of treating the surfaces of the metal material is simple and cost-effective.

Problems solved by technology

According to the method of forming an organic / inorganic composite coating containing an organic compound having carbon as a chief component, a phosphorus compound and a zirconium or titanium compound, the close adhesion improves to some extent but the corrosion resistance is not sufficient.
According to the method of forming a surface-treating layer comprising chiefly an inorganic material on the surface of the aluminum base material and forming an organic surface-treating layer comprising chiefly an aqueous phenol resin thereon, the close adhesion and corrosion resistance are both improved to some extent accompanied, however, by such problems as an increased number of steps and complex treatment of waste liquor after the chemical solution was used.
Besides, there remain such problems as an increased cost for the heat-exchanging facility for cooling the treating solution and for a power source of a large capacity, and requiring a high running cost consuming large amounts of electric power for the treatment.
Further, when the thickness of the base member itself is small like an aluminum foil, the base member dissolves during the anodic oxidation treatment or the anodic oxide film which can be poorly worked occupies an increased proportion causing a decrease in the flexibility of the foil.
In treating the aluminum material with a polyacrylic acid and a zirconium compound, the formed coating is an organic / inorganic composite coating, and the treating method is basically the application-type treatment, leaving a problem with respect to wettability and close adhesion to the metallic base member during the high-speed treatment.

example 1

1. Formation of a Surface-Treated Metal Sheet

[0226]As a metal sheet, an aluminum alloy sheet, JIS 5021H18, having a thickness of 0.25 mm was pretreated, i.e., treated with a dewaxing agent 322N8 (produced by Nihon Paint Co.) according to an established method in a bath maintained at 70° C. for 10 seconds, and was washed with water, immersed in 1% sulfuric acid maintained at 40° C. for 5 seconds, washed with water and, then, with pure water. Next, the cathodic electrolysis was intermittently conducted in the treating bath A shown in Table 2 maintained at a bath temperature of 45° C. with stirring, using a titanium sheet coated with iridium oxide disposed at a position maintaining an interelectrode distance of 17 mm as an anode at a current density of 10 A / dm2 and flowing the current for 0.4 seconds and halting the current for 0.6 seconds repetitively 4 times. The aluminum alloy sheet was immediately subjected to the after-treatment, i.e., washing with flowing water, with pure water a...

example 2

[0232]The surface was treated, coated with the resin, and the lids were formed and evaluated in the same manner as in Example 1 but setting the current density to be 5 A / dm2 and flowing the current for 0.6 seconds and halting the current for 0.4 seconds repetitively 8 times.

example 3

[0233]The surface was treated, Coated with the resin, and the lids were formed and evaluated in the same manner as in Example 1 but using the treating bath B of Table 2 and setting the current density to be 7 A / dm2.

Abstract

A surface-treated metal material having, formed on the surface of a metal base member, an inorganic surface-treating layer that contains inorganic components or, further having an organic surface-treating layer formed on the inorganic surface-treating layer, the inorganic surface-treating layer containing at least M (M is at least one of Ti, Zr and Al), O and F. The organic surface-treating layer contains a silane coupling agent containing Si in an amount of 0.8 to 30 mg / m2 or a phenol-type water-soluble organic compound.
