Benefits of technology

[0007]An object of the present invention is to provide a coating method capable of performing coating excellent in adhesion and corrosion resistance on a stainless steel substrate by an economical and simple process. The coating method makes it possible to obtain sufficient coating adhesion and sufficient corrosion resistance even with a thin film coating of 25 to 30 μm, for example. Another object of the present invention is to provide a coated stainless steel member being chromium-free and having high corrosion resistance, and in particular, a coated stainless steel FIP.
[0008]The present inventors have conducted earnest study to achieve the above objects. As a result, the present inventors have found the following fact. Specifically, by performing Wood's strike nickel plating excellent in adhesion to stainless steel on a stainless steel member, a hard oxide film formed on the stainless steel can be removed, and reformation of the oxide film can be prevented. Subsequently, cationic electrodeposition is performed on such a Wood's strike nickel plating film. In this manner, extremely excellent adhesion between the cationic electrodeposition and the Wood's strike nickel plating can be achieved without forming any film for improving coating film adhesion, and sufficient coating adhesion and corrosion resistance can be obtained on a stainless steel substrate by thin film coating. This finding has led to the completion of the present invention. Specifically, the present invention provides a coated stainless steel member comprising: a stainless steel substrate; and a Wood's strike nickel plating layer and a cationic electrodeposition coating layer which are stacked in this order on the stainless steel substrate.
[0010]In a case of coating on stainless steel, the present invention makes it possible to obtain sufficient coating adhesion and corrosion resistance with a thin film coating of 25 to 30 μm.

Problems solved by technology

However, in a case of coating on stainless steel, a surface treatment film such as a zinc phosphate film formed for enhancing the coating adhesion cannot be formed, and hence a sufficient coating adhesion cannot be obtained, because a stable oxide film is formed on a surface of the stainless steel .
However, such a method is not economical.
However, even in the case of stainless steel FIPs, the corrosion resistance is insufficient at welded portions and the like.
However, it is difficult to perform electrodeposition excellent in adhesion and corrosion prevention on a stainless steel substrate, as described above.

[0019]The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the following non-limiting Examples and

[0020]Comparative examples. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many changes can be made in the embodiments described without departing from the scope of the present invention.

examples 1 to 5

[0021]By using 50 g / L of a degreasing agent HD-37 (manufactured by DIPSOL CHEMICALS Co., Ltd.), an SUS436 panel (50 mm×100 mm×0.3 mm in thickness) is subjected to cathode electrolysis degreasing under conditions of 50° C., 10 minutes, and a cathode current density of 1 A / dm2. Subsequently, the panel was washed with water. After that, Wood's strike nickel plating was performed (40° C.) under plating conditions shown in Table 1 by using a bath having the following composition.

Nickel chloride (NiCl2)220 g / L35% hydrochloric acid (HCl)230 ml / LBoric acid (H3BO3) 30 g / LDS-55 (manufactured by DIPSOL CHEMICALS Co., Ltd.) 1 ml / L

[0022]After that, the panel was washed with water, and subjected to cationic electrodeposition (25 to 30 μm) in a usual manner, by using an electrodeposition paint CFA 590-034 manufactured by PPG. After washed with water, the panel was baked and dried at 200° C. for 25 minutes. The obtained coated panel was immersed in 5% aqueous sodium chloride at 55° C. for 240 hours...
