Tin-free steel sheets having intimately bonded metallic chromium and hydrated chromium oxide coatings thereon and possessing improved resistance to retorting treatment and improved adhesion to paint films to be applied thereon are produced by chromium plating a steel sheet in a chromium plating bath containing an assistant to deposit and form metallic chromium and hydrated chromium oxide coatings on the sheet surface, subjecting the sheet to reverse electrolysis in the same chromium plating bath to partially dissolve away the metallic chromium and hydrated chromium oxide coatings together with the assistant anions codeposited in the hydrated chromium oxide coating, rinsing the sheet with water, and thereafter subjecting the sheet to an electrolytic chromate treatment in an electrolytic chromate treating bath.

Method of producing tin-free steel sheets

A process for improving the rust and corrosion resistance of thinly coated tinplate is disclosed, wherein a steel sheet coated with 0.02-0.2 g/m.sup.2 of nickel prior to annealing is coated with 0.05-1.5 g/m.sup.2 of tin, subsequently being trated with 0.3-10 C/dm.sup.2 of chromate and then subjected to a treatment of melting tin (reflow). A layer of alloy thus formed is highly rust resistant and structurally different from any of those formed on thinly coated tinplate according to the prior art, so that highly rust resistant tinplate sheets for use in the manufacture of welded cans can be obtained.

Production of highly rust resistant tinplate sheets for welded cans

An improved wire with an excellent adhesion with rubber is disclosed for reinforcing rubber goods, made by a diffusion process wherein oxides formed on the surface of plated metal during diffusion are removed before drawing.

Process of making plated wire for reinforcing rubber goods

A method of producing a highly corrosion resistant tin-plated steel sheet is disclosed by which a metal or alloy coating having a thickness from 0.005.mu. to 0.5.mu. and selected from the class consisting of Ni, Cu and Ni-Sn alloy is plated upon a steel sheet. The thus plated steel sheet is heated in a non-oxidizing atmosphere to such an extent that said plated coating is penetrated and diffused into the steel sheet whereby a reformed steel sheet surface where said plating coating is disappeared is secured. A tin coating is then plated upon said reformed steel sheet surface. This reformed steel sheet surface is sandwiched between the plating tin coating and the steel sheet and contributes greatly to corrosion resistant property of the tin-plated steel sheet.

Method of producing highly corrosion resistant tin-plated steel sheet

A method of producing an aluminum or aluminum alloy coated steel sheet with the aid of powder method is disclosed. The method comprises preliminarily applying a zinc coating having a thickness of 0.01 to 0.3 .mu.m, preferably 0.03 to 0.3 .mu.m to a steel sheet surface, applying an aluminum powder to the zinc coated steel sheet and subjecting the coated steel sheet to steps of heating, rolling and heating again or steps of rolling, heating, rolling again and heating again.

Method of producing aluminum or aluminum alloy coated steel sheets with

A composite zinc-aluminum dispersion plated steel sheet and a method of producing same are disclosed. The plated steel sheet comprises an electrolytical zinc plated layer containing 1.5 to 70% by weight of aluminum dispersed therein. The method comprises adding aluminum powder to an electrolytical zinc plating bath composition, dispersing the aluminum powder into the plating bath to provide a composite zinc-aluminum dispersion plating bath, and electrolytical treating a steel sheet in the composite zinc-aluminum dispersion plating bath while agitating it. The plated steel sheet enhances corrosion resistances and does not show any spangles which impair the appearances after subsequent painting of the plated steel sheet.
