Abstract
An improved sheet steel suitable for the production of containers and the like has a thin composite coating of nickel and zinc plated on both sides thereof. The steel substrate may be flat rolled blackplate and the composite nickel-zinc coating may be plated thereon by drawing a running length or strip of the steel through a nickel electroplating bath to which has been added the necessary concentration of zinc, and electrodepositing the two coating metals simultaneously and in the desired proportions. The coated steel sheet is particularly useful in forming drawn and ironed cans although it may be used for other purposes.
