Title of invention: Pre-coated steel sheet
Technical field
[0001]
 The present invention relates to a precoated steel sheet.
 The present application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2017-243736 filed in Japan on December 20, 2017, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Background technology
[0002]
 As exterior materials for home appliances, building materials, automobiles, etc., painted products that are painted after processing and pre-coated steel sheets that are coated with a paint film are used.
[0003]
 Until now, pre-coated steel sheets have generally been coated with a plurality of coating films having shared functions. This coating film often consists of at least two layers, a primer layer that imparts corrosion resistance and a top layer that imparts designability, solvent resistance, and the like. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a coated steel sheet having a coating film containing a plurality of rust preventive pigments on a Zn plating layer.
[0004]
 In recent years, a colored steel sheet that can be manufactured at low cost has been studied from the viewpoint of manufacturability and economy. For example, Patent Document 2 discloses a chromate-free black-coated metal plate on which a black coating film based on a resin having a thickness of 2 to 10 μm is formed. Similar to the conventional pre-coated steel sheet having a two-layer coating film, these steel sheets are also required to have scratch resistance, sweat resistance, corrosion resistance of processed parts, adhesion, and end face coagulation peeling resistance.

Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-291160
Patent Document 2: International Publication No. 2010/137726
Patent Document 3: International Publication No. 2012/133671
Outline of the invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
[0006]
 The chromate-free black-coated metal plate described in Patent Document 2 has a problem that the coating film is scratched until or during the processing, and the scratches are conspicuous due to the scratches on the steel sheet. Further, when the chemical conversion treatment is not performed between the coating film and the metal plate, there is a problem that the adhesion is remarkably inferior.
[0007]
 For example, Patent Document 3 discloses a steel sheet having a plating layer containing Zn and V and having a coating film coated immediately above the plating layer. Since the plating layer containing Zn and V is hard, it is difficult for flaws to occur, and because it is black, the flaws are not noticeable, so that it is excellent in flaw resistance.
[0008]
 However, as a result of examination by the inventors, a steel sheet having a coating film containing an organic resin on a plating layer containing Zn and V described in Patent Document 3 may be inferior in sweat resistance and corrosion resistance in a processed portion. I understood. Here, the sweat resistance refers to a phenomenon in which, after sweat adheres to a steel sheet, the sweat permeates the coating film to discolor the coating film, or the sweat dissolves the base of the coating film. In particular, it is known that when the coating film contains a water-dispersed resin containing a sulfonic acid group, a water-dispersed urethane resin, or the like, the sweat resistance is inferior.
[0009]
 Further, it was found that the plating layer containing Zn and V is easily cracked during processing, and at the same time, the coating film is also cracked, so that the corrosion resistance of the processed portion is also inferior. On the other hand, a coating film having excellent elongation is hard to crack, but there is a problem that the coating film is coagulated and peeled off when the cut end face is slid when the coated steel sheet is pressed (cohesive peeling of the end face coating film). "End face coating film coagulation peeling" is a phenomenon in which the coating film at the cut end is peeled off due to the cohesive failure of the coating film itself caused by ironing. Conventionally, it has been difficult to achieve both corrosion resistance of a processed portion and cohesive peeling resistance of an end face coating film at a high level.
[0010]
 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a precoated steel sheet having excellent scratch resistance, sweat resistance, corrosion resistance of processed parts, and end face coagulation peeling resistance.
[0011]
 The present inventor has studied diligently in order to solve the above problems. With the conventional coated steel sheet, excellent scratch resistance, sweat resistance, etc. could not be obtained unless a base treatment and a primer layer were used between the steel sheet and the coating film. However, as a result of research, surprisingly, a butylated melamine resin and a binder resin having an OH group are found directly above a plating layer containing one or more of vanadium and zirconium and zinc without using a base treatment and a primer layer. It was found that excellent scratch resistance, sweat resistance, end face coating coagulation peeling resistance, and corrosion resistance of processed parts can be obtained by forming a coating film having a predetermined glass transition temperature by performing a curing reaction with. It was. Here, "directly above" means that they are in contact with each other without sandwiching another layer.
Means to solve problems
[0012]
 The gist of the present invention is as follows.
(1) The precoated steel sheet according to one aspect of the present invention is formed on the steel sheet, a plating layer containing one or more of vanadium and zirconium and zinc on at least one surface of the steel sheet, and directly above the plating layer.

It is possible to provide a precoated steel sheet having excellent properties.
A brief description of the drawing
[0016]
FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a precoated steel sheet according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing concentrations of V, Zn, and C in the depth direction obtained by measuring a precoated steel sheet according to an embodiment of the present invention by a glow discharge emission method.
Mode for carrying out the invention
[0017]
 Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
[0018]
 Hereinafter, the precoated steel sheet according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a precoated steel sheet 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
 The precoated steel sheet 10 of the present invention contains zinc (Zn) and vanadium (V) or Zn and zirconium (Zr) on at least one surface of the steel sheet 1 (that is, one surface or both sides of the steel sheet 1) by cathodic electrolysis. It is a precoated steel sheet 10 in which a coating film 3 is formed by forming a plating layer 2, applying a coating material containing a binder resin or the like on the plating layer 2, and heating the plating layer 2.
 For pre-coated steel sheets in which the glass transition temperature of the coating film and the dynamic surface tension of the paint are not sufficiently controlled, the resin may not sufficiently penetrate into the plating layer and sufficient adhesion may not be obtained (Table 6). -2).
[0019]
(Steel plate) In the
 present embodiment, the steel plate 1 is not particularly limited. For example, ultra-low C type, Al-k type, two-phase structure type (for example, structure containing martensite in ferrite), work-induced transformation type (structure containing retained austenite in ferrite), fine crystal type (mainly ferrite). Any type of steel plate such as (texture) may be used as the steel plate 1.
[0020]
(Plating layer) The
 plating layer 2 contains one or more of V and Zr and Zn ions as elements. Specifically, the plating layer 2 contains any one or more of V and Zr metals, oxides and hydroxides, and one or more of Zn metals, oxides and hydroxides. The plating layer 2 is produced from an electrolytic treatment bath composed of a solution containing one or more of V and Zr and Zn ions.
[0021]
 The plating layer 2 can be produced by subjecting the steel sheet 1 to cathodic electrolysis using a solution containing one or more of V ions and Zr ions and Zn ions. A solution containing one or more of V ions and Zr ions and Zn ions can be prepared by a conventionally known method. Specifically, it can be obtained by dissolving Zn sulfate, vanadyl oxide or zirconyl nitrate in, for example, an inorganic acid, for example, sulfuric acid.
[0022]
 The pH of the solution containing one or more of V ions and Zr ions and Zn ions is preferably 1.0 to 4.0. If the pH is lower than 1.0, one or more of V and Zr may not be incorporated into the plating layer 2. When the pH is higher than 4.0, V ions or Zr ions are precipitated as oxides in a solution containing one or more of V and Zr and Zn ions, and are not incorporated into the plating layer 2.
[0023]
 Mass ratio of one or more V ions and Zr ions in a solution containing one or more V ions and Zr ions and Zn ions to Zn ions ((one or more V ions and Zr ions) / Zn Ions) are preferably 0.20 to 0.90. If it is smaller than 0.20 or larger than 0.90, one or more of V ions and Zr ions may not be incorporated into the plating layer 2.
[0024]
 The component composition of the metal ion or the plating layer 2 in the solution containing one or more of V ion and Zr ion and Zn ion is a known method such as ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) emission spectroscopic analysis or fluorescent X-ray spectroscopic analysis. Can be analyzed. When the component composition of the plating layer 2 is analyzed by ICP emission spectroscopic analysis, the plating layer 2 is dissolved in a solution prepared by adding an inhibitor to hydrochloric acid or the like so that the steel plate 1 is not dissolved, and the measurement is performed.
[0025]
 The lower limit of the amount of Zn adhered to the plating layer 2 is preferably 1.5 g / m 2 or more. This is because when the amount of Zn adhered is 1.5 g / m 2 or more, the scratch resistance is improved. The upper limit of the amount of Zn adhered is preferably 9 g / m 2 or less. This is because when the amount of Zn adhered is 9 g / m 2 or less, the adhesion between the plating layer 2 and the steel sheet 1 is improved, and the end face coating film coagulation peeling property is improved.
[0026]
 When one or more of V and Zr ions and one or more of Zr ions are present together with Zn ions in a solution containing one or more of V and Zr ions and Zn ions, one or more of V and Zr and Zn are dendrite-like. It precipitates on the steel plate or the outermost surface of the previously deposited plating to form a plating layer. Therefore, many irregularities are formed on the surface of the plating layer 2 formed by performing the cathode electrolysis treatment in the coexistence of one or more of Zn ions, V ions, and Zr ions. By the resin entering the unevenness, a sufficient anchor effect can be obtained between the coating film 3 and the plating layer 2, and the end face coating film coagulation peeling property is improved. The total adhesion amount of one or more of V and Zr is preferably 0.35 g / m 2 or more and 1.00 g / m 2 or less in terms of V or Zr . When the total adhesion amount of one or more of V and Zr is 0.35 g / m 2 or more, one or more of Zn and V and Zr grow in a dendrite shape, so that the end face coating film coagulation peeling property is improved. Therefore, it is preferable. If the total amount of adhesion of one or more of V and Zr exceeds 1.00 g / m 2 , the effect of improving the cohesive peeling property of the end face coating film due to the plating surface shape is saturated, which is not preferable. In the solution containing one or more of V ion and Zr ion and Zn ion, either V ion or Zr ion may be present alone, or both V ion and Zr ion are present. You may be.
[0027]
 The mass ratio of one or more of V and Zr in the plating layer 2 to Zn is the mass ratio of the content of one or more of V and Zr and the content of Zn in terms of metal ((1 of V and Zr). The seed or higher) / Zn) is preferably 0.05 to 0.50. If it is less than 0.05, the scratch resistance is inferior, which is not preferable. If it exceeds 0.50, the adhesion between the plating layer 2 and the steel sheet 1 is inferior, and the end face coating film coagulation peeling property is inferior, which is not preferable.
[0028]
(Coating film)
 The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the coating film 3 formed directly above the plating layer 2 is 25 ° C. or higher and 80 ° C. or lower. Tg is preferably 50 ° C. or higher and 80 ° C. or lower. If the Tg is less than 25 ° C., the cohesive force of the coating film 3 is small, and the sweat resistance and the end face coating film cohesive peeling property are inferior, which is not preferable. If the temperature exceeds 80 ° C., the cohesive force of the coating film 3 is large and the coating film 3 is hard, so that large coating film cracks occur with plating and the corrosion resistance of the processed portion is inferior, which is not preferable.
[0029]
 The Tg of the coating film 3 can be measured using a rigid pendulum tester according to ISO 12013-2: the method for measuring the thermal properties (Tg, hardness) of the coating film.
[0030]
 The coating film 3 is excellent in sweat resistance and end face coating film coagulation peeling property by containing a butylated melamine resin and a binder resin having an OH group. Here, the components of sweat include sodium chloride, lactic acid, amino acids, urea and the like, but here, attention was paid particularly to the resistance to sodium chloride and lactic acid (artificial sweat). By the curing reaction between the butylated melamine resin and the binder resin having an OH group, a cured product of the binder resin having an OH group and the butylated melamine resin is formed in the coating film. The OH group is necessary for the curing reaction of cross-linking the binder resin having an OH group and the butylated melamine resin. Conventionally, it has been considered difficult to achieve both corrosion resistance of a processed portion of a coating film and cross-section coagulation resistance at a high level only by controlling Tg. In the present application, a precoated steel sheet 10 having excellent corrosion resistance at a processed portion and cohesive peeling property at an end surface coating film 10 was obtained by controlling the Tg of the coating film 3 using a butylated melamine resin and a binder resin having an OH group. .. The details of the reason why the excellent corrosion resistance of the processed portion and the cohesive peeling property of the end face coating film were obtained are unknown, but the butylated melamine resin is crosslinked with the OH group and the butylated melamine resin has high self-condensation property. It is considered that this is due to the fact that the cohesive force is increased. As for the sweat resistance of the butylated melamine resin, since the sweat component penetrates into the coating film 3, the compatibility between the melamine resin and the sweat component is also important, and in this respect, butylation is used to improve the sweat resistance. It is considered that the melamine resin was suitable.
[0031]
 Examples of the binder resin having an OH group that can be used for the coating film 3 include a polyester resin having an OH group, an epoxy resin (polypoly-added epoxy resin) reacted with a polyol, and a polyurethane resin (polyurethane-added polyurethane resin). , Olefin resin (polyurethane-added olefin resin), acrylic resin (polyurethane-added acrylic resin) and other resins. The OH group-containing binder resin may be only one type selected from the group of these resins, or may be two or more types. The binder resin having an OH group preferably does not contain a sulfonic acid group. If the binder resin having an OH group contains a sulfonic acid group, the sweat resistance of the coating film 3 becomes unsuitable, which is not preferable.
[0032]
 The hydroxyl value of the binder resin having an OH group is preferably 50 or less. More preferably, it is 30 or less. The lower limit of the hydroxyl value of the binder resin having an OH group is preferably 5 or more. More preferably, it is 7 or more. If the hydroxyl value is more than 50, the corrosion resistance of the processed portion may be lowered, which is not preferable. Further, the Tg of the coating film 3 may exceed 80 ° C., which is not preferable. If the hydroxyl value is less than 5, the reaction with butylated melamine does not proceed sufficiently, which is not preferable. In addition, Tg may be less than 25 ° C, which is not preferable. The unit of hydroxyl value is KOHmg / g.
[0033]
 As the epoxy resin, polyurethane resin, olefin resin, and acrylic resin, generally known resins can be used. As the epoxy resin, "jER (registered trademark)" manufactured by Japan Epoxy Resin Co., Ltd., "EPICLON (registered trademark) series" manufactured by DIC Corporation, or the like can be used. Urethane resins include "Bayerurethane (registered trademark) series" manufactured by Sumika Bayer Urethane, "Cosmonate (registered trademark) series" manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, "Hisel (registered trademark) series" manufactured by Toho Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., and DIC. The "Bondic (registered trademark) series" manufactured by the company can be used. As the olefin resin, "Hi-Tech (registered trademark) series" manufactured by Toho Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. can be used. As the acrylic resin, "Acrydic (registered trademark) series" manufactured by DIC Corporation, "Acryset (registered trademark) series" manufactured by Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd., and the like can be used.
[0034]
 When the binder resin having an OH group used for the coating film 3 is a polyester resin, it is preferable because the corrosion resistance of the processed portion is more excellent. This is because the polyester resin has excellent ductility and workability.
[0035]
 As the polyester resin having an OH group, an alkyd resin, an unsaturated polyester resin, a modified alkyd resin and the like are used. The alkyd resin is a resin in which a condensate of a polybasic acid such as phthalic anhydride and a polyhydric alcohol such as glycerin is used as a skeleton and modified with fatty acid fats and oils. The alkyd resin is classified into a short oil alkyd resin, a medium oil alkyd resin, a long oil alkyd resin and an ultra long oil alkyd resin according to the type and content of the fat and oil used. Unsaturated polyester resins are synthesized by esterifying unsaturated polybasic acids or saturated polybasic acids with glycols. Examples of polybasic acids include phthalic anhydride, isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid and adipic acid, and examples of glycols include propylene glycol. As the modified alkyd resin, a resin modified with a polymerizable monomer such as a natural resin, a phenol resin or styrene can be used. As the polyester resin having an OH group, a generally known polyester resin can be used.
[0036]
 Examples of polyester resins other than the above include commercially available "Byron TM " manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd. (registered trademark of Toyobo Co., Ltd.) and "Desmofen TM " manufactured by Sumika Bayer Urethane Co., Ltd. (registered trademark of Sumika Bayer Urethane Co., Ltd.). Goods can be used.
[0037]
 When the Tg of the binder resin having an OH group used for the coating film 3 is 7 ° C. or higher and 71 ° C. or lower, the sweat resistance of the obtained coating film 3, the end face coating film coagulation peeling property, and the corrosion resistance of the processed portion are more excellent. Suitable. If the temperature is lower than 7 ° C., the cohesive force of the obtained coating film 3 is insufficient, and the sweat resistance and the end face coating film cohesive peeling property are lowered, which is not preferable. If the temperature exceeds 71 ​​° C., large cracks may occur in the processed portion of the coating film 3 and the corrosion resistance of the processed portion may decrease, which is not preferable. The Tg of the coating film 3 can be controlled by reacting the butylated melamine resin in the range of Tg with the binder resin having an OH group at a predetermined temperature and a predetermined amount.
[0038]
 When the Tg of the polyester resin used for the coating film 3 is 7 ° C. or higher and 71 ° C. or lower, the sweat resistance, the end face coating film coagulation peeling property, and the corrosion resistance of the processed portion of the obtained coating film 3 are more excellent, which is preferable. If the temperature is lower than 7 ° C., the cohesive force of the obtained coating film 3 is insufficient, and the sweat resistance and the end face coating film cohesive peeling property are inferior. If the temperature exceeds 71 ​​° C., large cracks are formed in the processed portion of the coating film 3 and the corrosion resistance of the processed portion is inferior. The Tg of the coating film 3 can be controlled by reacting the butylated melamine resin in the range of Tg with the polyester resin at a predetermined temperature and a predetermined amount.
[0039]
 The proportion of the binder resin having an OH group in the coating film 3 is preferably 50% by mass or more and 95% by mass or less with respect to the total resin constituting the coating film 3. When the binder resin having an OH group is 50% by mass or more, the reaction between the binder resin having an OH group and the butylated melamine resin proceeds, and the coating film 3 is hard to peel off, which is preferable. Further, it is preferable that the binder resin having an OH group is 50% by mass or more because the Tg of the coating film 3 can be adjusted to 25 ° C. or more. By setting the proportion of the binder resin having an OH group to 95% by mass or less, the corrosion resistance of the processed portion is improved. Further, by setting the proportion of the binder resin having an OH group to 95% by mass or less, the Tg of the coating film 3 can be adjusted to 80 ° C. or less.
[0040]
 The proportion of the polyester resin having an OH group in the coating film 3 is preferably 50% by mass or more and 95% by mass or less with respect to the total resin constituting the coating film 3.
[0041]
 As the butylated melamine resin that can be used for the coating film 3, one or more of the structural units R1 to R6 represented by the following formula (1) are −CH 2 OC 3 H 7 . In the formula, R, which is not -CH 2 OC 3 H 7 , can be a group selected from H, CH 2 OH, and CH 2 OCH 3 . As the butylated melamine resin, a commercially available butylated melamine resin or the like can be used. Since the butylated melamine resin is usually insoluble in water, it is used as a coating material using an organic solvent as a solvent.
[0042]
[Chemical 2]

[0043]
 The butylated melamine resin in the coating film 3 is preferably 5% by mass or more and 50% by mass or less with respect to the total resin constituting the coating film 3. When the butylated melamine resin is 5% by mass or more, the reaction between the butylated melamine resin and the binder resin having an OH group proceeds, the coating film 3 is less likely to be peeled off, and the corrosion resistance of the processed portion is improved, which is preferable. It is preferable that the amount of the butylated melamine resin is 50% by mass or less because the corrosion resistance of the processed portion is improved.
[0044]
 The coating film 3 of the present invention may further contain a methylated melamine resin. It is more preferable to use the methylated melamine resin in combination with the butylated melamine resin because the solvent resistance is excellent. Here, in the methylated melamine resin, one or more of the structural units R1 to R6 represented by the following formula (2) are −CH 2 OCH 3 . In the formula, R other than -CH 2 OCH 3 can be a group selected from H and CH 2 OH.
[0045]
[Chemical 3]

[0046]
 Carbon black may be contained in the coating film 3 in an amount of 1% by mass to 20% by mass based on the total solid content of the coating film 3. Carbon black is preferable because the design of the coating film is better when it contains carbon black than when it does not contain carbon black.
[0047]
 The carbon black that can be used is not particularly limited, and for example, known carbon blacks such as furnace black, ketjen black, acetylene black, and channel black can be used. Further, known carbon black treated with ozone treatment, plasma treatment, and liquid phase oxidation can also be used.
[0048]
 A silane coupling agent may be contained in the paint used for producing the coating film 3. When a silane coupling agent is added, the siloxane oligomer generated by the decomposition of the silane coupling agent improves the adhesion between the plating layer 2 and the coating film 3, which is preferable. The siloxane oligomer generated by the decomposition reacts with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the plating layer 2 and the resin in the coating film 3. That is, an adduct of a silane coupling agent, which is a reaction product of the siloxane oligomer and the hydroxyl group on the surface of the plating layer 2 and the resin in the coating film 3, is formed. The amount of the silane coupling agent in the coating material is preferably 1% by mass to 20% by mass based on the mass of the coating material.
[0049]
 As the silane coupling agent, a general silane coupling agent can be used. Examples of the silane coupling agent include γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-aminopropylethoxysilane, N- [2- (vinylbenzylamino) ethyl] -3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 2- (3, 4-Epoxycyclohexyl) ethyltrimethoxysilane, N-β (aminoethyl) γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, N-β- (aminoethyl) -γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, N-β- (aminoethyl) -Γ-Aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, N-phenyl-γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-mercabutpropyltrimethoxysilane, γ- (2-aminoethyl) aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, γ- (2-amino Ethyl) Aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, γ- (2-aminoethyl) aminopropyltriethoxysilane, γ- (2-aminoethyl) aminopropylmethyldiethoxysilane, γ- (2-aminoethyl) aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane , Γ-Methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-methacryloxypropylmethyldimethoxysilane, γ-methacryloxypropyltriethoxysilane, γ-methacryloxypropylmethyldiethoxysilane, N-β- (N-vinylbenzylaminoethyl) -Γ-Aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, N-β- (N-vinylbenzylaminoethyl) -γ-aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, N-β- (N-vinylbenzylaminoethyl) -γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane , N-β- (N-vinylbenzylaminoethyl) -γ-aminopropylmethyldiethoxysilane, γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-glycidoxypropylmethyldimethoxysilane, γ-glycidoxypropyltri Ethoxysilane, γ-glycidoxypropylmethyldiethoxysilane, γ-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-mercaptopropylmethyldimethoxysila
[0050]
 The film thickness of the coating film 3 is preferably more than 5 μm and 20 μm or less, and this range is suitable because the coating film 3 is excellent in sweat resistance and end face coating film coagulation peeling property. If it is 5 μm or less, the barrier property becomes small and the sweat resistance is inferior, which is not preferable. Further, if it exceeds 20 μm, the internal stress becomes large, the adhesion to the plating layer 2 is inferior, and the end face coating film coagulation peeling property is inferior, which is not preferable. The film thickness of the coating film 3 can be obtained by observing the cross section at 2000 times with an electron microscope and dividing the area of ​​the coating film portion by the length of the coating film in the longitudinal direction. The area of ​​the coating film portion can be obtained by analyzing the image obtained by observing the cross section with commercially available image analysis software.
[0051]
 The coating film 3 may further contain an epoxy resin in addition to the binder resin having an OH group. It is suitable because the epoxy group is bonded to the surface of the plating layer 2 by using the epoxy resin, so that the sweat resistance and the adhesion are more excellent.
[0052]
 As the epoxy resin, a known epoxy resin can be used. For example, bisphenol A type epoxy resin, bisphenol F type epoxy resin, novolak type epoxy resin and the like can be mentioned.
[0053]
 The coating film 3 may contain a rust preventive pigment. As the rust preventive pigment, a known pigment generally applied to zinc-based plating can be used. For example, phosphorus-based, silica-based, vanadium-based and the like can be mentioned.
[0054]
 Using the precoated steel sheet 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the Zn concentration and the carbon (C) concentration are measured by using the glow discharge emission analysis method (GDS) in the measurement range starting from the surface of the coating film 3 and ending at the steel plate 1. Then, starting from the depth position A where the Zn concentration is the maximum value in the above-mentioned measurement range, the Zn concentration is 5% of the maximum value, and the depth is located closer to the steel plate side than the depth position A. In the range with position B as the end point, the C concentration is always 1 atomic% or more (in the elements that can be detected by GDS (C, Fe, H, N, Na, Ni, O, P, S, Si, Ti, V, Zn). The ratio of the C concentration to the Zn concentration at the depth position A is 8% or more.
 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the concentration distributions of V, Zn and C in the depth direction obtained by measuring the precoated steel sheet 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention by the glow discharge emission method. The horizontal axis shows the depth from the surface of the coating film 3, and the vertical axis shows the change in the concentration of each element. As shown in FIG. 2, the precoated steel sheet 10 always has a C concentration of 1 atomic% or more in the range where the depth position A is the starting point and the depth position B is the ending point, and the C concentration with respect to the Zn concentration at the depth position A is Satisfy the relationship that the concentration ratio is 8% or more. Satisfying this relationship indicates that the binder resin having an OH group and the melamine resin have entered the plating layer 2 without voids. When the binder resin having an OH group and the melamine resin penetrate into the plating layer 2, a sufficient anchoring effect is obtained, and the adhesion between the coating film 3 and the plating layer 2 is greatly improved.
[0055]
 (Film formation method) The
 coating method used for producing the coating film 3 is, for example, a well-known method such as a bar coater method, a roll coating method, a ringer roll coating method, an air spray method, an airless spray method, and a dipping method. Is available. After the plating layer 2 is formed, washed and dried, the paint is applied. It is preferable to apply the paint within 120 seconds after the plating layer 2 is dried. Generally, when the plating layer 2 is not applied immediately after drying, it is often applied after being oiled and stored for rust prevention and degreased. However, when degreasing, the surface activity is lower than immediately after the formation of the plating layer 2, and the resin of the coating film 3 may not easily enter the plating layer 2. Further, even if 120 seconds have passed after the plating layer 2 is dried, the surface activity is low and the resin of the coating film 3 may not easily enter the plating layer 2. If the time from forming the plating layer 2 to drying and applying the paint is 120 seconds or less, the adhesion between the plating layer 2 and the coating film 3 is excellent, so that the coating film between the plating layer 2 and the coating film 3 is coated. It is possible to suppress the interfacial peeling of 3. In particular, when the end face of the precoated steel sheet 10 is squeezed, the interface peeling between the coating film 3 and the plating layer 2 may occur instead of the coating film peeling due to cohesive fracture, which can be suppressed.
[0056]
 The dynamic surface tension of the paint is adjusted to 15 mN / m or more and 30 mN / m or less. When the dynamic surface tension of the paint is less than 15 mN / m and more than 30 mN / m, the paint cannot penetrate into the unevenness of the plating layer 2, which is not preferable.
[0057]
 It is preferable to use a surfactant (including a defoaming agent and a leveling agent) for adjusting the dynamic surface tension of the paint. Known surfactants can be used as the surfactants, and commercially available surfactants include BYK-333 and BYK-307 from BYK, Ermagen from Kao, and Surfinol from Nissin Chemicals. However, there are many others, and they can be added as appropriate depending on the paint used. Further, an adjustment method other than using a surfactant such as dilution or mixing with another solvent may be used.
[0058]
 The method for drying the paint used to produce the coating film 3 is not particularly limited, and hot air, induction heating, near infrared rays, direct flame, and the like can be used alone or in combination.
[0059]
 The paint is cured by heating, and those skilled in the art can adjust the Tg by appropriately controlling the heating temperature and the holding time. The paint is heated at a heating temperature (reaching plate temperature) of 150 ° C. or higher and 250 ° C. or lower. If it is less than 150 ° C., the coating film is insufficiently cured and the solvent resistance is inferior, and if it is more than 250 ° C., the coating film is decomposed and the solvent resistance is inferior. The holding time is 8 seconds to 120 seconds. The holding time is the time for holding the heating after reaching the set temperature. If the holding time exceeds 120 seconds, the Tg of the coating film 3 may exceed 80 ° C., which is not preferable. If the holding time is less than 8 seconds, the Tg of the coating film 3 may be less than 25 ° C., which is not preferable.
