Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for treating a steel band or steel plate provided with a metal coating with an after-treatment agent, which contains at least one polyalkylene glycol and is applied as a liquid solution to the surface of the metal coating. According to the invention, in order to achieve improved wetting and adhesion of the covering and at the same time the lowest possible coefficient of friction of the coated surface and in order to ensure good workability of the coated steel band or plate, the after-treatment agent contains a fluorescent antioxidant in addition to the polyalkylene glycol. The invention further relates to a steel band or steel plate provided with a metal coating, particularly a tin plate, which, on the surface of the metal coating, has a thin coat of an after-treatment agent which contains polyalkylene glycol and a fluorescent antioxidant.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing packaging steel consisting of a cold-rolled steel sheet made of unalloyed or low-alloy steel having a carbon content of less than 0.1%. In order to provide high-strength packaging steel that has good formability and high corrosion resistance and can be produced in as energy-saving a manner as possible, the steel sheet according to the invention is first coated with a metallic coating and then annealed in a recrystallising manner at a heating rate of more than 75 K/s and preferably more than 100 K/s to temperatures of more than 700° C., such that the metallic coating melts. The coated and annealed steel sheet is then quenched to normal temperature at a cooling rate of at least 100 K/s.

A packaging sheet metal product from a cold-rolled steel sheet with a thickness of less than 0.6 mm has a specified composition. The packaging sheet metal product during biaxial deformation in a bulge test has a lower yield strength (SbeL) of more than 300 MPa and a corresponding elongation at break (Ab) of more than 10 % and in the plastic region between the Lüders elongation (Abe) and an upper (plastic) elongation limit of εmax=0.5·Ab(SbeL/Sbm) has a biaxial stress/strain diagram σB(ε) that can be represented by a function εmax=b·εn, with: σB is the true biaxial stress in MPa; ε is the amount of true elongation in the thickness direction in %; Sbm is the absolute strength; b is a proportionality factor; and n is a strain-hardening exponent. A strengthening of the packaging sheet product in the thickness direction is characterized by a strain-hardening exponent of n≥0.353−5.1·SbeL/104 MPa.
Abstract:
A nitrided packaging steel in the form of a flat steel product and method for producing a nitrided packaging steel with a carbon content of 10-1000 ppm and uncombined nitrogen, dissolved in the steel, of more than 100 ppm. The nitriding is performed in two stages: a first stage, in which a molten steel is nitrided to a nitrogen content of at most 160 ppm by introducing a nitrogen-containing gas and/or a nitrogen-containing solid into the molten steel, and a second stage, in which a flat steel product produced from the nitrided molten steel by cold rolling is treated with a nitrogen-containing gas in order to increase further the amount of uncombined nitrogen in the flat steel product.
Abstract:
A method of producing a metal strip coated with a coating, said coating containing chromium metal and chromium oxide and being electrolytically deposited from an electrolyte solution that contains a trivalent chromium compound and at least one salt for increasing conductivity and at least one acid or one base for setting a desired pH value, onto the metal strip by bringing the metal strip into electrolytically effective contact with the electrolyte solution during an electrolysis time. The metal strip is successively passed at a predefined strip travel speed in a strip travel direction through a plurality of electrolysis tanks successively arranged in the strip travel direction. At least the first electrolysis tank, as viewed in the strip travel direction, or a front group of electrolysis tanks is filled with a first electrolyte solution and the last electrolysis tank, as viewed in the strip travel direction, or a rear group of electrolysis tanks is filled with a second electrolyte solution. The second electrolyte solution contains no additional components apart from the trivalent chromium compound as well as the at least one salt and the at least one acid or base and is especially free of organic complexing agents and free of buffering agents.
