2. Description of the Related Art A battery case used for alkaline manganese batteries and nickel cadmium batteries for enclosing a strong alkaline solution is a method in which a nickel-plated steel strip is pressed into a battery case instead of a barrel plating method after press working. Processing methods have become mainstream. The reason why nickel-plated steel strips are used for battery cases such as alkaline manganese batteries and nickel-cadmium batteries is that these batteries mainly use strong alkaline potassium hydroxide as an electrolyte, and therefore, nickel plating is used to prevent nickel corrosion. Strong steel strip, stable contact resistance when connecting battery case to external terminals, spot welding is performed when welding each component at the time of battery manufacture and assembling into battery. Is also superior.

As described above, nickel-plated steel strips have been widely used for batteries. However, for the purpose of further improving corrosion resistance and plating adhesion, heat diffusion treatment is performed after nickel plating. Has also been adopted. By performing heat treatment after nickel plating, the following characteristics can be improved. (1) Corrosion resistance, especially the corrosion resistance of the formed part (2) Improvement of plating adhesion (3) Improvement of spot weldability If mention is made of the relationship between these characteristics and heat treatment, the corrosion resistance can be improved by the nickel plating layer by heat treatment. Is softened, the nickel plating layer can follow the plastic deformation of the processed portion, and the generation of cracks in the plating layer is suppressed. The improvement in plating adhesion is due to the fact that an iron-nickel diffusion layer is formed at the interface between the steel substrate and the nickel plating layer by heat treatment, and the steel substrate and the nickel plating layer are strongly metallurgically bonded at the interface.
Regarding the third improvement of spot weldability, the formation of an iron-nickel diffusion layer increases the electric resistance, increases the heat generated during spot welding, and facilitates the formation of a welding nugget. It is caused by becoming larger. As described above, there are many advantages of the heat treatment after the nickel plating of the nickel-plated steel strip.

On the other hand, as a problem, as described above, as a result of softening of the nickel plating layer, scratch resistance is impaired. The impairment of the flaw resistance as a material for a battery case means that the nickel plating layer is damaged during transportation and handling or during the battery manufacturing process, which not only deteriorates the appearance but also significantly impairs the corrosion resistance. For this reason, the heat diffusion treatment material needs to be improved in scratch resistance. As a method of improving the scratch resistance, the present applicant has previously proposed "Scratch-resistant Ni-plated steel sheet and a method for producing the same" (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-129395). However, it is difficult to control the phosphorus content of the nickel-phosphorus alloy plating, and further, the spot welding strength of the battery case is reduced.
This deterioration in spot weldability is caused by the fact that the nickel-phosphorus plating layer, which has a low melting point, melts at the contact portion with the welding tip when the temperature rises during welding, and the welding additional current density decreases, which hinders the formation of a sufficient welding nugget. It is caused by

Another problem with the heat diffusion treatment material is that the battery performance (particularly, the internal resistance) of the alkaline manganese battery is slightly higher than that of the material not subjected to the heat diffusion treatment. The reason for this high internal resistance is that the heat diffusion treatment improves the extensibility of the nickel plating layer and reduces the number of cracks generated on the inner surface of the battery case during press forming, so that the adhesion with the positive electrode mixture is slightly reduced. That is the cause.

Nickel Plating The nickel plating bath may be any nickel plating bath that can be industrially produced, such as a watt bath, a sulfamic acid bath, a borofluoride bath, or a chloride bath. As a pretreatment for nickel plating, usual alkali degreasing, organic solvent degreasing, pickling (immersion in a sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid solution or electrolysis), and then water washing are performed. The types of nickel plating include matte plating without addition of organic substances, semi-gloss plating containing an organic additive called a leveling agent that smoothes the nickel plating deposition surface such as butynediol, and sulfur-containing substances such as naphthalene sulfonate. There is a bright plating exhibiting a mirror gloss containing an organic additive, and in the present invention, a matte or semi-glossy plating is preferably used. The reason why bright plating is unsuitable is that the sulfur-containing additive may be mixed or adsorbed into the nickel plating layer during electrolytic deposition, causing embrittlement of the nickel plating layer in a heat treatment after nickel plating described below, which may impair corrosion resistance. Because.

In the present invention, however, the tin plating layer is oxidized. No chemical treatment (immersion in a chromic acid or dichromate solution or electrolytic treatment) for preventing yellowing and improving the adhesion of the coating due to the above. The reason is that the chromium element increases the electric contact resistance and is not preferable in battery performance. The tin plating solution may be any of an acidic bath and an alkali bath which are usually used industrially, and a stannous sulfate bath or a phenolsulfonic acid bath is preferably used.

Heat Treatment In the present invention, after the nickel plating, one side or both sides are subjected to the tin plating and then heat treated. The reasons for performing the heat treatment are as follows: (1) A part of the nickel plating layer formed on the steel substrate is diffused into the steel sheet, and a part of the nickel plating layer is formed into a tough nickel plating layer. Alternatively, the entire nickel plating layer is an iron-nickel diffusion layer. (2) The tin plating layer formed on the nickel plating layer is changed to a tin-nickel alloy layer. In the present invention, the two objects (1) and (2) are simultaneously obtained by heat treatment, and the production can be performed more economically. The above (1) is practically a heat treatment temperature of 450 ° C.
In this, an iron-nickel diffusion layer is formed. Even at 450 ° C. or lower, a diffusion layer is formed by a long-time heat treatment, but its thickness is minute. Further, at a heat treatment temperature of 450 ° C. or more, the resinous precipitation structure in the nickel plating layer is recrystallized, and the plating distortion (tensile stress) of the nickel plating layer is released and the nickel plating layer is softened. At the same time, nickel and iron begin to diffuse into each other at the interface with the steel substrate. The thickness of the diffusion layer is determined by the temperature and time of the heat treatment. When the temperature is high, the processing time is long, and the nickel plating thickness is small, the entire nickel plating layer becomes an iron-nickel diffusion layer.

If the amount of adhesion is less than 0.2 μm, the thickness of the formed iron-nickel diffusion layer is too small to ensure sufficient plating adhesion. On the other hand, the treatment exceeding 6 μm saturates the effect of the present invention, This is because the diffusion process requires a high temperature or a long time, is uneconomical, and loses price competitiveness of the product. In this heat treatment, at the same time as the formation of the iron-nickel diffusion layer, the tin plating layer formed on the nickel plating layer becomes a tin-nickel alloy layer. The tin-nickel alloy layer is formed at a relatively low temperature (about 180 ° C.). As the intermetallic compound generated by this alloying, N
There are i3Sn, Ni3Sn2, and Ni3Sn4, the presence of which can be confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis.
Due to the formation of these intermetallic compounds, the tin-nickel alloy layer has extremely excellent properties as a battery material, such as being hard, having alkali corrosion resistance, and having low and stable electric contact resistance.

The present inventors have confirmed by the following experiments that the tin-nickel alloy layer formed by the heat treatment is extremely suitable as a battery case. That is, the plate thickness is 0.
A sample A was prepared by applying a 2 μm-thick nickel plating to a 25-mm cold-rolled steel sheet and heat-treating it at 400 ° C. for 1 hour in a non-oxidizing gas atmosphere.
Sample B, which was subjected to a tin plating of 1 g / m 2 and then heat-treated, was prepared. As a result of measuring the surface hardness (Vickers hardness, load 10 g) of Sample A and Sample B, Sample A showed a value of 195, while Sample B, which had been tin-nickel alloyed, had a value of 80.
5 and remarkably hardened. Further, the samples A and B were deep drawn into a bottomed cylindrical case (battery case) having an outer diameter of 13 mm and a height of 49 mm, and the inner surface at a position about half the height of the case was observed with an electron microscope. Sample A has a smooth surface, whereas Sample B, which is hardened by a tin-nickel alloy, has many microcracks. It is considered that as a result of the positive electrode mixture of the alkaline battery entering the microcrack, the adhesion to the inner surface of the battery case is improved, and the internal resistance of the battery is reduced. From this result, Sample B is suitable as a battery case material.

[Table 1] Further, a standard type JIS-LR6 type (AA type) positive electrode can (battery case) used in a cylindrical alkaline battery was prepared using the samples of the above-described Examples and Comparative Examples. Also,
A battery was made using the case. First, a blank was prepared by punching a surface-treated steel sheet into a disc shape, and a deep-drawing forming method was used to form a bottomed cylindrical battery case (LR6 type) having a case length of 49.3 mm and a case outer diameter of 13.8 mm in 10 steps. It was created. Next, electrolytic manganese dioxide and graphite were charged into a kneader, and mixed while adding potassium hydroxide to prepare a positive electrode mixture. Next, the positive electrode mixture was inserted into the LR6 type battery case prepared by the deep drawing process.
Next, after inserting a separator made of a vinylon-based nonwoven fabric into the battery case, a predetermined amount of potassium hydroxide was dropped. A predetermined amount of a gelled negative electrode mixture comprising granular zinc, a potassium hydroxide solution and a thickener was injected into the bottomed cylinder of the separator set as described above. Further, the opening of the battery case was closed with a negative electrode terminal to which a brass rod was welded, thereby producing an alkaline battery. Upon closing, an insulating gasket made of polyamide resin was attached. An evaluation test was performed on the surface-treated steel sheet and the battery prepared as described above by the following method.

(Evaluation Test Method) (1) Measurement of Hardness The hardness of the plating surface layer was measured with a micro Vickers hardness meter under a load of 10 g. With the number of measurements taken as 3, the average value was taken as hardness. (2) Evaluation of scratch resistance The evaluation of the scratch resistance of the plating surface layer was performed using a scratch strength tester (HEIDON-14S / D manufactured by Shinto Kagaku Co., Ltd.) and the sample was sapphire under a constant load. I was scratched. At that time, the state of scratches on the surface of the sample was observed, and evaluation was made based on a load (g) at which scratches were observed. The number of measurements was set to 3, and the lightest load at which flaws were observed was adopted. (3) Battery Performance Evaluation The battery performance of the prepared alkaline battery LR6 was evaluated as follows. That is, it was stored in a thermostat at 60 ° C. for one month, and the internal resistance value (mΩ) and the short-circuit current (resistance 1 mΩ) were measured by the AC impedance method (frequency 1 kHz).
For the evaluation, an average value was adopted by measuring 10 samples in both tests. Table 2 shows the results of the evaluation.

[Table 2] In Table 2, all of the samples according to the examples of the present invention showed superior results in hardness, scratch resistance, and battery performance as compared with the comparative example. The reason why the internal resistance of the battery is reduced is that micro-cracks are generated in the hard tin-nickel alloy layer at the time of forming the battery case, so that the adhesion to the positive electrode mixture increases and the contact resistance decreases.
