However, these deposit products are removed within a short time when the steel sheet is sent to the electroplating tank, and this time is the time for electroplating the steel sheet. Since it was sufficiently smaller than the residence time in the tank, it was not a problem until now.

The present inventors have conducted various studies on vertical electrolytic baths, radial electrolytic cells, and horizontal electrolytic cells in order to shorten the plating section and increase the line speed in the electric tin plating line. As a result, in the case of a plating tank in which the plating is started immediately after the steel plate is immersed in the plating solution, such as the first downpass or radial type cell of the vertical plating tank, the horizontal type cell, the following problems occur. I understood it. 1. As the line speed increases, the electrolysis efficiency in the first electrolysis pass decreases. 2. This decrease in electrolysis efficiency is irregular, and it is difficult to control the amount of plating adhered. 3. When the electrolysis distance is shortened with a thin plated material, poor appearance due to uneven coating amount and deterioration of corrosion resistance due to the unplated portion occur.

Since the main cause of these problems is the deposit products on the surface of the steel sheet, for the purpose of securing a sufficient section for removing the deposit products in the electroplating bath, for example, the amount of tin deposits 2.8 g / m 2 at a line speed of 200 to 600 m / min. In a production line using a vertical cell of # 25 tin plate, electrolysis is not performed in the first electroplating tank down pass, Attempts have been made to initiate electrolysis. However, in this case, the down-pass section that does not perform electrolysis merely functions as a plating solution storage tank, does not function as the original electroplating tank, and runs counter to the shortening of the plating section. . Furthermore, when the line speed is increased and the plating section is shortened to reduce the amount of the plating solution used, the plating solution is rapidly deteriorated by the solution adhering to the steel sheet in the pretreatment process.

Further, in the present invention, in the above method for producing an electrotin-plated steel sheet, the step of immersing the steel sheet in a plating solution comprises:
It is a method for producing an electrotin-plated steel sheet, which is a step performed while irradiating ultrasonic waves. By performing the immersion of the steel sheet under ultrasonic irradiation, the required immersion time can be shortened to 1/2 to 1/10 of the case of not applying ultrasonic waves. The range of 1 to 50 kHz is particularly suitable as the frequency of the ultrasonic waves to be irradiated. Ultrasonic frequency is 1
In the case of less than kHz, in order to obtain a sufficient effect, the same immersion time as in the case of not applying ultrasonic waves is required. Further, when the frequency of ultrasonic waves exceeds 50 kHz, the impedance at the time of ultrasonic wave irradiation becomes high, and it becomes difficult to secure the necessary ultrasonic wave intensity. By irradiating ultrasonic waves with a frequency in this range, the required immersion time can be greatly shortened to ⅕ to 1/10 as compared with the case where ultrasonic waves are not radiated.

First, the steel sheet is electrolytically degreased in the degreasing tank 1. Next, after being washed with water in the washing tank 2, it is sent to the pickling tank 3 and subjected to pickling treatment. Subsequently, after being washed with water in the water washing tank 4, it is sent to the dipping tank 5 where it is immersed in the plating solution, so that the adhered products produced and adhered to the surface of the steel sheet by the treatments so far are removed. At this time, by irradiating the steel sheet with ultrasonic waves using the ultrasonic wave transmitter 13 installed on the outer surface of the bottom of the dipping tank, the adhered products can be removed more quickly and effectively. The position of mounting the ultrasonic transmitter is not limited to the outer surface of the bottom of the immersion tank, and any position such as the inner surface of the immersion tank, the outer surface, the upper portion or the bottom may be used as long as it can effectively irradiate the steel sheet with ultrasonic waves. Also, it may be installed at a plurality of positions. The steel sheet that has been subjected to the immersion treatment is subsequently sent to a plating tank 6, where a predetermined amount of tin is electroplated, and then a product is subjected to a necessary post-treatment process.

After washing with water and squeezing a roll, the plate was immersed in a dipping bath containing a plating solution, and then continuously electroplated with tin in the plating bath. In this experimental example, the immersion time of the steel sheet was adjusted by changing the depth of the plating solution in the immersion tank according to the line speed, or by using two synchronizers installed at the bottom of the immersion tank. The measurement was performed by changing the interval or by using these in combination.

The conditions for electrotin plating are as follows. Plating solution: ferrostane Temperature: 45 ° C. Electrolytic current density: 30 A / dm 2 Without irradiating ultrasonic waves, the line speed is in the range of 12 to 210 m / min, and the immersion time of the steel sheet in the immersion tank is 0.6 to 1
The plating was carried out by changing the range of 5 seconds, and the electrolysis efficiency of the plated steel sheet, the unevenness of the amount of plating adhered on the surface of the steel sheet, and the deterioration of the plating bath were examined, and the results are shown in Examples 1 to 4 of Table 1.

It is understood that the immersion time before plating should be 0.6 seconds or more. Further, in each of the examples, since the immersion bath was installed independently of the plating bath, deterioration of the plating bath was not observed.

Next, the line speed was set to 210 m / min, plating was performed while irradiating ultrasonic waves in the dipping tank while changing the dipping time of the steel plate within the range of 0.06 seconds to 0.4 seconds. The results of examining the electrolytic efficiency of the steel sheet of No. 3, the unevenness of the amount of plating deposited on the steel sheet surface, and the deterioration of the plating bath are shown in Examples 1 to 10 of Table 1. Comparing Example 3 with Example 7, it can be seen that when the ultrasonic wave of 20 kHz is applied, the required immersion time is 1/10 of that when the ultrasonic wave is not applied. In this way, by performing the immersion of the steel sheet in the plating solution under ultrasonic irradiation, good electrolysis efficiency and no uneven coating amount, appearance, and immersion time before plating required to obtain a steel sheet with excellent corrosion resistance It can be seen that can be greatly shortened. Also, in Examples 5 to 10, no deterioration of the plating bath was observed.

Comparative Examples 1 to 10 Next, the effect of the present invention will be clarified by the results of comparative tests. As shown in FIG. 4, the steel plate which left the washing bath 4 after the pickling bath 3 did not use the dipping bath in the electroplating line used in the tests of Examples 1 to 10 An electroplating line that is directly fed into the plating tank 6 without undergoing the dipping treatment is used, and the line speed is 12 to 2
Comparative examples 1 to 6 of Table 2 show the results of examining the electrolytic efficiency of the plated steel sheet, the unevenness of the amount of coating on the surface of the steel sheet, and the deterioration of the plating bath after plating was performed while changing the rate in the range of 10 m / min. Show. The measurement method and evaluation method of each item in the table are the same as those in Table 1. Further, in FIG. 4, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1 indicate the same configurations.

In any of the examples, the electrolysis efficiency was poor,
Uneven coating amount and deterioration of the plating bath were observed.
Also, the stabilization time decreases as the line speed increases,
At a speed of 60 m / min or more, it showed a constant value of about 0.1 seconds. This indicates that a plating solution immersion time of about 0.1 seconds is required before plating in order to obtain 100% electrolytic efficiency.

In Comparative Example 7 to Comparative Example 10 in Table 2, the electrodes were not energized in the first pass of the plating tank in the electroplating line used in the tests of Comparative Examples 1 to 6, and the second pass was used. This is the result when electricity is applied and plating is performed. By performing the function of the pre-plating dipping bath in the method of the present invention in the first pass of the plating bath, good electrolysis efficiency was obtained in all the examples, and no uneven coating amount was observed. However, since the dipping bath and the plating bath were not separated, deterioration of the plating bath was observed in any of the examples.

According to the method of the present invention, by providing a bath for immersing the steel sheet in the plating solution, which is separated from the plating bath immediately before the plating bath (for example, when the line speed is 600 m / min, the dipping time is Is set to 0.6 seconds, a pre-plating dipping bath with a dipping length of 6 m is installed), the plating bath can be effectively used from the first pass, and 100% electrolysis efficiency can be obtained even during high-speed operation, It is possible to control the amount of plating applied with high accuracy. Further, since there is no unevenness in the coating amount, it is possible to manufacture a plated steel sheet having a good appearance and excellent corrosion resistance. Further, deterioration of the plating solution is suppressed, and stable operation is possible for a long period of time. The method of the present invention becomes even more effective by immersing the steel sheet in the plating solution under ultrasonic irradiation, and the length of the dipping tank before plating can be greatly shortened.
