Cold rolled steel sheet for zirconium-based chemical conversion treatment, method for producing same, zirconium-based chemical conversion-treated steel sheet, and method for producing same

Abstract

Provided is a low-cost cold rolled steel sheet for zirconium-based chemical conversion treatment that contains Si and Mn and has excellent zirconium-based chemical convertibility even when a relatively large amount of Si-based oxide and Si—Mn-based oxide exists on the steel sheet surface. A cold rolled steel sheet for zirconium-based chemical conversion treatment comprises a chemical composition containing, in mass %, C: 0.05% to 0.30%, Si: 0.01% to 1.4%, Mn: 0.14% to 3.2%, P: 0.10% or less, and S: 0.01% or less, with a balance consisting of Fe and inevitable impurities, wherein a Si/Mn mass ratio in steel is 0.10 to 0.7, and a surface coating ratio of steel sheet surface layer oxides having Si content of 10 mass % or more is 40% or less.
