A steel material that has on its surface a non-hexavalent-chromium type
corrosion-resistant coating film formed by a composite of a metal layer
and a resin layer. The steel material having or not having a copper layer
is formed with 1) a Zn and/or Zn-based alloy layer, 2) a Zn/Ni alloy
layer which is on this Zn and/or Zn-based alloy layer, 3) a de-Zn layer
which is on the Zn/Ni alloy layer and is obtained by chemically treating
the surface of the Zn/Ni alloy layer, and 4) at least one resin covering
layer which is on this de-Zn layer, which are successively formed to make
a corrosion-resistant coating film, the corrosion-resistant coating film,
which is superior in adhesion between the metal layer and resin layer,
being obtained by way of taking into account the use of a trivalent
chromium type chromate layer instead of a hexavalent chromium type
chromate layer (which is a substance that places a burden on the
environment).
