Abstract
A method for manufacturing an electrogalvanized steel sheet excellent in spot weldability, which comprises the steps of: adding, into an acidic electrogalvanizing solution containing an oxidizer, a complexing agent, which is capable of forming a stable complex with zinc, in an amount within a range of from 0.001 to 10 moles per liter of the electrogalvanizing solution, or a pH buffer, which has a pH buffering effect in a solution having a pH value within a range of from 5 to 12, in an amount within a range of from 1 to 50 g per liter of the electrogalvanizing solution; and electrogalvanizing a steel sheet in the resultant acidic electrogalvanizing solution containing the complexing agent or the pH buffer in addition to the oxidizer, to form a galvanizing layer comprising zinc oxide or zinc hydroxide on the surface of the steel sheet.
