On a surface of a galvanized steel sheet having a metallic zinc layer with a coating weight of 5 g/m.sup.2 or more, a film is formed that contains 10 mass % or more of a polyolefin wax having a melting point of 120 C. or above and 140 C. or below and an average particle size of 3.0 m or less, and at least one organic resin selected from acrylic resins, epoxy resins, urethane resins, phenolic resins, vinyl acetate resins, and polyester resins, in such a way that the coating weight W (g/m.sup.2) of the film per side and the arithmetic average roughness Ra (m) of the surface of the metallic zinc layer satisfy a relationship of W0.12Ra.sup.2+0.1.

A water-based lubricating coating agent includes a water-soluble silicate (A) and at least one water-soluble inorganic salt (B) selected from a tungstate, a phosphate and a borate, wherein the water-soluble silicate (A) and the at least one water-soluble inorganic salt (B) are blended such that a solid content mass ratio (B)/(A) falls within a range of 0.7 to 25.

A grease composition for constant velocity joints which comprises the following components: (a) a base oil, (b) a thickener, (c) a montan wax, (d) a zinc sulfonate, and (e) a sulfurized molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamate.

An object is to provide a lubrication treatment method of a metal wire rod, in which not a combination of acid washing/alkaline degreasing and phosphate/soap treatment each causing a large burden on the environment, but shot blast and a coat-type treatment agent are used to allow for a significant reduction in burden on the environment, and a batch manner is applied to allow for practical production efficiency and uniformly form a lubrication coating on a metal wire rod. The object is achieved by a lubrication treatment method of a metal wire rod, which is a method for lubrication treatment of a coiled metal wire rod in a batch manner, including a descaling step of performing shot blast treatment of a coiled metal wire rod, and a lubrication coating formation step of applying a lubricant to the metal wire rod after the descaling step, in which the coiled metal wire rod satisfies L/(dN)1.1 in the descaling step under the assumption that the coil width is L, the wire diameter of the metal wire rod is d, and the number of coil turns is N, and the lubricant contains one or more coating base components (A) selected from the group consisting of an inorganic salt and an organic acid salt, and a lubrication component (B).

Provided is a coated steel sheet having excellent press formability. The coated steel sheet includes a film containing defined organic resin and wax. The film has an area fraction of wax-deficient portions relative to the film as a whole of 20.0% or less, an average area of wax-deficient portions of 50.0 m.sup.2 or less, and a coating weight per side of 0.3 g/m.sup.2 or more.

A grease composition includes a urea-based thickener; a synthetic hydrocarbon oil and/or a mineral oil as a base oil, a kinematic viscosity of the base oil at 100 C. being 4 to 40 mm.sup.2/s; and 1 to 10% by mass of a montan wax, 1 to 5% by mass of a molybdenum-based extreme pressure agent, and 1 to 5% by mass of a sulfonate-based compound as additives, and the grease composition has a consistency of 310 to 430. The grease composition is for use in lubrication between a metal member and a metal member and lubrication between a metal member and a resin member.
