A surface-treated copper foil includes a bulk copper foil and a first surface treatment layer. The first surface treatment layer is disposed on a first surface of the bulk copper foil and includes a roughening layer, where the outermost surface of the first surface treatment layer is a treating surface of the surface-treated copper foil. The material volume (Vm) of the treating surface is 0.06 to 1.45 μm.sup.3/μm.sup.2, and the five-point peak height (S5p) of the treating surface is 0.15 to 2.00 μm.

A method for manufacturing an electroplated steel sheet by continuously performing electroplating on a steel sheet, the method including disposing a slit gas nozzle having an ejection port having a width wider than a width of the steel sheet in a width direction of the steel sheet on a side of an exit of an electroplating cell for the steel sheet to pass through, and ejecting a gas through the slit gas nozzle toward the steel sheet.

A surface-treated copper foil, which is excellent in adhesiveness with an insulating substrate for a high-frequency circuit, and particularly is capable of producing a copper clad laminate where occurrence of blisters are suppressed even when a thermal load due to high temperature press-working is applied. More particularly, it is a surface-treated copper foil for a high-frequency circuit having a heat resisting treated layer formed on a copper foil of 35 μm or less in thickness, in which the heat resisting treated layer is characterized by a film including a quaternary metal oxide of chromium, molybdenum, zinc, and nickel and a compound thereof, characterizes the present invention.

An apparatus for fabricating an electrode structure includes a high voltage unit, a plating material part facing the high voltage unit, and a transfer roll to which a negative voltage is applied. The high voltage unit includes a high voltage roll, and an insulating sheath configured to cover a surface of the high voltage roll. The high voltage roll is applied with a voltage of about 1 kV to about 100 kV, the plating material part is applied with a positive voltage, and the high voltage unit and the transfer roll rotate.

A multi-walled pipe and a method for its manufacture involves a steel sheet forming a steel source layer to which a nickel source layer is applied on at least one or both sides. A solder source layer is applied to the one nickel source layer, or one of the two, or both, nickel source layers. The multi-walled pipe is formed from a strip of the coated metal sheet by rolling. The walls of the pipe are soldered by heating. In one form, the heating takes place by radiation. In another, it takes place by induction.
