Abstract

Provided is a hot dip zinc alloy plated steel sheet which is widely used in vehicles, domestic appliances, construction materials or the like and a method for manufacturing the same. A Zn—Al—Mg hot dip zinc alloy plating bath is used for manufacturing the hot dip zinc alloy plated steel strip, and a small amount of Ga or In is added to the plating bath for inhibiting an oxidation reaction of Mg in the plating bath so as to obtain excellent corrosion resistance and external surface of the plated steel sheet which is manufactured at this point.

Claims (13)

1. A hot-dip zinc alloy plated steel sheet having excellent corrosion resistance and an excellent external surface comprising:

a base steel plate; and

a hot-dip zinc alloy plating layer,

wherein a composition of the hot-dip zinc alloy plating layer includes, in % by weight, aluminum (Al): 0.5 to 5.0%, magnesium (Mg): 1 to 5%, and (a) indium (In): 0.005 to 0.1% or (b) gallium (Ga): 0.01 to 0.1% and indium (In): 0.005 to 0.1%, a remainder of zinc (Zn) and unavoidable impurities, and a compositional ratio of the Mg and the Al satisfies the relationships of [Al+Mg≦7] and [Mg>Al], wherein the hot-dip zinc alloy plating layer employs a Zn—Al—MgZn 2 ternary eutectic structure as a base structure, wherein the hot-dip zinc alloy plating layer includes a plating structure in which a Zn—MgZn 2 binary eutectic structure is dispersed, wherein the hot-dip zinc alloy plating layer includes an Al single phase structure and a Zn single phase structure in an amount of 20% or less, and wherein the hot-dip zinc alloy plating layer includes a MgZn 2 structure as a remainder.

2. The hot-dip zinc alloy plated steel sheet having excellent corrosion resistance and an excellent external surface of claim 1 , wherein the hot-dip zinc alloy plating layer is attached in a plating amount of 10 to 500 g/m 2 based on one surface.

3. The hot-dip zinc alloy plated steel sheet having excellent corrosion resistance and an excellent external surface of claim 1 , which has surface roughness (Ra) of 1 μm or less.

4. A method for manufacturing a hot-dip zinc alloy plated steel sheet according to claim 1 having excellent corrosion resistance and an excellent external surface comprising:

preparing a hot-dip zinc alloy plating bath including, in % by weight, aluminum (Al): 0.5 to 5.0%; magnesium (Mg): 1 to 5%; and (a) indium (In): 0.005 to 0.1% or (b) gallium (Ga): 0.01 to 0.1% and indium (In): 0.005 to 0.1%; and a remainder of zinc (Zn) and unavoidable impurities, and a compositional ratio of the Mg and the Al satisfies a relationship of [Al+Mg<7];

preparing a plated steel sheet by dipping a base steel plate in the hot-dip zinc alloy plating bath and carrying out plating; and

gas wiping and cooling the plated steel sheet.

5. The method for manufacturing a hot-dip zinc alloy plated steel sheet having excellent corrosion resistance and an excellent external surface of claim 4 , wherein the hot-dip zinc alloy plating bath plating carries out the plating at a temperature of greater than or equal to melting point to less than or equal to 440° C.

6. The method for manufacturing a hot-dip zinc alloy plated steel sheet having excellent corrosion resistance and an excellent external surface of claim 4 , wherein the gas used in the gas wiping is nitrogen (N 2 ).

7. The method for manufacturing a hot-dip zinc alloy plated steel sheet having excellent corrosion resistance and an excellent external surface of claim 4 , wherein the cooling is carried out at a cooling rate of 10° C./s or more.
