Abstract

A Zn—Al—Mg-based plated steel sheet has, an alloy layer formed on a surface of a steel sheet and contains Fe and Si, and a plated layer formed on a surface of the alloy layer opposite to the steel sheet, in which the plated layer and the alloy layer include, in mass %, Al: 45.0 to 65.0%, Si: 0.50 to 5.00%, Mg: 1.00 to 10.00%, and a balance of Zn, Fe, and impurities, the plated layer contains 0.1 to 20.0% of a Mg—Si phase in terms of volume fraction, an average equivalent circle diameter of the Mg—Si phase in the surface layer area is 0.1 to 15.0 μm, and an integrated value of a Si content from the surface to thickness center of the plated layer is 0.55 times or more of an integrated value of the Si content from the surface to an interface.

Claims (18)

1. A Zn—Al—Mg-based plated steel sheet comprising:

a steel sheet;

an alloy layer which is formed on a surface of the steel sheet and contains Fe and Si; and

a plated layer which is formed on a surface of the alloy layer opposite to the steel sheet,

wherein an average composition of the plated layer and the alloy layer includes, in mass %,

Al: 45.0 to 65.0%,

Si: 0.50 to 5.00%,

Mg: 1.00 to 10.00%, and

a balance of Zn, Fe, and impurities,

the plated layer contains 0.1 to 20.0% of a Mg—Si phase in terms of volume fraction,

in a case where a 1 μm range from a surface of the plated layer in a thickness direction of the plated layer is defined as a surface layer area of the plated layer, an average equivalent circle diameter of the Mg—Si phase in the surface layer area in a direction in which the plated layer is observed in a plan view of the surface layer area is 0.1 to 15.0 μm, and

in a case where a ½ thickness position of the plated layer from the surface of the plated layer to an interface between the plated layer and the alloy layer is defined as a thickness center of the plated layer and a Si content is measured over the entire thickness of the plated layer in mass %, an integrated value of the Si content from the surface of the plated layer to the thickness center of the plated layer is 0.55 times or more of an integrated value of the Si content from the surface of the plated layer to the interface.

2. The Zn—Al—Mg-based plated steel sheet according to claim 1 ,

wherein the integrated value of the Si content from the surface of the plated layer to the thickness center of the plated layer is 0.60 times or more of the integrated value of the Si content from the surface of the plated layer to the interface.

3. The Zn—Al—Mg-based plated steel sheet according to claim 2 ,

wherein the average composition of the plated layer and the alloy layer further includes 0.01 to 1.00% in total of one or more of the group consisting of Cr, Ca, Sr, and Ni.

4. The Zn—Al—Mg-based plated steel sheet according to claim 1 ,

wherein the average composition of the plated layer and the alloy layer further includes 0.01 to 1.00% in total of one or more of the group consisting of Cr, Ca, Sr, and Ni.
