Abstract

A Zn—Mg alloy plated steel material having excellent adhesion to plating and corrosion resistance comprises base steel and a plating layer formed on the surface of the base steel, wherein the plating layer comprises a Zn single phase, a Mg single phase, an MgZn 2 alloy phase, and an Mg 2 Zn 11 alloy phase, the Zn single phase is contained in the plating layer at a proportion of 15 to 19 volumes, and the proportion of the Zn single phase in a lower t/ 2 area of the plating layer adjacent to the base steel may be greater than the proportion of the Zn single phase in an upper t/ 2 area of the plating layer on the surface layer side of the plating layer. (Here, t means the thickness (μm) of the plating layer).

Claims (9)

1. A Zn—Mg alloy plated steel material having excellent plating adhesion and corrosion resistance, the Zn—Mg alloy plated steel material comprising:

base steel and a plating layer formed on a surface of the base steel,

wherein the plating layer includes a Zn single phase, a Mg single phase, a MgZn 2 alloy phase, and Mg 2 Zn 11 alloy phase,

the Zn single phase is included in the plating layer in a proportion of 15 volume % to 19 volume %, and

a proportion of the Zn single phase by volume % in a lower t/2 region of the plating layer adjacent to the base steel is greater than a proportion of the Zn single phase by volume % in an upper t/2 region of the plating layer adjacent to a surface layer portion of the plating layer where t is a thickness (μm) of the plating layer.

2. The Zn—Mg alloy plated steel material of claim 1 , wherein the Mg single phase is included in the plating layer in a proportion of 13 volume % to 20 volume %.

3. The Zn—Mg alloy plated steel material of claim 1 , wherein the MgZn 2 alloy phase is included in the plating layer in a larger proportion by volume % than the Mg 2 Zn 11 alloy phase.

4. The Zn—Mg alloy plated steel material of claim 3 , wherein the Mg 2 Zn 11 alloy phase is included in the plating layer in a proportion of 18 volume % to 22 volume %.

5. The Zn—Mg alloy plated steel material of claim 1 , wherein the plating layer has a thickness (t) of 2 μm to 10 μm.
