Plated steel wire and manufacturing method for the same
A plated steel wire, according to one aspect of the present invention, comprises: a base steel wire; and a zinc alloy plated layer. The zinc alloy plated layer comprises, in percentage by weight: 1.0% to 3.0% of Al; 1.0% to 2.0% of Mg; 0.5% to 5.0% of Fe; and the balance being Zn and unavoidable impurities, and includes a Zn/MgZn2/Al ternary eutectic structure, a Zn single-phase structure, and an Fe—Zn—Al-based crystal structure, wherein the Fe—Zn—Al-based crystal structure is formed adjacent to the base steel wire, and can have an average thickness of ⅕ to ½ with respect to an average thickness of the zinc alloy plated layer.
1. A plated steel wire comprising:
a base steel wire; and
a zinc alloy plating layer,
wherein the zinc alloy plating layer contains, by wt %, 1.0 to 3.0% of Al, 1.0 to 2.0% of Mg, 0.5 to 5.0% of Fe, and a balance of Zn and unavoidable impurities,
the zinc alloy plating layer includes a Zn/MgZn 2 /Al ternary eutectic structure, a Zn single-phase structure, and an Fe—Zn—Al-based crystal structure, and
the Fe—Zn—Al-based crystal structure is formed adjacent to the base steel wire, and has an average thickness of ⅕ to ½ of an average thickness of the zinc alloy plating layer.
2. The plated steel wire of claim 1 , wherein in a cross section of the zinc alloy plating layer, an area fraction occupied by the Zn single-phase structure in an area occupied by the Zn/MgZn 2 /Al ternary eutectic structure and the Zn single-phase structure is 60% or more.
3. The plated steel wire of claim 1 , wherein in a cross section of the zinc alloy plating layer, an average distance between columnar crystals in the Zn single-phase structure is 1 to 5 μm.
