Abstract

There is provided a hot-dip Al—Zn coated steel sheet that has a steel sheet containing Si and Mn as a base steel sheet and has excellent coating appearance and corrosion resistance. The Al—Zn coating layer has an Al content in the range of 20% to 95% by mass. The Al—Zn coating layer has a Ca content in the range of 0.01% to 10% by mass. Alternatively, the Ca and Mg content is in the range of 0.01% to 10% by mass. A steel sheet surface layer within 100 μm from a surface of the base steel sheet directly under the Al—Zn coating layer contains 0.06 to 1.0 g/m 2 per surface of an oxide of at least one selected from Fe, Si, Mn, Al, P, B, Nb, Ti, Cr, Mo, Cu, and Ni in total.

Claims (5)

1. A hot-dip Al—Zn coated steel sheet that includes an Al—Zn coating layer having an Al content in the range of 20% to 95% by mass on a surface of the steel sheet, wherein the Al—Zn coating layer contains 0.01% to 10% by mass of Ca, the coating layer having equal parts in a thickness direction with one part nearer an outer surface of the coating layer and one part nearer the steel sheet, wherein the Ca is present in a greater amount in the part of the coating layer nearer the outer surface of the coating layer, and wherein a steel sheet surface layer within 100 μm from a surface of the base steel sheet directly under the Al—Zn coating layer contains 0.06 to 1.0 g/m 2 per surface of an oxide of at least one selected from Fe, Si, Mn, Al, P, B, Nb, Ti, Cr, Mo, Cu, and Ni in total.

2. The hot-dip Al—Zn coated steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the mass ratio of Ca to Zn (Ca/Zn) in the Al—Zn coating layer is 0.5 or less.

3. The hot-dip Al—Zn coated steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the Al—Zn coating layer has a Zn content of 10% by mass or more.

4. The hot-dip Al—Zn coated steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the Al—Zn coating layer has an Al content in the range of 45% to 85% by mass.

5. A hot-dip Al—Zn coated steel sheet that includes an Al—Zn coating layer having an Al content in the range of 20% to 95% by mass on a surface of the steel sheet, wherein the Al—Zn coating layer contains 0.01% to 10% by mass of Ca and Mg in total, wherein the mass of Ca is greater than zero and the mass of Mg is greater than zero, the coating layer having equal parts in a thickness direction with one part nearer an outer surface of the coating layer and one part nearer the steel sheet, wherein the Ca and Mg are present in a greater amount in the part of the coating layer nearer the outer surface of the coating layer, and wherein a steel sheet surface layer within 100 μm from a surface of a base steel sheet directly under the Al—Zn coating layer contains 0.06 to 1.0 g/m 2 per surface of an oxide of at least one selected from Fe, Si, Mn, Al, P, B, Nb, Ti, Cr, Mo, Cu, and Ni in total.
