Abstract

Provided is a highly corrosion-resistant plated steel sheet having plating adhesion and resistance to liquid metal embrittlement. A highly corrosion-resistant plated steel sheet comprises a base steel sheet and a plated layer, which sequentially comprises an Fe—Al alloy layer and an MgZn 2 layer from an interface with the base steel sheet.

Claims (19)

1. A highly corrosion-resistant plated steel sheet comprising:

a base steel sheet; and

an aluminum based plating layer formed on the base steel sheet, the plating layer having a composition including, by weight, 5 to 10% of Si, 5 to 30% of Zn, and 1 to 7% of Mg,

wherein the plating layer comprises: an Fe—Al alloy layer formed on the base steel sheet; an MgZn 2 layer formed on the Fe—Al alloy layer; and an Al alloy layer formed on the MgZn 2 layer,

wherein a total content of Fe and Al in the Fe—Al alloy layer is 70% by weight or more,

wherein a proportion of the MgZn 2 phase directly on an Fe—Al alloy phase in the plating layer is 90% or more, and

wherein the proportion is determined as a ratio of an area of the MgZn 2 phase to an overall area when observed after a layer formed to be higher than MgZn 2 is removed.

2. The highly corrosion-resistant plated steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the plating layer includes an Mg 2 Si phase with an area ratio of 10% or less with respect to a total cross-sectional area of the plating layer.

3. The highly corrosion-resistant plated steel sheet of claim 2 , wherein an area ratio of an Mg 2 Si phase in contact with the Fe—Al alloy layer is 2% or less, and

wherein the area ratio of the Mg 2 Si phase in contact with the Fe—Al alloy layer is determined as a ratio of an area of the Mg 2 Si phase to an overall area when observed after a layer, formed to be higher than Mg 2 Si contacting with the Fe—Al alloy layer, is removed.

4. The highly corrosion-resistant plated steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the composition of the plating layer further includes, by weight, 0.5% or less (excluding 0%) of Be and Sr in total.

5. The highly corrosion-resistant plated steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the Fe—Al alloy layer has a thickness of 1 μm to 8 μm.

6. The highly corrosion-resistant plated steel sheet of claim 5 , wherein the plating layer includes an Mg 2 Si phase with an area ratio of 10% or less with respect to a total cross-sectional area of the plating layer.

7. The highly corrosion-resistant plated steel sheet of claim 6 , wherein an area ratio of an Mg 2 Si phase in contact with the Fe—Al alloy layer is 2% or less, and

wherein the area ratio of the Mg 2 Si phase in contact with the Fe—Al alloy layer is determined as a ratio of an area of the Mg 2 Si phase to an overall area when observed after a layer, formed to be higher than Mg 2 Si contacting with the Fe—Al alloy layer, is removed.

8. The highly corrosion-resistant plated steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the MgZn 2 layer has a thickness of 0.5 μm or more.

9. The highly corrosion-resistant plated steel sheet of claim 8 , wherein the plating layer includes an Mg 2 Si phase with an area ratio of 10% or less with respect to a total cross-sectional area of the plating layer.

10. The highly corrosion-resistant plated steel sheet of claim 9 , wherein an area ratio of an Mg 2 Si phase in contact with the Fe—Al alloy layer is 2% or less, and

wherein the area ratio of the Mg 2 Si phase in contact with the Fe—Al alloy layer is determined as a ratio of an area of the Mg 2 Si phase to an overall area when observed after a layer, formed to be higher than Mg 2 Si contacting with the Fe—Al alloy layer, is removed.
