Abstract

Provided is a plated steel material which can be used for an automobile, a household appliance, a building material, and the like and, more particularly, to a zinc alloy plated steel material having excellent corrosion resistance after being processed and a method for manufacturing the same.

Claims (12)

1. A zinc alloy plated steel material having excellent corrosion resistance after being processed, comprising:

a base steel;

a zinc alloy plated layer formed on the base steel; and

an inhibition layer formed between the base steel and the zinc alloy plated layer,

wherein the zinc alloy plated layer comprises, by wt %, 0.5% to 3.5% of magnesium (Mg), 0.5% to 11.0% of aluminum (Al), 10 wt ppm to 350 wt ppm of silicon (Si), a remainder of zinc (Zn) and inevitable impurities,

the inhibition layer comprises a Si-concentrated layer, and

a number of Mg 2 Si phases between the base steel and the zinc alloy plated layer, having a diameter greater than 1000 nm, is 5 or less per 100 μm.

2. The steel material of claim 1 , wherein a number of Mg 2 Si phases between the base steel and the zinc alloy plated layer, having a diameter greater than 500 nm, is 5 or less per 100 μm.

3. The steel material of claim 1 , wherein Si is solid-solubilized in the Si-concentrated layer.

4. The steel material of claim 1 , wherein the Si-concentrated layer is formed in a lower portion of the inhibition layer.

5. The steel material of claim 1 , wherein the inhibition layer includes intermetallic compounds of Fe and Al.

6. The steel material of claim 5 , wherein the inhibition layer further includes Si solid-solubilized in the intermetallic compounds.
