Abstract

The present invention relates to a zinc plated steel sheet having excellent surface quality and spot weldability, and a manufacturing method therefore. A zinc plated steel sheet according to one aspect of the present invention comprises a base steel sheet and a zinc-based plating layer formed on the surface of the base steel sheet, wherein the GDOES profile of oxygen, which is measured in the depth direction from the surface of the base steel sheet, has a form in which a local minimum point and a local maximum point alternately appear in the depth direction from the surface, and the difference (a local maximum value−a local minimum value) between the oxygen concentration (a local minimum value) at the local minimum point and the oxygen concentration (a local maximum value) at the local maximum point can be 0.1 wt % or more.

Claims (11)

1. A zinc plated steel sheet comprising:

a base steel sheet; and

a zinc-based plating layer formed on a surface of the base steel sheet,

wherein a GDOES profile of oxygen measured in a depth direction from the surface of the base steel sheet has a form in which a local minimum point and a local maximum point sequentially appear in the depth direction from the surface, and

a difference (a local maximum value−a local minimum value) between an oxygen concentration (a local minimum value) at the local minimum point and an oxygen concentration (a local maximum value) at the local maximum point is 0.1 percent by weight or more.

2. The zinc plated steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the local minimum point appears in the range of 0.5-10 μm in the depth direction of the surface of the base steel sheet.

3. The zinc plated steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the local maximum point appears in the range of 4-15 μm in the depth direction of the surface of the base steel sheet.

4. The zinc plated steel sheet of claim 3 , wherein the oxygen concentration at the local maximum point is 0.2 percent by weight or more.

5. The zinc plated steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the difference (a local maximum value−a local minimum value) between an oxygen concentration (a local minimum value) at the local minimum point and an oxygen concentration (a local maximum value) at the local maximum point is 0.1 percent by weight or more 0.39 percent by weight or less.

6. The zinc plated steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein a plating adhesion amount of the zinc-based plating layer is 30-70 g/m 2 .

7. The zinc plated steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the steel sheet has composition of C: 0.05-1.5%, Si: 2.0% or less, Mn: 1.0-30%, S—Al (acid-soluble aluminum): 3% or less, Cr: 2.5% or less, Mo: 1% or less, B: 0.005% or less, Nb: 0.2% or less, Ti: 0.2% or less, V: 0.2% or less, Sb+Sn+Bi: 0.1% or less, and N: 0.01% in percent by weight.
