Abstract

A hot dip zinc plated steel sheet, which has a hot dip zinc plating layer having a flat portion formed on the surface thereof, wherein a coating film comprising compounds containing Zn, Fe and O is formed in the flat portion, the coating film has a average thickness (A) of 10 to 100 nm as determined from the elemental analysis thereof, and a value of [Fe]/([Zn]+ [Fe]) in the coating film is 0.002 to 0.25 wherein each of [Zn] and [Fe] represents a content (atom.%) of Zn or Fe in the coating film. The above hot dip zinc plated steel sheet is excellent in press working characteristics, adhesiveness and chemical treatment characteristics, and thus is suitable for use in an automobile and a household electrical appliance.
