  • the zinc alloy plated steel sheet includes a base steel sheet and a zinc alloy plating layer.
  • the base steel sheet is not limited to a particular type.
  • a hot-rolled steel sheet or a cold-rolled steel sheet commonly used as a base steel sheet of a zinc alloy plated steel sheet may be used.
  • hot-rolled steel sheets have a large amount of surface oxide scale that lowers plating adhesion and thus plating quality, and thus a hot-rolled steel sheet from which oxide scale has been previously removed using an acid solution may be used as the base steel sheet.
  • the zinc alloy plating layer may be formed on one or each side of the base steel sheet.
  • the zinc alloy plating layer may include, by wt %, aluminum (Al): 0.5% to 3%, magnesium (Mg): 0.5% to 3%, and the balance of zinc (Zn) and inevitable impurities.
  • magnesium (Mg) reacts with zinc (Zn) and aluminum (Al) and forms a Zn—Al—Mg-based intermetallic compound, thereby functioning as a key element improving the corrosion resistance of the zinc alloy plated steel sheet. If the content of magnesium (Mg) is excessively low, the Zn—Al—Mg-based intermetallic compound is not present in sufficient amounts in the microstructure of the zinc alloy plating layer, and thus corrosion resistance may not be sufficiently improved. Therefore, the amount of magnesium (Mg) in the zinc alloy plating layer may be 0.5 wt % or greater, preferably 1.0 wt % or greater.
  • the amount of magnesium (Mg) in the zinc alloy plating layer may be 3 wt % or less, preferably 2.9 wt % or less.

If the content of aluminum (Al) is excessively low, the formation of Mg dross is not sufficiently suppressed, and the Zn—Al—Mg-based intermetallic compound is not present in sufficient amounts in the microstructure of the zinc alloy plating layer, which may result in insufficient improvements in corrosion resistance.

  • the Zn—Al—Mg-based intermetallic compound having high harness may be formed in excessively large amounts in the microstructure of the zinc alloy plating layer, and thus bending workability may be lowered. Therefore, the amount of aluminum (Al) in the zinc alloy plating layer may be 3 wt % or less, preferably 2.6 wt % or less.
  • the contents of magnesium (Mg) and aluminum (Al) in the zinc alloy plating layer may satisfy the following Formula 2.

  • the Zn—Al—Mg-based intermetallic compound may include at least one selected from the group consisting of a Zn/Al/MgZn 2 ternary eutectic structure, a Zn/MgZn 2 binary eutectic structure, a Zn/Al binary eutectic structure, and an MgZn 2 single phase structure.
  • the inventors have conducted in-depth research into improving the bending workability of zinc alloy plated steel sheets and found that if a Zn single phase structure having a hexagonal close packing (HCP) structure is grown in a (0001) orientation in the microstructure of the zinc alloy plating layer, ductility increases owing to easy slippage, and thus cracks are markedly reduced in a bending process.

  • I total refers to the integral of all diffraction peaks of the Zn single phase structure when an X-ray diffraction pattern is measured within the range of 2 theta from 10° to 100° using a Cu-K ⁇ source
  • I basal refers to the integral of diffraction peaks of the Zn single phase structure relating to a basal plane.
  • the inventors have found that if the Zn single phase structure coarsely formed in the zinc alloy plating layer is refined in size, it is also helpful to reduce cracking during a bending process.
  • the average grain diameter of the Zn single phase structure may be preferably adjusted to be 15 ⁇ m or less, more preferably 12 ⁇ m or less, and even more preferably 10 ⁇ m or less.
  • the “average grain diameter” of the Zn single phase structure refers to the average of equivalent circular diameters of the Zn single phase structure measured by observing a thicknesswise cross-section of the zinc alloy plating layer.
  • the zinc alloy plated steel sheet of the present disclosure has high corrosion resistance and bending workability as well.
  • the zinc alloy plated steel sheet of the present disclosure may have a good appearance.

  • the area fraction of the Zn single phase structure may preferably be 40% or less (excluding 0%) on the surface of the zinc alloy plating layer. That is, the appearance of the zinc alloy plated steel sheet may be improved by maximizing the fraction of the Zn—Al—Mg-based intermetallic compound present on the surface of the zinc alloy plating layer.
  • the zinc alloy plated steel sheet of the present disclosure may also have high scratch resistance.
  • the sum of the area fractions of the Zn/MgZn 2 binary eutectic structure and the Zn/Al/MgZn 2 ternary eutectic structure may be 50% or greater (excluding 100%), and the area fraction of the MgZn 2 single phase structure may be 10% or less (including 0%).
  • the MgZn 2 single phase structure has high hardness and thus causes cracks during a machining process, and thus the area fraction of the MgZn 2 single phase structure may be adjusted to be as low as possible.
  • the zinc alloy plated steel sheet of the present disclosure may be manufactured by various methods without limitation. However, for example, when the zinc alloy plating layer solidifies from a molten state, the zinc alloy plating layer may be cooled by spraying droplets thereon and then cooled with air to obtain the above-described degree of preferred orientation and average grain diameter.
  • droplets may be sprayed by a charge spray method to attach the droplets by electrostatic attraction between the droplets and the zinc alloy plated steel sheet.
  • This charge spray method may be helpful in forming fine, uniform droplets and reducing the amount of droplets colliding with and bouncing off the zinc alloy plated steel sheet after being sprayed on the zinc alloy plated steel sheet, thereby facilitating rapid cooling of the zinc alloy plating layer from the molten state and having a positive effect on the growth of the Zn single phase structure in the (0001) orientation and refinement of the Zn single phase structure.
  • the droplets may be droplets of a phosphate aqueous solution capable of rapidly cooling the zinc alloy plating layer from the molten state through an endothermic reaction and thus effective in growing the Zn single phase structure in the (0001) orientation and refining the Zn single phase structure.
  • the phosphate aqueous solution may include an aqueous solution of ammonium hydrogen phosphate ((NH 4 ) 2 HPO 4 ), an aqueous solution of sodium ammonium hydrogen phosphate (NaNH 4 HPO 4 ), an aqueous solution of zinc dihydrogen phosphate (Zn(H 2 PO 4 ) 2 ), and an aqueous solution of calcium phosphate (Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 ).
  • the content of the phosphate aqueous solution may be 1 wt % to 3 wt %. If the content of the phosphate aqueous solution is less than 1 wt %, the effect of the phosphate aqueous solution may not be sufficient. If the content of the phosphate aqueous solution is greater than 3 wt %, the effect of the phosphate aqueous solution is saturated, and nozzle clogging may occur in a continuous production process, lowering productivity.
  • droplets when the droplets may be sprayed at a droplet spray start temperature of 405° C. to 425° C., and more preferably 410° C. to 420° C.
  • droplet spray start temperature refers to a surface temperature of the zinc alloy plated steel sheet at the start time of droplet spraying. If the droplet spray start temperature is less than 405° C., solidification of the Zn single phase structure may have already started, and thus black spots may be formed on the surface of the zinc alloy plated steel sheet. Conversely, if the droplet spray start temperature is greater than 425° C., droplets may not effectively undergo an endothermic reaction, and thus it may be difficult to obtain an intended structure.
  • the droplets may be sprayed at a droplet spray stop temperature of 380° C. to 400° C., and more preferably 390° C. to 400° C.
  • the term “droplet spray stop temperature” refers to a surface temperature of the zinc alloy plated steel sheet at a point in time at which spraying of droplets stops. If the droplet spray stop temperature is greater than 400° C., an endothermic reaction by the droplets may occur ineffectively, and thus it may be difficult to obtain an intended structure.
  • a Mg 2 Zn 11 phase may be formed due to over cooling while the Zn/MgZn 2 binary eutectic phase and the Zn/Al/MgZn 2 ternary phase start to solidify, and thus many black spots may be formed, decreasing the degree of (0001) preferred orientation of the Zn single phase structure.
  • the difference between the droplet spray start temperature and the droplet spray stop temperature may be 15° C. or greater. If the difference is less than 15° C., the droplets may not undergo an effective endothermic reaction, and thus it may be difficult to obtain an intended structure.
  • the droplets may be sprayed in an amount of 50 g/m 2 to 100 g/m 2 . If the spraying amount of the droplets is less than 50 g/m 2 , the effect of the droplets may be insufficient, and if the spraying amount of the droplets is greater than 100 g/m 2 , the effect of the droplets may be saturated.
  • Low carbon cold-rolled steel sheets each having a thickness of 0.8 mm, a width of 100 mm, and a length of 200 mm were prepared as base steel sheets for plating test samples, and then foreign substances such as rolling oil were removed from the surfaces of the base steel sheets by dipping the base steel sheets into acetone and washing the base steel sheets with ultrasonic waves.
