Therefore, it is important to suppress the external oxidation while introducing sufficient oxygen from the atmosphere into the interior (surface layer) of the base steel sheet. It is also important to promote the diffusion of Fe from the base steel sheet to the coated or plated layer by setting the temperature of the cold-rolled steel sheet when it enters the coating or plating bath to at least 10° C. higher than the coating or plating bath temperature.
