- the present inventors have studied means for improving paint adhesion to a coating layer.
- the metal structure of a Zn-Al-Mg-based hot-dip coating layer containing Al, Mg, and Zn includes various phases or structures. For example, it is known that an Al phase and an MgZn two- phase crystallize in the early solidification stage, and a binary eutectic structure or a ternary eutectic structure crystallizes in the later solidification stage. As a result of the study by the present inventors, it was found that the binary eutectic structure or the ternary eutectic structure has superior adhesion to a coating film compared to the Al phase and the MgZn two- phase.
- binary or ternary eutectic structures may be exposed on the surface of the plating layer. These binary or ternary eutectic structures are often distributed on the surface of the plating layer, specifically, in a range from the surface of the plating layer to a depth position of 1/4 to 1/3 of the average thickness of the plating layer. Conventionally, it was thought that these eutectic structures exposed on the surface of the plating layer improve paint adhesion.
- the processed plating layer may develop fine cracks on its surface due to strain during processing.
- the Zn-Al-Mg hot-dip plating layer is harder than the conventional Zn-based plating layer, so there is a possibility that a relatively large number of cracks will occur, and the eutectic structure will fall off the plating layer more frequently, raising concerns about a decrease in paint adhesion.
- the inventors have therefore conducted research and found that by controlling the atmosphere from when the plating bath is pulled up to when cooling begins after the plating bath is applied to the steel sheet by the hot-dip plating method, adjusting the cooling rate during cooling, and selecting a suitable cooling gas, the binary eutectic structure or ternary eutectic structure can be continuously present up to a position deeper than the surface of the plating layer, specifically, at least to a position at a depth of 1/2 the average thickness of the plating layer, so that even if cracks occur, the eutectic structure will not fall off from the plating layer, and thus a decrease in paint adhesion can be prevented. Furthermore, they have found that by controlling the atmosphere, adjusting the cooling rate, and selecting a suitable cooling gas, the surface of the plating layer can be made uneven, further improving paint adhesion.
- the plated steel sheet of the present embodiment includes a steel sheet and a plating layer disposed on at least a portion of a surface of the steel sheet, and the plating layer has an average chemical composition, in mass%, of Al: 10.00 to 30.00%, Mg: 1.00 to 15.00%, Sn: 0.00 to 1.00%, Si: 0.00 to 2.00%, Ca: 0.00 to 2.00%, Ni: 0.00 to 1.00%, Fe: 0.01 to 15.00%, Sb: 0.00 to 0.50%, Pb: 0.00 to 0.50%, Cu: 0.00 to 0.50%, and Fe: 0.01 to 15.00%.

- the surface of the plating layer is an uneven surface, and in a cross section of the plating layer, the relationship between the longitudinal length Lo of the plating layer within the observation region and the total length Lr of the contour line of the surface of the plating layer within the observation region satisfies the following formula (1), the plating layer contains one or both of a plurality of aggregate binary eutectic structures or a plurality of aggregate ternary eutectic structures, and at least a part of the plurality of aggregate binary eutectic structures or the plurality of aggregate

- a location where at least a portion of a plurality of aggregated binary eutectic structures or a plurality of aggregated ternary eutectic structures is continuously present from the surface of the plated layer to the Fe-Al-based interface alloy layer is located in a recess of the uneven surface of the plated layer.

- the length Lo is the longitudinal length of the plating layer in the observation area of the cross section of the plating layer
- Lr is the total length of the contour of the surface of the plating layer in the observation area.
- the observation area is the observation field when the cross section of the plating layer is observed with a scanning electron microscope
- the longitudinal length of the plating layer that fits in the observation field is Lo

- the position of the observation field is set at a distance of 5 mm or more from the edge of the plated steel sheet.

- the plating layer of this embodiment includes one or both of a plurality of massive binary eutectic structures and a plurality of massive ternary eutectic structures.
- the binary eutectic structure is a eutectic structure of an ⁇ -Zn phase and an Al-Zn phase
- the ternary eutectic structure is a eutectic structure of an Al phase, a Zn phase, and an MgZn 2 phase.
- These eutectic structures may be a lamellar assembly of each phase constituting the eutectic structure.
- the binary eutectic structure may have a lamellar structure in which a layered ⁇ -Zn phase and a layered Al-Zn phase are overlapped.
- the ternary eutectic structure may have a lamellar structure in which a layered Al phase, a layered Zn phase, and a layered MgZn 2 phase are overlapped.
- the plating layer contains massive Al phase, Al-Zn phase, Zn phase, MgZn two- phase, etc.
- the plating layer may contain a eutectoid structure containing a lamellar Zn phase and a lamellar Al phase. This eutectoid structure has a lamellar structure, but does not fall under the category of a binary eutectic structure or a ternary eutectic structure.
- the multiple block-shaped binary or ternary eutectic structures is present continuously from the surface of the plating layer to a position that is half the average thickness of the plating layer. At least a portion of these block-shaped binary or ternary eutectic structures is exposed on the surface of the plating layer.
- the binary or ternary eutectic structure has excellent adhesion to the paint film. Therefore, by exposing the binary or ternary eutectic structure to the surface of the plating layer, the adhesion of the paint film to the entire plating layer is improved.
- the cracks often progress along the boundary between the binary or ternary eutectic structure and other phases or structures.
- at least a portion of the binary or ternary eutectic structure exists continuously up to a position that is 1/2 the average thickness of the plating layer. Therefore, cracks that occur during bending tend to progress from the surface of the plating layer toward the steel sheet side, and are less likely to progress in a direction parallel to the surface of the plating layer. Therefore, even if cracks occur, the eutectic structure is less likely to fall off from the plating layer, and powdering or flaking is suppressed. As a result, even if the plating layer is processed, the paint adhesion of the plating layer is not reduced.
- the plating layer of this embodiment it is more preferable that at least a portion of the multiple blocky binary eutectic structures or ternary eutectic structures is present continuously from the surface of the plating layer to the Fe-Al-based interface alloy layer. This further suppresses the occurrence of powdering or flaking, and further improves the paint adhesion of the plating layer.

- the binary eutectic structure or ternary eutectic structure 14 continues from the surface of the plating layer 12 toward the steel sheet 11 side. It can also be seen that the binary eutectic structure or ternary eutectic structure 14 exists continuously up to the Fe-Al-based interface alloy layer 13 on the steel sheet 11 side of the plating layer 12. Note that FIG. 3
- FIG 3 shows an example in which many of the binary eutectic structures or ternary eutectic structures 14 continue up to the Fe-Al-based interface alloy layer 13 on the steel sheet 11 side of the plating layer 12, but this embodiment is not limited to this, and the binary eutectic structure or ternary eutectic structure 14 that continues up to the 1/2 position of the plating layer 12 may be included.
- FIG. 4 a schematic cross-sectional view of a conventional plating layer is shown in Figure 4.
- the surface of the plating layer is flat, and the binary or ternary eutectic structure 114 is distributed near the interface alloy layer 113 of the plating layer 112 or near the surface of the plating layer, and no binary or ternary eutectic structure 114 is found that is continuous up to the 1/2 position of the plating layer 112.

- the binary eutectic structure or ternary eutectic structure 14 crystallizes in the latter half of the solidification process of the plating layer.
- the concentration of the binary eutectic structure or ternary eutectic structure 14 in the recesses, combined with the geometric effect of the uneven surface, can improve paint adhesion.

- the binary eutectic structure or ternary eutectic structure starts to crystallize after the Al phase or Al-Zn phase has crystallized.
- the crystallization of these eutectic structures is thought to start from nucleation in the region of the plating layer on the steel sheet side, more specifically, on the surface of the Fe-Al interface alloy layer.
- the crystallization of the eutectic structure is thought to progress toward the surface of the plating layer. Therefore, it is thought that most of the binary eutectic structure or ternary eutectic structure according to this embodiment exists continuously from the surface of the plating layer to the Fe-Al interface alloy layer.
- the entire binary or ternary eutectic structure is not always observed in a continuous form from the surface of the plating layer to the Fe-Al interface alloy layer. This is because the individual shapes of the block-shaped binary or ternary eutectic structures are indefinite, so the shape of the binary or ternary eutectic structure appears different depending on the position of the cross section.
- the inventors' investigations have shown that if it is observed that at least a portion of multiple blocky binary or ternary eutectic structures exist continuously from the surface of the plating layer to a position half the average thickness of the plating layer in the cross section of the plating layer, then it is highly likely that most of the binary or ternary eutectic structures exist in a continuous form from the surface of the plating layer to the Fe-Al interface alloy layer, which is believed to improve paint adhesion.
