Abstract: In conventional Al coated steel sheet, with the Al coating as it is, black discoloration cannot be prevented at 550° C. or more. For this reason, post annealing is used to form a barrier layer and suppress the formation of Fe—Al intermetallic compounds. However, with this method, there were the problems that the steel sheet became poor in workability and, further, high temperature, long time heating was required, so there were problems from the workability, economy, and environmental aspect. The present invention provides steel sheet which has a heat black discoloration resistance even at a 550° C. or more high temperature without additional annealing after Al coating and further is excellent in workability. That is, it is hot dip Al coated steel sheet which comprises steel sheet which contains predetermined ingredients of C, Si, P, S, Al, N, and O plus one or both of furthermore Ni: 0.01 to 0.1% or Cu: 0.01 to 0.1% and satisfies 10×C+Ni+Cu>0.

Abstract: A steel base material (11) is subjected to a quenching step, a machining step, a plating step, and a tempering step to form a rod (4). In the quenching step, two axially spaced portions of the steel base material are quenched to form quenched portions (12 and 13). In the machining step, plastic working or cutting is performed on a portion of the steel base material between the two quenched portions to form a full-circumferential groove (4C1) in a machined portion 4C. In the plating step, the quenched portion (12) is not plated, but a region of the steel base material including the quenched portion (13) is plated to form a coating layer (16). In the tempering step, the quenched portions are tempered.
