  • Patent number: 11939676
    Abstract: This hot-dip Zn—Al—Mg-based plated steel includes: a steel; and a plating layer formed on a surface of the steel, in which the plating layer contains, as an average composition, Mg: 1 to 10 mass %, Al: 4 to 22 mass %, and a remainder consisting of Zn and impurities, the plating layer includes an (Al—Zn mixed structure) in an area ratio of 10% to 70% in a cross section of the plating layer in a matrix of an (Al/Zn/MgZn2 ternary eutectic structure), the (Al—Zn mixed structure) includes a first region that has a Zn concentration in a range of 75 mass % or more and less than 85 mass % and a second region that is present inside the first region and has a Zn concentration in a range of 67 mass % or more and less than 75 mass %, and an area ratio of the second region in the (Al—Zn mixed structure) in the cross section of the plating layer is more than 0% and 40% or less.

  • Publication number: 20200232077
    Abstract: A sheet includes: a base; an Al-plating layer on at least one of opposite surfaces of the base; an intermediate coating layer on a surface of the Al-plating layer; and a surface coating layer formed on a surface of the intermediate coating layer and containing ZnO particles with a mean particle size of 0.10 ?m or more and 5.00 ?m or less and an organic resin such that an amount of coating of the ZnO particles is 0.5 g/m2 or more and 10.0 g/m2 or less in terms of metallic zinc.
