Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A plated steel sheet (1) includes: a steel sheet (2); a pre-plating layer (3) on at least one surface of the steel sheet (2), the pre-plating layer (3) containing Al, Cu, In, Zn, Sn, or Sb, or any combination thereof; and a plating layer (4) of a Zn—Ni alloy on the pre-plating layer (3), a Ni content of the Zn—Ni alloy being 5 mass % to 15 mass %. A coating weight of the pre-plating layer (3) is 0.5 g/m2 or more, and a coating weight of the plating layer (4) is 5 g/m2 or more.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A plated steel sheet, comprising: a steel sheet; a pre-plating layer on at least one surface of the steel sheet; and a plating layer of a Zn—Ni alloy on the pre-plating layer, a Ni content of the Zn—Ni alloy being 5 mass % to 15 mass %, wherein the pre-plating layer consists of In, Sb, or Sn—Sb—In alloy, and 10 mass % or less of a total amount of Cr, Mo, Nb, Fe, Co, Mn, and Ni, a coating weight of the pre-plating layer is 0.5 g/m 2 or more, and a coating weight of the plating layer is 5 g/m 2 or more. 2. The plated steel sheet according to claim 1 , further comprising a chromate-free film of 10 mg/m 2 or more on the plating layer. 3. The plated steel sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the chromate-free film contains a fluoro compound of hexafluorotitanic acid or hexafluorozirconic acid or both of them, phosphoric acid, and a vanadium compound. 4. The plated steel sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the chromate-free film is formed by using a treatment solution containing a salt of Zr or Ti or both of them, or a treatment solution containing a silane coupling agent. 5. The plated steel sheet according to claim 4 , wherein the chromate-free film is formed by using the treatment solution containing a silane coupling agent and the silane coupling agent contains a first silane coupling agent containing a single amino group in a molecule and a second silane coupling agent containing a single glycidyl group in a molecule.
