Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of producing a hot-dip Zn alloy-plated steel sheet includes: dipping a base steel sheet in a hot-dip Zn alloy plating bath to form a hot-dip Zn alloy plating layer on a surface of the base steel sheet; and contacting an aqueous solution containing a water-soluble corrosion inhibitor with a surface of the hot-dip Zn alloy plating layer to cool the base steel sheet and the hot-dip Zn alloy plating layer having a raised temperature through formation of the hot-dip Zn alloy plating layer. A temperature of the surface of the hot-dip Zn alloy plating layer when the aqueous solution is to be contacted with the surface of the hot-dip Zn alloy plating layer is equal to or more than 100° C. and equal to or less than a solidifying point of the plating layer. The aqueous solution containing the water-soluble corrosion inhibitor satisfies the Equation [{(Z0−Z1)/Z0}100≥20].

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of producing a hot-dip Zn alloy-plated steel sheet comprising: dipping a base steel sheet in a hot-dip Zn alloy plating bath to form a hot-dip Zn alloy plating layer on a surface of the base steel sheet; and contacting an aqueous solution containing a water-soluble corrosion inhibitor with a surface of the hot-dip Zn alloy plating layer to cool the base steel sheet and the hot-dip Zn alloy plating layer having a raised temperature through formation of the hot-dip Zn alloy plating layer, wherein a temperature of the surface of the hot-dip Zn alloy plating layer when the aqueous solution is to be contacted with the surface of the hot-dip Zn alloy plating layer is equal to or more than 100° C. and equal to or less than a solidifying point of the hot-dip Zn alloy plating layer; and wherein the aqueous solution containing the water-soluble corrosion inhibitor satisfies following Equation 1: Z 0 - Z 1 Z 0 × 100 ≥ 20 ( Equation ⁢ ⁢ 1 ) Z 0 is a corrosion current density of the hot-dip Zn alloy-plated steel sheet measured in a 0.5 M NaCl aqueous solution not containing the water-soluble corrosion inhibitor, and Z 1 is a corrosion current density of the hot-dip Zn alloy-plated steel sheet measured in the aqueous solution containing the water-soluble corrosion inhibitor, in which NaCl is further dissolved so that a final concentration of NaCl is 0.5 M, wherein the 0.5M NaCl aqueous solution not containing the water-soluble corrosion inhibitor has the same composition as the aqueous solution containing the water-soluble corrosion inhibitor in which NaCl is further dissolved, except for the absence of the water-soluble corrosion inhibitor.
