Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a coated steel product including: a steel product; a coating layer that is coated on the surface of the steel product and that includes from 8 to 50% by mass of Mg, from 2.5 to 70.0% by mass of Al, and from 0.30 to 5.00% by mass of Ca, with the balance consisting of Zn and impurities; and an intermediate layer interposed between the steel product and the coating layer, in which the intermediate layer has a sea-island structure constituted by a sea portion composed of an Al—Fe alloy phase, and island portions including a Zn—Mg—Al alloy phase having a Mg content of 8% by mass or more, and in which the sea portion composed of the Al—Fe alloy phase has an area fraction of from 55 to 90%.

What is claimed is: 1. A coated steel product comprising: a steel product; a coating layer that is coated on a surface of the steel product, and that comprises, by mass, from 8 to 50% of Mg, from 2.5 to 70.0% of Al, from 0.30 to 5.00% of Ca, from 0 to 3.50% of Y, from 0 to 3.50% of La, from 0 to 3.50% of Ce, from 0 to 0.50% of Si, from 0 to 0.50% of Ti, from 0 to 0.50% of Cr, from 0 to 0.50% of Co, from 0 to 0.50% of Ni, from 0 to 0.50% of V, from 0 to 0.50% of Nb, from 0 to 0.50% of Cu, from 0 to 0.50% of Sn, from 0 to 0.20% of Mn, from 0 to 0.50% of Sr, from 0 to 0.50% of Sb, from 0 to 0.50% of Cd, from 0 to 0.50% of Pb, and from 0 to 0.50% of B, with a balance consisting of Zn and impurities, wherein the following Formula (A) and the following Formula (B) are satisfied: Si+Ti+Cr+Co+Ni+V+Nb+Cu+Sn+Mn+Sr+Sb+Cd+Pb+B≤0.50%  Formula (A): Ca+Y+La+Ce≤5.00%  Formula (B): wherein, in Formula (A) and Formula (B), symbols of respective elements represent contents of the respective elements in % by mass; an intermediate layer interposed between the steel product and the coating layer, wherein the intermediate layer has a sea-island structure constituted by a sea portion composed of an Al—Fe alloy phase, and island portions including a Zn—Mg—Al alloy phase having a Mg content of 8% by mass or more, and wherein the sea portion composed of the Al—Fe alloy phase has an area fraction of from 55 to 90%; and the intermediate layer has a thickness of 10 μm to 500 μm. 2. The coated steel product according to claim 1 , wherein the sea portion is composed of Al 5 Fe 2 phase as the Al—Fe alloy phase, and wherein the island portions are composed of a quasicrystal phase as the Zn—Mg—Al alloy phase, and MgZn 2 phase, or composed of the quasicrystal phase as the Zn—Mg—Al alloy phase, the MgZn 2 phase, and Mg phase. 3. The coated steel product according to claim 2 , wherein a ratio of a thickness of the intermediate layer to a thickness of the coating layer is from 0.2 to 4. 4. The coated steel product according to claim 2 , wherein the Mg content in the coating layer is 15% by mass or more, and the Mg content in the Zn—Mg—Al alloy phase is 15% by mass or more. 5. The coated steel product according to claim 2 , wherein the coating layer is a hot-dip coating layer. 6. The coated steel product according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of a thickness of the intermediate layer to a thickness of the coating layer is from 0.2 to 4. 7. The coated steel product according to claim 6 , wherein the Mg content in the coating layer is 15% by mass or more, and the Mg content in the Zn—Mg—Al alloy phase is 15% by mass or more. 8. The coated steel product according to claim 6 , wherein the coating layer is a hot-dip coating layer. 9. The coated steel product according to claim 1 , wherein the Mg content in the coating layer is 15% by mass or more, and the Mg content in the Zn—Mg—Al alloy phase is 15% by mass or more. 10. The coated steel product according to claim 9 , wherein the coating layer is a hot-dip coating layer. 11. The coated steel product according to claim 1 , wherein the coating layer is a hot-dip coating layer.
