Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A plated steel sheet includes: a steel sheet; and a plating layer that is formed on at least a part of a surface of the steel sheet, in which a chemical composition of the plating layer includes, by mass %, Al: more than 5.00% and 35.00% or less, Mg: 3.00% to 15.00%, Si: 0% to 2.00%, Ca: 0% to 2.00%, and a remainder of Zn and impurities, in which in a cross section of the plating layer in a thickness direction, the area ratio of a lamellar structure in which an (Al—Zn) phase and a MgZn2 phase are arranged in layers is 10% to 90%, a lamellar spacing of the lamellar structure is 2.5 μm or less, and the area ratio of an (Al—Zn) dendrite is 35% or less.

What is claimed is: 1. A plated steel sheet comprising: a steel sheet; and a plating layer that is formed on at least a part of a surface of the steel sheet, wherein a chemical composition of the plating layer includes, by mass %, Al: more than 5.00% and 35.00% or less, Mg: 3.00% to 15.00%, Si: 0% to 2.00%, Ca: 0% to 2.00%, and a remainder of Zn and impurities, in a cross section of the plating layer in a thickness direction, an area ratio of a lamellar structure in which an (Al—Zn) phase and a MgZn 2 phase are arranged in layers is 10% to 90%, a lamellar spacing of the lamellar structure is 2.5 μm or less, and an area ratio of an (Al—Zn) dendrite is 35% or less. 2. The plated steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the chemical composition of the plating layer includes, by mass %, one or more kinds of Al: 11.00% to 30.00%, Mg: 3.00% to 11.00%, and Ca: 0.03% to 1.00%. 3. The plated steel sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the chemical composition of the plating layer further includes, by mass %: Sb: 0.50% or less; Pb: 0.50% or less; Cu: 1.00% or less; Sn: 1.00% or less; Ti: 1.00% or less; Sr: 0.50% or less; Ni: 1.00% or less; Mn: 1.00% or less; and Fe: 2.00% or less. 4. The plated steel sheet according to claim 2 , wherein in the cross section of the plating layer in the thickness direction, the area ratio of the lamellar structure is 50% to 90%. 5. The plated steel sheet according to claim 2 , further comprising an alloy layer that is provided between the plating layer and the steel sheet and is formed of an Al—Fe-based intermetallic compound having an average thickness of 0.05 μm to 3.0 μm. 6. The plated steel sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the steel sheet includes an internally oxidized layer that is provided in a surface layer area on an interface side between the steel sheet and the plating layer. 7. The plated steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the chemical composition of the plating layer further includes, by mass %: Sb: 0.50% or less; Pb: 0.50% or less; Cu: 1.00% or less; Sn: 1.00% or less; Ti: 1.00% or less; Sr: 0.50% or less; Ni: 1.00% or less; Mn: 1.00% or less; and Fe: 2.00% or less. 8. The plated steel sheet according to claim 7 , wherein in the cross section of the plating layer in the thickness direction, the area ratio of the lamellar structure is 50% to 90%. 9. The plated steel sheet according to claim 7 , further comprising an alloy layer that is provided between the plating layer and the steel sheet and is formed of an Al—Fe-based intermetallic compound having an average thickness of 0.05 μm to 3.0 μm. 10. The plated steel sheet according to claim 7 , wherein the steel sheet includes an internally oxidized layer that is provided in a surface layer area on an interface side between the steel sheet and the plating layer. 11. The plated steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein in the cross section of the plating layer in the thickness direction, the area ratio of the lamellar structure is 50% to 90%. 12. The plated steel sheet according to claim 11 , wherein in the cross section of the plating layer in the thickness direction, the area ratio of the lamellar structure is 70% to 90%. 13. The plated steel sheet according to claim 12 , further comprising an alloy layer that is provided between the plating layer and the steel sheet and is formed of an Al—Fe-based intermetallic compound having an average thickness of 0.05 μm to 3.0 μm. 14. The plated steel sheet according to claim 12 , wherein the steel sheet includes an internally oxidized layer that is provided in a surface layer area on an interface side between the steel sheet and the plating layer. 15. The plated steel sheet according to claim 11 , further comprising an alloy layer that is provided between the plating layer and the steel sheet and is formed of an Al—Fe-based intermetallic compound having an average thickness of 0.05 μm to 3.0 μm. 16. The plated steel sheet according to claim 11 , wherein the steel sheet includes an internally oxidized layer that is provided in a surface layer area on an interface side between the steel sheet and the plating layer. 17. The plated steel sheet according to claim 1 , further comprising an alloy layer that is provided between the plating layer and the steel sheet and is formed of an Al—Fe-based intermetallic compound having an average thickness of 0.05 μm to 3.0 μm. 18. The plated steel sheet according to claim 17 , wherein the steel sheet includes an internally oxidized layer that is provided in a surface layer area on an interface side between the steel sheet and the alloy layer. 19. The plated steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the steel sheet includes an internally oxidized layer that is provided in a surface layer area on an interface side between the steel sheet and the plating layer.
