Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

To more reliably suppress LME and blowhole formation while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance. A plated steel sheet according to the present invention, includes: a steel sheet as a base material; a plating layer located on at least part of a surface of the steel sheet; and an oxide layer located on a surface of the plating layer, where a chemical composition of the plating layer is made up of prescribed components, and Zn and impurities as the balance, and when a position at a depth of 5 nm from an uppermost surface of the oxide layer is observed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), a value of an intensity ratio ([Al—O]+[Mg—O])/[Zn—O]) calculated from intensity of peaks respectively attributed to an Al—O bond, an Mg—O bond, and a Zn—O bond is 5.0 or more.
