Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An aluminum or aluminum alloy-coated steel material includes base steel; and a coating layer formed on a surface of the base steel and containing by mass % Mg: 6% to 10%, Si: 3% to 7%, Fe: 0.2% to 2%, Mn: 0.02% to 2%, and the balance as Al and incidental impurities, wherein the coating layer has pseudoternary eutectic microstructures of αAl—Mg 2 Si—(Al—Fe—Si—Mn) and an area ratio of the pseudoternary eutectic microstructures in the coating layer is at least 30%.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An aluminum alloy-coated steel material, comprising: base steel; and a coating layer formed on a surface of the base steel and consisting of by mass % Mg: 6% to 10%, Si: 3% to 7%, Fe: 0.2% to 2%, Mn: 0.02% to 2%, and the balance as Al and incidental impurities, wherein molar ratios Mg/Si, Mn/Fe, and Mg 2 Si/Al of the coating layer satisfy 1.7≦Mg/Si≦2.3, 0.1≦Mn/Fe≦1.0, and Mg 2 Si/Al≦1, respectively, and the coating layer has pseudoternary eutectic microstructures of αAl—Mg 2 Si—(Al—Fe—Si—Mn) and an area ratio of the pseudoternary eutectic microstructures in the coating layer is at least 30%. 2. A method of manufacturing an aluminum alloy-coated steel material of claim 1 , comprising: preparing a coating bath having a composition consisting of by mass % Mg: 6% to 10%, Si: 3% to 7%, Fe: 2% or less (inclusive of 0%), Mn: 0.02% to 2%, and the balance as Al and incidental impurities; immersing a steel material to be subjected to coating treatment in the coating bath temperature at (melting point of the coating bath+20° C.) to 750° C. for a period of 0.5 second or longer; and cooling the steel material at cooling rate of 20° C./second or higher.
