Abstract
In a thickness range of which center is a ¼ thickness from the surface of a base steel sheet, a volume fraction of a ferrite phase is 0% to less than 50%, a volume fraction of the total of a hard structure composed of one or more of a bainite structure, a bainitic ferrite phase, a fresh martensite phase, and a tempered martensite phase is 50% or more, a volume fraction of a retained austenite phase is 0-8%, and a volume fraction of the total of a pearlite phase and a coarse cementite phase is 0-8%, at an interface between a plating layer and the base steel sheet, a Fe—Al alloy layer is provided, the Fe—Al alloy layer having an average thickness of 0.1-2.0 μm and a difference between a maximum thickness and a minimum thickness in the width direction of the steel sheet being within 0.5 μm.
