Abstract
An exemplary embodiment in the present disclosure provides a hot-dip Zn—Al—Mg-based alloy-plated steel material having excellent corrosion resistance in a processed portion, and a method for manufacturing the same. The steel material includes: an iron substrate; and a hot-dip alloy-plated layer formed on the iron substrate, wherein the hot-dip alloy-plated layer contains, by wt %, more than 8% to 25% of Al, more than 4% to 12% of Mg, and a balance of Zn and inevitable impurities, a fraction of a MgZn2 phase in the hot-dip alloy-plated layer is 10 to 45 area %, cracks are formed inside the MgZn2 phase, and the number of cracks present per 100 μm in a direction perpendicular to a thickness direction of a steel sheet in a field of view in which the cracks are observed based on a cross section in the thickness direction of the steel sheet is 3 to 80.
