Abstract
A Zn-Al hot-dip galvanized coating on a steel sheet may exhibit intergranular corrosion and be degraded due to the Al's secular enrichment in the grain boundaries of coating. This is prevented in accordance with the present invention by the galvanizing bath composition which contains from 0.15 to 10% of Al, from 0.1 to 1% of Sb, from 0.01 to 2% of Si, and the balance being Zn and unavoidable impurities such as Pb, Sn, and Cd in an amount less than 0.02%, and additionally contains at least from 0.01 to 1% of at least one member selected from the group consisting of Mg and mischmetal.
