Abstract

A Zn—Al—Mg-based hot-dip plated steel sheet includes a hot-dip plated layer formed on a surface of a steel sheet, in which the hot-dip plated layer contains, as an average composition, Al: 5 to 22 mass % and Mg: 1.0 to 10 mass %, with a remainder including Zn and impurities, and in a case where a 5 mm square cross section parallel to a surface of the hot-dip plated layer is exposed at any position of a 3t/4 position, a t/2 position, and a t/4 position from the surface with a thickness of the hot-dip plated layer represented by t, a ratio (B/A (%)) of an area fraction B of a [Zn phase] to a total area fraction A of a [Zn phase] and an [Al/MgZn 2 /Zn ternary eutectic structure] of a plating microstructure in at least one cross section is 20% or more.
