Plated steel

Abstract

The plated steel of this case comprises: steel, a base plating layer disposed on the surface of the steel, and a Zn-based plating layer disposed on the surface of the aforementioned base plating layer. The Zn-based plating layer has a predetermined average chemical composition. The base plating layer contains Cr or Ni, and in the elemental distribution profile obtained by glow discharge luminescence analysis from the surface of the Zn-based plating layer toward the steel, when the maximum value of the Cr or Ni concentration is defined as 100% by mass, the maximum oxygen concentration in the range of Cr or Ni concentration of 5% or more is less than 1%.
