Provided is a highly corrosion-resistant plated steel sheet having plating adhesion and resistance to liquid metal embrittlement. A highly corrosion-resistant plated steel sheet comprises a base steel sheet and a plated layer, which sequentially comprises an Fe—Al alloy layer and an MgZn.sub.2 layer from an interface with the base steel sheet.

The invention relates to a system and a method for the hot-dip galvanization of motor-vehicle components, preferably for mass-production hot-dip galvanization of a plurality of identical or similar motor-vehicle components, in particular in batches, preferably for batch galvanization, especially preferably for high-precision hot-dip galvanization.

The present invention relates to a method for coating a component of a turbomachine in a bath, in which method, the component is partially immersed in the bath containing a coating material; the component is rotated at least intermittently around an axis of rotation, which lies outside of the bath, during the at least partial immersion; the component is at most immersed partially over and beyond the rotation.

Red rust staining of Al/Zn coated steel strip in “acid rain” or “polluted” environments can be minimised by forming the coating as an Al—Zn—Si—Mg alloy coating with an OT:SDAS ratio greater than a value of 0.5:1, where OT is the overlay thickness on a surface of the strip and SDAS is the measure of the secondary dendrite arm spacing for the Al-rich alpha phase dendrites in the coating. Red rust staining in “acid rain” or “polluted” environments and corrosion at cut edges in marine environments can be minimised in Al—Zn—Si—Mg alloy coatings on steel strip by selection of the composition (principally Mg and Si) and solidification control (principally by cooling rate) and forming Mg.sub.2Si phase particles of a particular morphology in interdendritic channels.

An Al—Zn—Si—Mg alloy coated strip that has Mg.sub.2Si particles in the coating microstructure is disclosed. The distribution of Mg.sub.2Si particles is such that the surface of the coating has only a small proportion of Mg.sub.2Si particles or is at least substantially free of any Mg.sub.2Si particles.
