Hot-dip plated steel sheet

A hot-dip plated steel sheet, comprising:

• a steel sheet having first and second surfaces on respective opposite sides of the steel sheet, and a hot-dip plated layer formed on at least the first surface of the steel sheet, wherein
• the hot-dip plated layer, in terms of average composition, contains 4 to 22 mass % of Al and 1.0 to 10 mass % of Mg with a remainder including Zn and impurities,
• the hot-dip plated layer includes a pattern portion and a non-pattern portion,
• an element concentrated region containing one or more elements M of Sb, Pb, Sn, Ca, Co, Mn, P, B, Bi, Cr, Sc, Y, Ni, Ti, Zr, Mo, W, REM, Hf, and C, and an interface alloy layer containing Fe and Al are present at an interface between the steel sheet and the hot-dip plated layer in the pattern portion,
• an average concentration of each of the one or more elements M contained in the hot-dip plated layer present in the pattern portion and each of the one or more elements M contained in the element concentrated region is individually 0.0010 to 2 mass %, and
• wherein either:
• each of the one or more elements M contained in the element concentrated region has a concentration, on a mass basis, of two or more times the respective concentration of each of the one or more elements M that is present, on a mass basis, in the hot-dip plated layer present in the pattern portion, or
• each of the one or more elements M is unevenly distributed such that each of the one or more elements M is present in the element concentrated region and each of the one or more elements M is not detected from the pattern portion other than the element concentrated region.
