Abstract

A galvannealed steel sheet having excellent surface appearance and press formability, characterized in that a steel sheet comprises a galvannealed layer at least one surface of the steel sheet, the steel sheet comprising 0.001 to 0.005% by mass of C, 0.010 to 0.040% by mass of Si, 0.05 to 0.25% by mass of Mn, and 0.010 to 0.030% by mass of P, wherein the Si, Mn, and P satisfy the relation 0.030%≦Si+P+Mn/20≦0.070%, and its production method.

Claims (8)

1. A galvannealed steel sheet having excellent surface appearance and press formability, characterized in that a steel sheet comprises galvannealed layer at least one surface of the steel sheet, the steel sheet comprising 0.001 to 0.005% by mass of C, 0.010 to 0.040% by mass of Si, 0.05 to 0.25% by mass of Mn, and 0.010 to 0.10% by mass of Sb, and 0.010 to 0.030% by mass of P, wherein,

the Si, Mn, and P satisfy the relation 0.030%≦Si+P+Mn/20≦0.070%, and

the layer deposits in the amount of 25 to 60 g/m 2 , contains 9 to 14% of Fe, and has ζ phase with a thickness of 0.5 μm or less, and a Γ phase with a thickness of 1.5 μm or less.

2. A galvannealed steel sheet having excellent surface appearance and press formability according to claim 1 , wherein the steel sheet further comprises one or two of 0.010 to 0.060% by mass of Ti and 0.005 to 0.040% by mass of Nb.

3. A galvannealed steel sheet having excellent surface appearance and press formability according to claim 2 , wherein the Ti and Nb satisfy the relation 0.015%≦Ti+Nb≦0.050%, and 0.010%≧Ti−(48C/12+48S/32+48N/14).

4. A galvannealed steel sheet having excellent surface appearance and press formability, characterized in that a steel sheet comprises galvannealed layer at least one surface of the steel sheet, the steel sheet comprising 0.001 to 0.005% by mass of C, 0.010 to 0.040% by mass of Si, 0.05 to 0.25% by mass of Mn, and 0.10 to 0.030% mass of P, wherein the Si, Mn, P satisfy the relation 0.030%≦Si+P+Mn/20≦0.070%, wherein the layer deposits in the amount of 25 to 60 g/m 2 , contains 9 14% of Fe, and has a ζ phase with a thickness of 0.5 μm or less, and a Γ r phase with a thickness of 1.5 μm or less.

5. A galvannealed steel sheet having excellent surface appearance and press formability according to claim 4 , wherein the steel sheet further comprises one or two of 0.010 to 0.060% by mass of Ti and 0.005 to 0.040% by mass of Nb.

6. A galvannealed steel sheet having excellent surface appearance and press formability according to claim 5 , wherein the Ti and Nb satisfy the relation 0.015%≦Ti+Nb≦0.050%, and 0.010%≧Ti−(48C/12+48S/32+48N/14).
