Abstract

A hot-dip galvanized steel sheet includes a steel sheet and a hot-dip galvanized layer arranged on the steel sheet, in which the Si content and the Al content by mass % of components of the steel sheet satisfy a relationship 0.5<Si+Al<1.0, and a metallographic structure of the steel sheet satisfies a relationship of {(n 2 ) 2/3 ×d 2 }/{(n 1 ) 2/3 ×d 1 }×ln(H 2 /H 1 )<0.3 when the n 1 is the number of a MnS of a surface portion of the steel sheet, the d 1 μm is an average equivalent circle diameter of the MnS in the surface portion of the steel sheet, the H 1 GPa is a hardness of a martensite of the surface portion of the steel sheet, the n 2 is the number of the MnS of a center portion of the steel sheet, the d 2 μm is an average equivalent circle diameter of the MnS in the center portion of the steel sheet, and the H 2 GPa is the hardness of the martensite of the center portion of the steel sheet.
