Abstract

There is provided a high-manganese steel with superior coating adhesion and a method of producing a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet from same. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a high-manganese steel is characterized by including, by weight, C: 0.3-1%, Mn: 8-25%, Al: 1-8%, Si: 0.1-3.0%, Ti: 0.01-0.2%, Sn: 0.06-0.2%, B: 0.0005-0.01%, with the remainder being Fe and inevitable impurities. The present disclosure can provide a high-manganese and hot-dip galvanized steel sheet with superior surface quality as well as with high strength and workability by preventing coating failures that may be caused by manganese.

Claims (12)

1. A hot-dip galvanized steel sheet comprising:

a steel sheet comprising: by weight, C: 0.3-1%, Mn: 8-25%, Al: 1-8%, Si: 0.1-3.0%, Ti: 0.01-0.2%, Sn: 0.06-0.2%, B: 0.0005-0.01%, with the remainder being Fe and inevitable impurities, wherein the steel sheet has an Sn-precipitate layer formed on a surface of the steel sheet; and

a galvanized layer formed on the Sn-precipitate layer of the steel sheet.

2. The hot-dip galvanized steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the steel sheet further comprises: by weight, at least one of Ni: 0.01 to 2% and Cr: 0.01 to 2.0%.

3. The hot-dip galvanized steel sheet of claim 2 , further comprising: an Fe—Al—Zn—Si—Ni based layer between the galvanized layer and the Sn-precipitate layer.

4. A method for producing a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet, the method comprising:

preparing a steel sheet comprising, by weight, C: 0.3-1%, Mn: 8-25%, a first Al: 1-8%, Si: 0.1-3.0%, Ti: 0.01-0.2%, Sn: 0.06-0.2%, B: 0.0005-0.01%, with the remainder being Fe and inevitable impurities;

forming an Sn-precipitate layer on a surface of the steel sheet by annealing the steel sheet under conditions having a dew point temperature of −60° C. to −30° C. and an annealing temperature of 750° C. to 850° C. to form an annealed steel sheet having the Sn-precipitate layer on the surface thereof; and

dipping the annealed steel sheet in a hot-dipped galvanizing bath at a dipping temperature of 480° C. to 520° C. to form a galvanized layer on the annealed steel sheet, wherein the hot-dipped galvanizing bath comprises: by weight, a second Al: 0.2-0.25%.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the steel sheet further comprises, by weight, at least one of Ni: 0.01 to 2% and Cr: 0.01 to 2.0%.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein, during the forming, the Sn-precipitate layer suppresses diffusion of the first Al, the Mn and the Si of the steel sheet onto the surface of the steel sheet during the annealing to thereby form a surface oxide layer having a thickness of less than 10 nm.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein, during the dipping, the surface oxide layer is deoxidized by the second Al in the hot-dipped galvanizing bath and an Fe—Al—Zn—Si—Ni based layer is formed between the galvanized layer and the Sn-precipitate layer.
