Abstract

The present invention relates to an ultra-high strength, hot-dip galvanized steel sheet having excellent surface quality and coating adherence and to a method for manufacturing thereof, the ultra-high strength, hot-dip galvanized steel sheet comprising: 0.1-0.3% by weight carbon (C); 0.1-2.0% by weight silicon (Si); 0.005-1.5% by weight aluminum (Al); 1.5-3.5% by weight manganese (Mn); 0.04% by weight or less phosphorus (P) (excluding 0% by weight); 0.015% by weight or less sulphur (S) (excluding 0% by weight); 0.02% by weight or less nitrogen (N) (excluding 0% by weight); the balance being Fe; and other inevitable impurities, and further comprising 0.01 wt.% to 0.07 wt.% of at least one kind of element selected from the group consisting of bismuth (Bi), tin (Sn) and antimony (Sb).

Claims (10)

1. An ultra-high strength, hot-dip galvanized steel sheet having high surface quality and coating adhesion, comprising a base steel sheet and a galvanized layer formed on the base steel sheet,

wherein the base steel sheet comprises, by wt %, carbon (C): 0.1% to 0.3%, silicon (Si): 0.1% to 2.0%, aluminum (Al): 0.005% to 1.5%, manganese (Mn): 1.5% to 3.5%, phosphorus (P): 0.04% or less (excluding 0%), sulfur (S): 0.015% or less (excluding 0%), nitrogen (N): 0.02% or less (excluding 0%), at least one element selected from the group consisting of bismuth (Bi), tin (Sn), and antimony (Sb) in an amount of 0.01 wt % to 0.07 wt %, and a balance of iron (Fe) and inevitable impurities,

wherein a degree of concentration of at least one element selected from the group consisting of Bi, Sn, and Sb in a region of the base steel sheet defined as being from an interface between the base steel sheet and the galvanized layer to a depth of 0 to 0.1 μm, is 2 times to 20 times a degree of concentration of the at least one element in a region of the base steel sheet, defined to be within a depth range of 0.2 μm or greater.

2. The ultra-high strength, hot-dip galvanized steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the base steel sheet has a total content of Si and Al in an amount of 1.0 wt % or greater.

3. The ultra-high strength, hot-dip galvanized steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the base steel sheet has a microstructure comprising, by area fraction, polygonal ferrite in an amount of 5% or less, acicular ferrite in an amount of 70% or less, acicular retained austenite in an amount of 25% or less (excluding 0%), and a balance of martensite.

4. The ultra-high strength, hot-dip galvanized steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the galvanized layer has an Fe content within a range of 7 wt % to 13 wt %.

5. The ultra-high strength, hot-dip galvanized steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the ultra-high strength, hot-dip galvanized steel sheet has a tensile strength of 780 MPa or greater.

6. The ultra-high strength, hot-dip galvanized steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the base steel sheet further comprises, by wt %, at least one element selected from the group consisting of titanium (Ti): 0.005% to 0.1%, niobium (Nb): 0.005% to 0.1%, vanadium (V): 0.005% to 0.1%, zirconium (Zr): 0.005% to 0.1%, and tungsten (W): 0.005% to 0.5%.

7. The ultra-high strength, hot-dip galvanized steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the base steel sheet further comprises, by wt %, at least one element selected from the group consisting of molybdenum (Mo): 1% or less (excluding 0%), nickel (Ni): 1% or less (excluding 0%), copper (Cu): 0.5% or less (excluding 0%), and chromium (Cr): 1% or less (excluding 0%).

8. The ultra-high strength, hot-dip galvanized steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the base steel sheet further comprises, by wt %, at least one element selected from the group consisting of calcium (Ca): 0.01% or less (excluding 0%), and boron (B): 0.01% or less (excluding 0%).
