Abstract

The present invention relates to a hot-rolled steel sheet for a high strength galvanized steel sheet, having excellent surface quality, and a method for producing the same, the hotrolled steel sheet comprising, by weight %: C: 0.08 to 0.2%, Si: 0.03 to 0.15%, Mn: 1.4 to 2%, P: 0.001 to 0.05%, S: 0.001 to 0.03%, Al: 0.002 to 0.05%, and the remainder being Fe and unavoidable impurities. The weight ratio of Mn/Si is 20 to 30, the weight ratio of C/Si is 1 to 5, and the weight ratio of Si/P is 3 to 10. The hot-rolled steel sheet has a microstructure consisting of, in area fraction, 10 to 40% of bainite, 20 to 30% of pearlite and 40 to 60% of ferrite, and includes a ternary eutectic compound of FeO, Fe 2 SiO 4 and Fe 3 (PO 4 ) 2 formed within 50 μm from the surface.

Claims (14)

1. A hot-rolled steel sheet characterized in that it comprises, by weight %, C: 0.08 to 0.2%, Si: 0.03 to 0.15%, Mn: 1.4 to 2%, P: 0.001 to 0.05%, S: 0.001 to 0.03%, Al: 0.002 to 0.05%, the remainder Fe and other unavoidable impurities, wherein the weight ratio of Mn/Si is 20 to 30, the weight ratio of C/Si is 1 to 5, and the weight ratio of Si/P is 3 to 10, a microstructure consists of, in an area fraction, 10 to 40% of bainite, 20 to 30% of pearlite and 40% to 60% of ferrite, and a ternary eutectic compound of FeO, Fe 2 SiO 4 and Fe 3 (PO 4 ) 2 is formed within 50 μm from the surface.

2. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , characterized in that said steel sheet further comprises, by weight %, one or two or more selected from the group consisting of N: 0.01% or less (excluding 0), Ti: 0.02% or less (excluding 0), Cu: 0.1% or less (excluding 0), Ni: 0.1% or less (excluding 0), Cr: 0.1% or less (excluding 0), V: 0.01% or less (excluding 0) and Mo: 0.08% or less (excluding 0).

3. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , characterized in that the number of sand type scales having a point shape formed on both surfaces of said steel sheet is an average of 0.1 pieces/m 3 or less.

4. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , characterized in that said steel sheet comprises a zinc plated layer.

5. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , characterized in that said steel sheet has a tensile strength of 540 to 670 MPa, a yield strength of 400 to 600 MPa, and an elongation of 16 to 30%.

6. A method for producing a hot-rolled steel sheet, comprising steps of

heating a slab comprising, by weight %, C: 0.08 to 0.2%, Si: 0.03 to 0.15%, Mn: 1.4 to 2%, P: 0.001 to 0.05%, S: 0.001 to 0.03%, Al: 0.002 to 0.05%, the remainder Fe and other unavoidable impurities at 1000 to 1250° C., wherein the weight ratio of Mn/Si is 20 to 30 and the weight ratio of C/Si is 1 to 5 and the weight ratio of Si/P is 3 to 10;

rough rolling the heated slab at 950 to 1090° C. to obtain a bar;

finish rolling said bar at a finish rolling temperature of 810 to 910° C. to obtain a hot-rolled steel sheet; and

coiling said hot-rolled steel sheet at a coiling temperature of 530 to 630° C.,

wherein a microstructure of said steel sheet consists of, in an area fraction, 10 to 40% of bainite, 20 to 30% of pearlite and 40% to 60% of ferrite, and a ternary eutectic compound of FeO, Fe 2 SiO 4 and Fe 3 (PO 4 ) 2 , is formed within 50 μm from the surface.

7. The method for producing the hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 6 , characterized in that said slab further comprises, by weight %, one or two or more selected from the group consisting of N: 0.01% or less (excluding 0), Ti: 0.02% or less (excluding 0), Cu: 0.1% or less (excluding 0), Ni: 0.1% or less (excluding 0), Cr: 0.1% or less (excluding 0), V: 0.01% or less (excluding 0) and Mo: 0.08% or less (excluding 0).

8. The method for producing the hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 6 , characterized in that said coiling temperature is 570 to 590° C.

9. The method for producing the hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 6 , further comprising a step of forming a zinc plated layer after said coiling step.
