Abstract

Provided are a high-strength cold-rolled steel sheet and a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet comprising in % by weight: 0.05 to 0.3% of carbon (C); 0.6 to 2.5% of silicon (Si); 0.01 to 0.5% of aluminum (Al); 1.5 to 3.0% of manganese (Mn); and the remainder being Fe and unavoidable impurities, the steel sheet has a microstructure comprised of, in an area fraction, ferrite in an amount of 60% or less, lath-type bainite of 25% or more, martensite of 5% or more, and lath-type retained austenite in an amount of 5%, wherein the ferrite has an average grain diameter of 2 μm or less and the ferrite satisfies Fn2, defined by relational expression 1, is 89% or more and Fa5, defined by relational expression 2, is 70% or less.

Claims (13)

1. A cold-rolled steel sheet comprising:

in % by weight, 0.05 to 0.3% of carbon (C), 0.6 to 2.5% of silicon (Si), 0.01 to 0.5% of aluminum (Al), 1.5 to 3.0% of manganese (Mn), and the remainder being Fe, and unavoidable impurities; and

a microstructure comprising, in an area fraction, ferrite in an amount of 60% or less, lath bainite of 25% or more, martensite of 5% or more, and lath retained austenite in an amount of 5% or more,

wherein the ferrite has an average grain diameter of 2 μm or less, and

wherein the ferrite satisfies Fn2, defined by relational expression 1, being 89% or more and Fa5, defined by relational expression 2, being 70% or less:

Fn 2=[Number of ferrite grains of 2 μm or less/number of total ferrite grains]×100  [Relational expression 1]

Fa 5=[area of ferrite grains of 5 μm or greater/area of total ferrite grains]×100.  [Relational expression 2]

2. The cold-rolled steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein 2% by weight or less, excluding 0% by weight, of at least one of Cr, Ni, and Mo is additionally included.

3. The cold-rolled steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein 0.05% by weight or less, excluding 0% by weight, of Ti and 0.003% by weight or less, excluding 0% by weight, of B are additionally included.

4. The cold-rolled steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein a Ni or Fe plating layer is formed at a coating weight of 5 to 40 mg/m 2 on a surface of the cold-rolled steel sheet.

5. The cold-rolled steel sheet of claim 1 , further comprising: a hot-dip galvanized plating layer formed on a surface of the cold-rolled steel sheet, and a Ni or Fe plating layer formed at a coating weight of 100 mg/m 2 or greater between the cold-rolled steel sheet and the hot-dip galvanized plating layer.

6. The cold-rolled steel sheet of claim 5 , wherein the hot-dip galvanized plating layer includes an alloying hot-dip galvanized plating layer formed on a surface of the hot-dip galvanized plating layer.

7. The cold-rolled steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the ferrite includes lath ferrite ferrite.
