Abstract

Provided is a high-strength cold rolled steel sheet, a high-strength hot-dip galvanized steel sheet manufactured using the cold rolled steel sheet, and manufacturing methods therefor, the high-strength cold rolled steel sheet comprising, by wt %, 0.17-0.21% of carbon (C), 0.3-0.8% of silicon (Si), 2.7-3.3% of manganese (Mn), 0.3-0.7% of chromium (Cr), 0.01-0.3% of aluminum (Al), 0.01-0.03% of titanium (Ti), 0.001-0.003% of boron (B), 0.04% or less of phosphorus (P), 0.02% or less of sulfur (S), 0.01% or less of nitrogen (N) and the balance of iron (Fe) and other inevitable impurities, wherein the amounts of carbon (C), silicon (Si) and aluminum (Al) satisfy the following mathematical relation (1). [Mathematical relation (1)] [C]+([Si]+[Al])/5≤0.35% (wherein [C], [Si] and [Al] respectively mean the wt % of C, Si and Al.)

Claims (9)

1. A cold rolled steel sheet comprising:

by weight percent (wt %), 0.17 to 0.21% of carbon (C), 0.3 to 0.8% of silicon (Si), 2.7 to 3.3% of manganese (Mn), 0.3 to 0.7% of chromium (Cr), 0.01 to 0.3% of aluminum (Al), 0.01 to 0.03% of titanium (Ti), 0.001 to 0.003% of boron (B), 0.04% or less of phosphorus (P), 0.02% or less of sulfur (S), 0.01% or less of nitrogen (N), and a balance of iron (Fe) and other inevitable impurities, wherein the contents of carbon (C), silicon (Si), and aluminum (Al) satisfy Equation 1 below,

[C]+([Si]+[Al])/5≤0.35%  [Equation (1)]

wherein [C], [Si], [Al] refer to weight percents of C, Si, and Al, respectively; and

a microstructure consisting of: by area fraction, 3 to 7% of retained austenite, 5 to 15% of fresh martensite, and 5% or less (including 0%) of ferrite; by volume fraction, 1 to 3% of a cementite phase as a precipitate; and a balance of bainite or tempered martensite, wherein the cementite phase is distributed at least one of between laths of the bainite, in laths of the tempered martensite, and in a grain boundary of the tempered martensite.

2. The cold rolled steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the cold rolled steel sheet further includes 0.1% or less of copper (Cu), 0.1% or less of nickel (Ni), and 0.1% or less of molybdenum (Mo).

3. The cold rolled steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the cold rolled steel sheet further includes 0.03% or less of niobium (Nb) and 0.01% or less of vanadium (V).

4. The cold rolled steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the cold rolled steel sheet has a tensile strength of 1180 MPa or more, a yield ratio of 0.65 to 0.85, a hole expansion ratio of 25% or more (HER), and an elongation of 5 to 13%.

5. A hot-dip galvanized steel sheet comprising: the cold rolled steel sheet of claim 1 and a hot-dip zinc plating layer on a surface thereof.
