Abstract

Provided is a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet to be used for home appliances, vehicles, and the like, and having excellent surface appearance and low-temperature bonding brittleness. The hot-dip galvanized steel sheet includes: a base steel sheet; and a hot-dip galvanized layer formed on the base steel sheet. A surface of the base steel sheet has a centerline average roughness (Ra) of 0.3 or more, a roughness skewness (Rsk) of −1 or less, and a roughness kurtosis (Rku) of 6 or more.

Claims (12)

1. A hot-dip galvanized steel sheet having excellent surface appearance and low-temperature bonding brittleness, comprising:

a base steel sheet; and

a hot-dip galvanized layer formed on a surface of the base steel sheet,

wherein the surface of the base steel sheet has unevenness including a centerline average roughness (Ra) of 0.3 μm or more, a roughness skewness (Rsk) of −1 or less, and a roughness kurtosis (Rku) of 6 or more.

2. The hot-dip galvanized steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein a zinc grain (spangle) size of the hot-dip galvanized layer is 150 μm or less.

3. A method of manufacturing a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet having excellent surface appearance and low-temperature bonding brittleness, comprising operations of:

preparing a base steel sheet;

forming unevenness on a surface of the base steel sheet, the unevenness having a centerline average roughness (Ra) of 0.3 μm or more, a roughness skewness (Rsk) of −1 or less, and a roughness kurtosis (Rku) of 6 or more; and

forming a hot-dip galvanized layer by immersing the base steel sheet with the unevenness in a hot-dip galvanizing bath.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the forming of the unevenness includes: passing the base steel sheet between rolls on which unevenness is formed.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the unevenness formed on the rolls is formed by any one of SBT (Shot Blasting Texturing), LBT (Laser Beam Texturing), EDT (Electrical Discharging Texturing), and EBT (Electron Beam Texturing).

6. The method of claim 3 , further comprising: performing annealing heat-treatment of the base steel sheet for 30 to 180 seconds at 750 to 950° C. in a nitrogen atmosphere containing 5 to 40 vol% of hydrogen, before the immersing.
