Abstract

A hot-dip galvanized steel sheet including: a hot-dip galvanizing layer on at least one side of a base steel sheet. The hot-dip galvanizing layer has a Fe content of more than 0% to 3.0% and an Al content of more than 0% to 1.0%. The hot-dip galvanized steel sheet includes a Fe—Al alloy layer provided on an interface between the hot-dip galvanizing layer and the base steel sheet and a fine-grain layer provided in the base steel sheet and directly in contact with the Fe—Al alloy layer. The Fe—Al alloy layer has a thickness of 0.1-2.0 μm. The fine-grain layer has an average thickness of 0.1-5.0 μm, includes a ferrite phase with an average grain diameter of 0.1-3.0 μm, and contains oxides of one or more out of Si and Mn, a maximum diameter of the oxides being 0.01-0.4 μm.
