Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a high-strength hot-dip galvanized steel sheet having excellent surface quality and electrical resistance spot weldability, and a method for manufacturing the same. A galvanized steel sheet according to an aspect of the present disclosure is a galvanized steel sheet including a base steel sheet and a zinc-based plating layer formed on a surface of the base steel sheet, wherein a ratio (a/b) of a hardness of a surface layer portion (a) to a hardness of an internal portion (b) of the base steel sheet may be less than 0.95.

Claims (15)

1. A galvanized steel sheet comprising:

a base steel sheet; and

a zinc-based plating layer formed on a surface of the base steel sheet,

wherein the base steel sheet includes a surface layer portion and an internal portion,

wherein a ratio (a/b) of a Vickers hardness of the surface layer portion (a) to a Vickers hardness of the internal portion (b) of the base steel sheet is less than 0.95,

wherein during spot welding, a length of a B-type LME crack generated at a shoulder portion of the spot weld is 100 μm or less and a C-type LME crack is not observed,

wherein the galvanized steel sheet has a powdering property in which a length of the plating layer peeled off from the tape is 10 mm or less, and

wherein a peeling does not occur in a sealer bending test.

2. The galvanized steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein a coating weight of the zinc-based plating layer is 30 to 70 g/m 2 .

3. The galvanized steel sheet of claim 2 , wherein the base steel sheet has a composition containing, by weight ratio, 0.05 to 1.5% of C, 2.0% or less of Si, 1.0 to 30% of Mn, 3% or less of S—Al (acid-soluble aluminum), 2.5% or less of Cr, 1% or less of Mo, 0.005% or less of B, 0.2% or less of Nb, 0.2% or less of Ti, 0.2% or less of V, 0.1% or less of Sb+Sn+Bi, and 0.01% or less of N.

4. The galvanized steel sheet of claim 3 , wherein a thickness of the base steel sheet is 1.0 to 2.0 mm.

5. The galvanized steel sheet of claim 2 , wherein the surface layer portion contains internal oxides containing at least one of Si, Mn, Al, and Fe.

6. The galvanized steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the base steel sheet has a composition containing, by weight ratio, 0.05 to 1.5% of C, 2.0% or less of Si, 1.0 to 30% of Mn, 3% or less of S—Al (acid-soluble aluminum), 2.5% or less of Cr, 1% or less of Mo, 0.005% or less of B, 0.2% or less of Nb, 0.2% or less of Ti, 0.2% or less of V, 0.1% or less of Sb+Sn+Bi, and 0.01% or less of N.

7. The galvanized steel sheet of claim 6 , wherein a thickness of the base steel sheet is 1.0 to 2.0 mm.

8. The galvanized steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the surface layer portion contains internal oxides containing at least one of Si, Mn, Al, and Fe.
