  • Patent number: 7914851
    Abstract: A spangle-free, hot-dip galvanized steel sheet, and a method and device for manufacturing the same. The hot-dip galvanized steel sheet is characterized in that a solidified zinc crystal of hot-dip galvanized layer has an average crystalline texture particle diameter of 10 to 88 ?m and there is no solidification traces of dendrites upon observing under a microscope at a magnification of 100×. The method comprises dipping a steel sheet in a bath of a zinc-coating solution containing 0.13 to 0.3% by weight of aluminum; air-wiping the steel sheet to remove an excess of the coating solution; spraying water or an aqueous solution on the air-wiped steel sheet, using a steel sheet temperature in the range of a hot-dip galvanization temperature to 419 ° C. as a spray initiation temperature and using a steel sheet temperature in the range of 417 ° C. to 415 ° C.

  • Publication number: 20090126837
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a Nb—Ti composite IF steel in which fine precipitates, such as CuS precipitates, having a size of 0.2 ?m or less are distributed. The distribution of fine precipitates in the Nb—Ti composite IF steel enhances the yield strength and lowers the in-plane anisotropy index. The nanometer-sized precipitates allow the formation of minute crystal grains. As a result, dissolved carbon is present in a larger amount in the crystal grain boundaries than within the crystal grains, which is advantageous in terms of room-temperature non-aging properties and bake handenability.
