Abstract: Disclosed is a high-strength hot dip galvannealed steel sheet having high powdering resistance produced by employing such a constitution that a Fe—Zn alloy plated layer is provided on at least one side of a basis steel sheet and a region in which Al (atomic %)/Zn (atomic %)?0.10 is present in a thickness of 300 ? or more from the surface of the plated layer along the depth direction of the plated layer. Also disclosed is a hot dip galvannealed steel sheet whose formability is greatly improved by optionally specifying chemical composition and structure of the basis steel sheet.

Abstract: A high strength steel sheet contains, in percent by mass, 0.03 to 0.2% of C, 0.5 to 2.5% of Si, 1 to 3.0% of Mn, 0.01 to 0.5% of Cr, 0.01 to 0.5% of Mo, 0.02 to 0.15% of Al, 0.15% or less of Ti, 0.15% or less of No, and 0.15% or less of V; wherein the remainder includes Fe and inevitable impurities, and the content of Si satisfies the following formula (1), ??4.1?[Si]???2.4, ??(1) provided, ?=6.9×([C]+[Mn]/6+[Cr]/5+[Mo]/4+[Ti]/15+[Nb]/17+[V]/14)1/2 is given, wherein [ ] shows the quantity (mass percent) of each element contained in the steel sheet. The high strength steel sheet is improved in formability (particularly, elongation), and excellent in balance between strength and elongation.
