  • Patent number: 10113220
    Abstract: A high strength hot dipped galvanized steel sheet is provided. By controlling the amount of addition of Ti instead of the addition of Nb or B, it is possible to obtain an effect of retarding recrystallization and grain growth even if annealing by a continuous annealing process in a temperature range of the general annealing temperature of 720° C. to a temperature of the lower of 800° C. or Ac3 temperature. By controlling the rolling and heat treatment conditions, it is possible to control the ferrite phase rate, grain size of the low temperature transformed phases, ratio of average values of the nano hardnesses of the ferrite phase and low temperature transformed phases, and fluctuations of hardnesses of the low temperature transformed phases in a composite structure steel of ferrite and low temperature transformed phases and obtain a high strength hot dipped galvanized steel sheet.

  • Publication number: 20130000796
    Abstract: High strength hot dipped galvanized steel sheet with little fluctuation in material quality at the time of production and excellent in shapeability is provided. By controlling the amount of addition of Ti instead of the addition of Nb or B, it is possible to obtain an effect of retarding recrystallization and grain growth even if annealing by a continuous annealing process in a temperature range of the general annealing temperature of 720° C. to a temperature of the lower of 800° C. or Ac3 temperature (easy annealing temperature region).
