  • Publication number: 20070190353
    Abstract: The present invention provides a hot dip galvanized composite high strength steel sheet excellent in shapeability and hole enlargement ability and a method of production of the same, that is, a hot dip galvanized composite high strength steel sheet excellent in shapeability and hole enlargement ability containing C: 0.01 to 0.3%, Si: 0.005 to 0.6%, Mn: 0.1 to 3.3%, P: 0.001 to 0.06%, S: 0.001 to 0.01%, Al: 0.01 to 1.8%, and N: 0.0005 to 0.01% and having a metal structure of ferrite and, by area rate, 5% to 60% of tempered martensite and a method of production of the same comprising hot rolling, then cold rolling a slab including the above ingredients, heating the sheet in the hot dip galvanization heating process to Ac1 l to Ac3+100° C., holding it there for 30 seconds to 30 minutes, then cooling it by a 1° C./s or higher cooling rate to 450 to 600° C., hot dip galvanizing it at that temperature, then cooling it at a 1° C.

  • Publication number: 20070095444
    Abstract: A high strength steel sheet excellent in formability which has a chemical composition in mass %: C: 0.03 to 0.20%, Si: 0.005 to 0.3%, Mn: 1.0 to 3.1%, P: 0.001 to 0.06%, S: 0.001 to 0.01%, N: 0.0005 to 0.01%, Al: 0.2 to 1.2%, Mo?0.5%, and the balance: Fe and inevitable impurities, with the proviso that the values of mass % for Si and Al satisfy the following formula (1): (0.0012×[objective value of TS]?0.29?[Si])/2.45<Al<1.5?3×[Si] . . . (1) wherein [objective value of TS] represents a design strength value for the steel sheet in an Mpa unit, and has a metal structure containing ferrite and martensite. The above high strength steel sheet is also excellent in formability and the capability of being chemically treated and that of being hot-dip zinc sheeted.
