Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a galvanized steel sheet, a member made from the galvanized steel sheet, and a method of producing same.
  • anti-crash properties in addition to excellent anti-crash properties in the event of a collision while a vehicle is in motion.
  • steel sheets used as material of automotive components are often galvanized. Therefore, developing galvanized steel sheets that have high strength as well as excellent anti-crash properties is desirable.
  • JP 3887235 B (PTL 1) describes:
  • JP 5953693 B (PTL 2) describes:
  • JP 6052472 B (PTL 3) describes:
  • YS yield stress
  • TS and YS of a steel sheet generally reduces formability, and particularly ductility, strain hardenability, and hole expansion formability. These properties correlate with a member's resistance to cracking in bending crush tests and axial crush tests that simulate crash tests. Therefore, when steel sheets having higher TS and YS are applied to the impact energy absorbing members of automobiles, the steel sheets are not only more difficult to form, but also crack in tests that simulate crash tests. In other words, actual impact absorption energy is not as high as might be assumed from the YS value. Therefore, the impact energy absorbing members are currently limited to steel sheets having a TS of 590 MPa grade. Strain hardenability and hole expansion formability are correlated with stretch formability and stretch flangeability, respectively.
  • the steel sheets described in PTL 1-3 have TS: 980 MPa or more, and cannot be said to have high YS, excellent ductility, strain hardenability, and hole expansion formability.
  • the present disclosure was developed in view of the current situation mentioned above, and it would be helpful to provide a galvanized steel sheet having TS: 980 MPa or more, high YS, excellent ductility, strain hardenability, and hole expansion formability, and an advantageous method of producing same.
  • the inventors conducted intensive studies to solve the technical problem outlined above.
  • a galvanized steel sheet comprising a base steel sheet and a galvanized layer on a surface of the base steel sheet, wherein the base steel sheet comprises:
  • a method of producing a galvanized steel sheet comprising:
  • a method of producing a member wherein the galvanized steel sheet of any one of aspects 1 to 8 is subjected to at least one of a forming process and a joining process to make the member.
  • the galvanized steel sheet having a TS of 980 MPa or more, high YS, excellent ductility, strain hardenability, and hole expansion formability is obtainable. Further, the member made from the galvanized steel sheet of the present disclosure has high strength and excellent anti-crash properties, and is therefore extremely advantageous for use in impact energy absorbing members of automobiles.
