Abstract

There is provided a high-strength galvanized steel sheet and a relatively low-strength galvanized steel sheet that undergoes complex forming, a galvanized steel sheet that exhibits consistently excellent press formability and that generates no hazardous fumes during welding as well as a manufacturing method therefor. The galvanized steel sheet has an oxide layer on the surface, where the oxide layer has an average thickness of 20 nm or more, and the oxide layer contains 30 mg/m 2 or more of Zn, 1.0 mg/m 2 or more of S, and 50 mg/m 2 or more and 1,000 mg/m 2 or less of polyethylene particles having an average particle size of 5.0 μm or less.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A galvanized steel sheet comprising an oxide layer disposed on a surface of the galvanized steel sheet, the oxide layer (i) having an average thickness of 20 nm or more, and (ii) comprising 30 mg/m 2 or more of Zn, 1.0 mg/m 2 or more of S, and in range of 50 mg/m 2 or more and 1,000 mg/m 2 or less of polyethylene particles having an average particle size of 5.0 μm or less.

2. The galvanized steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the oxide layer includes a sulfate group and a hydroxy group.

3. The galvanized steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the oxide layer further comprises in a range of 0.2 mg/m 2 or more and 10 mg/m 2 or less of P.

4. The galvanized steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the galvanized steel sheet is selected from the group consisting of a galvannealed steel sheet, a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet, and an electrogalvanized steel sheet.

5. A method for manufacturing the galvanized steel sheet according to claim 1 , the method comprising bringing a galvanized steel sheet into contact with an acidic solution comprising 3 g/L or more of sulfate ions, 3 g/L or more of Zn ions, and 0.10 g/L or more of polyethylene particles.

6. The method for manufacturing the galvanized steel sheet according to claim 5 , wherein the acidic solution has a pH in a range of 2 to 6 and a temperature in a range of 20° C. to 80° C.

7. The method for manufacturing the galvanized steel sheet according to claim 5 , wherein the acidic solution further comprises an oxidizing agent.

8. The method for manufacturing the galvanized steel sheet according to claim 5 , wherein a contact time between the galvanized steel sheet and the acidic solution is in a range of 1 second or more and 500 seconds or less.

9. The method for manufacturing the galvanized steel sheet according to claim 5 , further comprising, after bringing the galvanized steel sheet into contact with the acidic solution, bringing the galvanized steel sheet into contact with a solution comprising 0.01 g/L or more of P ions.

10. A galvanized steel sheet comprising an oxide layer disposed on a surface of the galvanized steel sheet, the oxide layer (i) having an average thickness of 20 nm or more, and (ii) comprising 30 mg/m 2 or more of Zn, 1.0 mg/m 2 or more of S, and in range of 50 mg/m 2 or more and 1,000 mg/m 2 or less of polyethylene particles having an average particle size of 5.0 μm or less,
wherein the oxide layer includes a sulfate group and a hydroxy group.

11. The galvanized steel sheet according to claim 10 , wherein the oxide layer further comprises in a range of 0.2 mg/m 2 or more and 10 mg/m 2 or less of P.

12. The galvanized steel sheet according to claim 10 , wherein the galvanized steel sheet is selected from the group consisting of a galvannealed steel sheet, a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet, and an electrogalvanized steel sheet.

13. A method for manufacturing the galvanized steel sheet according to claim 10 , the method comprising bringing a galvanized steel sheet into contact with an acidic solution comprising 3 g/L or more of sulfate ions, 3 g/L or more of Zn ions, and 0.10 g/L or more of polyethylene particles.

14. The method for manufacturing the galvanized steel sheet according to claim 13 , wherein the acidic solution has a pH in a range of 2 to 6 and a temperature in a range of 20° C. to 80° C.

15. The method for manufacturing the galvanized steel sheet according to claim 13 , wherein the acidic solution further comprises an oxidizing agent.

16. The method for manufacturing the galvanized steel sheet according to claim 13 , wherein a contact time between the galvanized steel sheet and the acidic solution is in a range of 1 second or more and 500 seconds or less.

17. The method for manufacturing the galvanized steel sheet according to claim 13 , further comprising, after bringing the galvanized steel sheet into contact with the acidic solution, bringing the galvanized steel sheet into contact with a solution comprising 0.01 g/L or more of P ions.

18. A galvanized steel sheet comprising an oxide layer disposed on a surface of the galvanized steel sheet, the oxide layer (i) having an average thickness of 20 nm or more, and (ii) comprising 30 mg/m 2 or more of Zn, 1.0 mg/m 2 or more of S, in a range of 0.2 mg/m 2 or more and 10 mg/m 2 or less of P, and in range of 50 mg/m 2 or more and 1,000 mg/m 2 or less of polyethylene particles having an average particle size of 5.0 μm or less,
wherein the oxide layer includes a sulfate group and a hydroxy group.

19. The galvanized steel sheet according to claim 18 , wherein the galvanized steel sheet is selected from the group consisting of a galvannealed steel sheet, a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet, and an electrogalvanized steel sheet.

20. A method for manufacturing the galvanized steel sheet according to claim 18 , the method comprising:
bringing a galvanized steel sheet into contact with an acidic solution comprising 3 g/L or more of sulfate ions, 3 g/L or more of Zn ions, and 0.10 g/L or more of polyethylene particles; and
after bringing the galvanized steel sheet into contact with the acidic solution, bringing the galvanized steel sheet into contact with a solution comprising 0.01 g/L or more of P ions.
