Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A high strength galvanized steel sheet excellent in coating adhesiveness is made from a base material that is a high strength steel sheet containing Si, Mn, and Cr. A method includes performing an oxidation treatment on steel containing Si, Mn, and Cr in an oxidation furnace under the condition that a selected exit temperature T, reduction annealing and a galvanizing treatment, or optionally, further an alloying treatment under conditions that heating is performed at a temperature of 460° C. or higher and 600° C. or lower for an alloying treatment time of 10 seconds or more and 60 seconds or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a high strength galvanized steel sheet excellent in terms of coating adhesiveness comprising: performing an oxidation treatment on steel containing Si, Mn, and Cr in an oxidation furnace under a condition that an exit temperature T satisfies expressions below, performing reduction annealing, and performing a galvanizing treatment without performing an alloying treatment: A=0.015T−7.6 (T≧507° C.), A=0 (T<507° C.), B=0.0063T−2.8 (T≧445° C.), B=0 (T<445° C.), [Si]+A×[Cr]≦B, where [Si]: Si content of the steel by mass %, and [Cr]: Cr content of the steel by mass %, wherein the oxidation furnace includes three or more zones in which atmospheres can be individually controlled and which are called oxidation furnace 1 , oxidation furnace 2 , oxidation furnace 3 and so on in ascending order of distance from the entrance of the furnace, in which atmospheres of the oxidation furnace 1 and the oxidation furnace 3 have an oxygen concentration of less than 1000 vol.ppm and the balance being N 2 , CO, CO 2 , H 2 O and inevitable impurities and the atmosphere of the oxidation furnace 2 has an oxygen concentration of 1000 vol.ppm or more and the balance being N 2 , CO, CO 2 , H 2 O and inevitable impurities. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein an exit temperature T 2 of the oxidation furnace 2 is (the exit temperature T−50)° C. or higher. 3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein an exit temperature T 1 of the oxidation furnace 1 is (the exit temperature T−350)° C. or higher and lower than (the exit temperature T−250)° C. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein an exit temperature T 1 of the oxidation furnace 1 is (the exit temperature T−350)° C. or higher and lower than (the exit temperature T−250)° C. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the steel has a chemical composition containing C: 0.01 mass % or more and 0.20 mass % or less, Si: 0.5 mass % or more and 2.0 mass % or less, Mn: 1.0 mass % or more and 3.0 mass % or less, Cr: 0.01 mass % or more and 0.4 mass % or less and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities. 6. A method of manufacturing a high strength galvanized steel sheet excellent in terms of coating adhesiveness comprising: performing an oxidation treatment on steel containing Si, Mn, and Cr in an oxidation furnace under a condition that an exit temperature T satisfies expressions below, performing reduction annealing, performing a galvanizing treatment, and performing an alloying treatment under conditions that heating is performed at a temperature of 460° C. or higher and 600° C. or lower for an alloying treatment time of 10seconds or more and 60 seconds or less: A=0.015T−7.6 (T≧507° C.), A=0 (T<507° C.), B=0.0063T−2.8 (T≧445° C.), B=0 (T<445° C.), [Si]+A×[Cr]≦B, where [Si]: Si content of the steel by mass %, and [Cr]: Cr content of the steel by mass %%, wherein the oxidation furnace includes three or more zones in which atmospheres can be individually controlled and which are called oxidation furnace 1 , oxidation furnace 2 , oxidation furnace 3 and so on in ascending order of distance from the entrance of the furnace, in which atmospheres of the oxidation furnace 1 and the oxidation furnace 3 have an oxygen concentration of less than 1000 vol.ppm and the balance being N 2 , CO, CO 2 , H 2 O and inevitable impurities and the atmosphere of the oxidation furnace 2 has an oxygen concentration of 1000 vol.ppm or more and the balance being N 2 , CO, CO 2 , H 2 O and inevitable impurities. 7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein an exit temperature T further satisfies: T≦−80[Mn]−75[Si]+1030, where [Si]: Si content of the steel by mass %, and [Mn]: Mn content of the steel by mass %. 8. The method for manufacturing a high strength galvanized steel sheet excellent in terms of coating adhesiveness according to claim 6 , wherein the steel has a chemical composition containing C: 0.01 mass % or more and 0.20mass % or less, Si: 0.5 mass % or more and 2.0 mass % or less, Mn: 1.0 mass % or more and 3.0mass % or less, Cr: 0.01 mass % or more and 0.4 mass % or less and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities. 9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein an exit temperature T 2 of the oxidation furnace 2 is (the exit temperature T−50)° C. or higher. 10. The method according to claim 6 , wherein an exit temperature T 2 of the oxidation furnace 1 is (the exit temperature T−350)° C. or higher and lower than (the exit temperature T−250)° C.
