Abstract

A high strength galvanized steel sheet has a composition including, C: 0.02% or more and 0.30% or less, Si: 0.01% or more and 2.5% or less, Mn: 0.1% or more and 3.0% or less, P: 0.003% or more and 0.08% or less, S: 0.01% or less, Al: 0.001% or more and 0.20% or less, Ti: 0.03% or more and 0.40% or less and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities, and a zinc-coated layer having a coating weight per surface of 20 g/m 2 or more and 120 g/m 2 or less. The concentration ratio of C to Ti (C/Ti) in a portion within 10 μm from the surface of the base steel sheet is 0.8 or more and 1.5 or less, and the total amount of oxides of one or more selected from Fe, Si, Mn, P, Al and Ti formed in a surface portion within 100 μm from the surface of the base steel sheet is 0.05 g/m 2 or less.

1≦log( P H2 /P H2O )≦4  (1),

where P H2 represents hydrogen partial pressure (Pa) and P H2O represents water vapor partial pressure (Pa).

7. The method for manufacturing a high strength galvanized steel sheet according to claim 6 , the method further comprising performing alloying treatment after the galvanizing treatment has been performed by heating the galvanized steel sheet at a temperature of 450° C. or higher and 550° C. or lower such that the Fe content in the zinc-coated layer is in the range of 7% or more and 15% or less.

8. A method for manufacturing a high strength galvanized steel sheet, the method comprising: hot-rolling a steel having the chemical composition according to claim 2 ; performing cooling and coiling after finishing rolling has been performed; and subsequently performing continuous annealing and galvanizing treatment, wherein, when hot-rolling is performed, the finishing delivery temperature is 850° C. or higher and the coiling temperature is 540° C. or lower, in which the temperature of the base steel sheet when continuous annealing is performed is 600° C. or higher, and wherein the water vapor partial pressure (P H2O ) and the hydrogen partial pressure (P H2 ) in the furnace atmosphere when the continuous annealing is performed satisfy expression (1) below:
1≦log( P H2 /P H2O )≦4  (1),

where P H2 represents hydrogen partial pressure (Pa) and P H2O represents water vapor partial pressure (Pa).
