[0002] Dual-phase steel is an advanced high-strength steel composed of ferrite and martensite, which has high strength, good formability and welding performance, and is widely used in fields such as automobile manufacturing. However, the yield ratio (the ratio of yield strength to tensile strength) of dual-phase steel is relatively high, which to a certain extent limits its formability. Especially in the production process of galvanized steel strip, how to reduce the yield ratio while ensuring strength has become a technical problem in the industry.
