[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 the field of automobile manufacturing. However, the yield ratio (the ratio of yield strength to tensile strength) of dual-phase steel is relatively high, which limits its formability to some extent. Especially in the production process of galvanized steel strip, how to reduce the yield ratio while ensuring the strength has become a technical problem in the industry.

[0003] At present, the methods for improving the yield ratio mainly include adjusting the chemical composition and optimizing the heat treatment process, but these methods often cannot balance the strength and formability.
