AI Technical Summary
High-strength hot-dip galvanized steel sheets face challenges with hydrogen embrittlement and reduced bendability due to hydrogen penetration during manufacturing, leading to potential cracking in automobile components, which existing technologies do not adequately address.
A galvanized steel sheet with a specific microstructure and composition, including a base steel sheet with a high percentage of tempered martensite and controlled carbide size, and a galvanizing process that minimizes hydrogen retention, ensuring excellent hydrogen embrittlement resistance and bendability.
The solution achieves a tensile strength of 980 MPa or more, a yield ratio of 0.60 or more, and excellent hydrogen embrittlement resistance, reducing the risk of cracking and maintaining high bendability, making it suitable for automotive applications.
