The invention provides high-strength thin-specification direct-plating steel based on a thin slab casting and rolling process and a making method thereof. The steel comprises the following chemical components in percentage by weight: C, 0.17-0.20%, Si, 0.09-0.25%, Mn, 0.90-1.40%, P, not more than 0.020%, S, not more than 0.010%, Als, 0.015-0.060%, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities. The process comprises the steps of molten iron desulfuration, bessemerize, argon blowing, LE furnace refining, continuous casting, descaling in a rotating way, soaking pit treatment, hydraulic jet descaling, seven-rack finish rolling, laminar cooling and reeling, wherein liquid core downward pressing is adopted in the step of continuous casting and the casting blank thickness is decreased to 50-55mm from 70-90mm; the discharging temperature of a soaking pit is 180-1200 DEG C to ensure that the temperature of blanks during the hydraulic jet descaling is between 1175-1190 DEG C and the temperature of a hydraulic jet descaling collecting pipe is 32-38 MPa; and the average cooling speed of laminar cooling after the seven-rack finish rolling is 30-60 DEG C/s.
