Abstract

Provided are a high-strength hot-dip galvanized steel sheet having excellent formability and a tensile strength of 440 MPa or more and a method for manufacturing the same. A steel sheet has a microstructure containing a ferrite phase having an area fraction of 60% or more, a pearlite phase having an area fraction of 20% to 30%, and a bainite phase having an area fraction of 1% to 5%, the area fraction of a cementite phase present in a grain of the ferrite phase being 5% or less. Upon manufacture, a hot-rolled sheet or a cold-rolled sheet is heated to a temperature of 650° C. or higher at an average heating rate of 10° C./s or more, is held at a temperature of 700° C. to (Ac3-5)° C. for ten seconds or more, is cooled to a temperature of 300° C. to 500° C. at an average cooling rate of 10° C./s to 200° C./s, is held at a temperature of 300° C. to 500° C. for 30 seconds to 300 seconds, and is then hot-dip galvanized.
