Abstract

A galvannealed steel sheet having a superior spot weldability characteristic in which the steel sheet has a base steel sheet cold-rolled from a material containing 0.005 wt % or less of C, 0.005 to 0.05 wt % of Ti, 0.01 to 0.1 wt % of Al, 0.005 to 0.015 wt % of Nb and 0.0002 to 0.002 wt % of B. In the process for making, the hot-dip plating layer applied after the alloying heat treatment has an Fe content of from 9 wt % to 12 wt %.
