Abstract

The hot dip Zn galvanized steel sheet has excellent balance between tensile strength and ductility and excellent coating adhesion, an average composition of a base steel thereof includes: 0.05-0.25 mass % of C; not more than 2.0 mass % of Si; 1.0-2.5 mass % of Mn; and 0.005-0.10 mass % of Al, wherein the C content at the base steel surface layer portion right under a coating layer is not more than 0.02 mass %, the base steel structure contains not less than 50% of martensite phase, the martensite phase including both tempered martensite phase and fine size martensite phase, and the remaining portion of the base steel structure being formed by ferrite phase and residual austenite phase. A method of producing the hot dip Zn galvanizing steel sheet is described.
