Abstract

A high tensile-strength galvanized steel sheet includes C: at least 0.05% but less than 0.12%, Si: at least 0.01% but less than 0.35%, Mn: 2.0% to 3.5%, P: 0.001% to 0.020%, S: 0.0001% to 0.0030%, Al: 0.005% to 0.1%, N: 0.0001% to 0.0060%, Cr: more than 0.5% but not more than 2.0%, Mo: 0.01% to 0.50%, Ti: 0.010% to 0.080%, Nb: 0.010% to 0.080%, and B: 0.0001% to 0.0030%, the remainder being Fe and unavoidable impurities, wherein the high tensile-strength galvanized steel sheet has a microstructure that contains 20% to 70% by volume ferrite having an average grain size of 5 μm or less. The high tensile-strength galvanized steel sheet has a tensile strength of at least 980 MPa, and excellent formability and weldability.
