Abstract
A high strength galvanized steel sheet is provided comprising steel containing C: 0.06% or more and 0.20% or less, Si: less than 0.50%, Mn: 0.5% or more and less than 2.0%, P: 0.05% or less, S: 0.02% or less, Al: 0.60% or more and 2.00% or less, N: less than 0.004%, Cr: 0.10% or more and 0.40% or less and B: 0.003% or less, satisfying the relationships 0.8≦Mneq≦2.0 and Mneq+1.3[% Al]≧2.8, and a microstructure containing a ferrite phase and a second phase whose volume fraction is 15% or less, the second phase having a martensite phase whose volume fraction is 3% or more, a retained austenite phase whose volume fraction is 3% or more and a sum of the volume fractions of a pearlite phase and a bainite phase being equal to or less than the volume fraction of the martensite phase and the volume fraction of the retained austenite phase.
