Abstract

A method of manufacturing a high strength galvanized steel sheet has a first heating step including heating to 400° C. to 750° C. in an atmosphere containing O2: 0.1 to 20 percent and H2O: 1 to 50 percent and heating to 600° C. to 850° C. in an atmosphere containing O2: 0.01 to less than 0.1 percent and H2O: 1 to 20 percent is applied to a steel sheet, a second heating step includes holding the steel sheet in an atmosphere containing H2: 1 to 50 percent and having a dew point of 0° C. or lower at 750° C. to 900° C. for 15 to 600 s, cooling to a temperature of 450° C. to 550° C., and holding is performed at that temperature for 10 to 200 s, and a galvanization treatment is applied.
