Abstract

Hot-dip galvannealed sheet (GA) with high strength of $45kg/mm^2$ in tensile strength, has developed for automotive applications. However, for a successful application, the powdering behaviour of GA must be minimized. The powdering of galvannealed coatings was reduced as the silicon content in the steel increased. Rapid heating and rapid cooling rate during the galvannealing process improved the powdering resistance due to the suppression of not only the ξ phase, but also the $ \Gamma _1$, phase. An analysis of the Fe-Zn alloy phases and its relation to the powdering behaviour are discussed with SEM micrographs.
