Recently, there has been great concern regarding reduction of the weight of the automotive body and improvement of collision safety, which has encouraged active use of high-strength steel sheets (HSS) for automobiles.1,2) Various elements such as Si, Mn and Cr are added in order to obtain high strength and ductility3,4) in the manufacture of HSS. The HSS has also been applied to galvannealed components to obtain excellent anti-corrosion properties.5) The manufacturing process of the HSS typically includes recrystallization annealing in a continuous furnace controlled to an annealing temperature of more than 700°C in a 5–20 vol% H2−N2 gas atmosphere. In this atmosphere, both Cr and Mn should be thermodynamically oxidized as selective surface oxides, whereas Fe oxide can be reduced. It is well known that these selective surface oxides deteriorate the wettability of the HSS with molten Zn and lead to coating defects such as bare spots6–10) on the HSS in the hot-dip galvanizing process immediately after annealing. Various authors have so far reported the selective surface oxidation behavior on the surface of the HSS containing both Mn and Cr.11–13) However, they have not mentioned the relationship between the difference of the selective surface oxide and the wettability of the HSS with molten Zn. Furthermore, there Influence of Cr Addition on Selective Oxidation Behavior of Mn-Added High-Strength Steel Sheet
