A high-formability, super-high-strength, hot-dip galvanized steel plate, the chemical composition of which comprises, based on weight percentage, C: 0.15-0.25 wt %, Si: 1.00-2.00 wt %, Mn: 1.50-3.00 wt %, P&#x2264;0.015 wt %, S&#x2264;0.012 wt %, Al: 0.03-0.06 wt %, N&#x2264;0.008 wt %, and the balance of iron and unavoidable impurities. The room temperature structure of the steel plate comprises 10-30% ferrite, 60-80% martensite and 5-15% residual austenite. The steel plate has a yield strength of 600-900 MPa, a tensile strength of 980-1200 MPa, and an elongation of 15-22%. Through an appropriate composition design, a super-high-strength, cold rolled, hot-dip galvanized steel plate is manufactured by continuous annealing, wherein no expensive alloy elements are added; instead, remarkable increase of strength along with good plasticity can be realized just by appropriate augment of Si, Mn contents in combination with suitable processes of annealing and furnace atmosphere control. In addition, the steel plate possesses good galvanization quality that meets the requirement of a super-high-strength, cold rolled, hot-dip galvanized steel plate for automobiles.
