Abstract
Provided are a hot dip galvanized steel sheet comprising a base steel sheet wherein the base steel sheet has a predetermined composition and contains ferrite: 0% to 50%, retained austenite: 0% to 30%, tempered martensite: 5% or more, fresh martensite: 0% to 10%, and pearlite and cementite in total: 0% to 5%, remaining structures consist of bainite, when defining a region having a hardness of 90% or less of the hardness at a position of ¼ thickness to the base steel sheet side from an interface of the base steel sheet and a hot dip galvanized layer as a 'soft layer', there is a soft layer having a thickness of 10 μm or more at the base steel sheet side from the interface, the soft layer contains tempered martensite, and an increase rate in a thickness direction of an area % of tempered martensite from the interface to the inside of the base steel sheet inside the soft layer is 5.0%/μm or less, and a method for producing the same.
