Abstract
A base steel sheet has a hot-dip galvanized layer formed on a surface thereof, in which, in a steel sheet structure in a range of ⅛ thickness to ⅜ thickness centered around ¼ thickness of a sheet thickness from a surface, a volume fraction of a retained austenite phase is 5% or less, and a total volume fraction of phases of bainite, bainitic ferrite, fresh martensite, and tempered martensite is 40% or more, an average effective crystal grain diameter is 5.0 μm or less, a maximum effective crystal grain diameter is 20 μm or less, and a decarburized layer with a thickness of 0.01 μm to 10.0 μm is formed on a surface layer portion, in which a density of oxides dispersed in the decarburized layer is 1.0×10to 1.0×10oxides/m, and an average grain diameter of the oxides is 500 nm or less.
