Abstract

Influence of "JAZ*"(JFE Advanced Zinc), which was developed by JFE Steel, on press formability of high-strength galvannealed steel sheet was investigated. Friction coefficient of "JAZ*" is lower than that of conventional galvannealed steel sheet when it is applied to high-strength galvannealed steel sheet under simulating conditions of press forming of automobile body parts. In laboratory-scale press-forming tests, it was found that the press formability of high-strength galvannealed steel sheet improved by the application of "JAZ*." It can be estimated that the effect of "JAZ*" on press formability is 2-4% in elongation and 0.2-0.3 in Lankford value (r-value). In addition, high-strength galvanealed steel sheet with "JAZ*" technology shows excellent press formability in actual press-forming tests.
