Disclosed is a thick hot-rolled steel sheet which has a tensile strength of 440 to 640 MPa, preferably 490 to 590 MPa, an elongation of 20% or more, excellent uniformity in the thickness-wise direction, high strength, excellent processability, and excellent strength/toughness after a thermal treatment, and is therefore suitable for use as a structural member for an automobile, a construction machine or the like. Also disclosed is a method for producing the steel sheet. A steel material is provided, which contains 0.10 to 0.20% of C, in which the contents of Si, Mn, Al, P, S and N are adjusted within proper ranges, and which further contains 0.01 to 0.15% of Ti and 0.0010 to 0.0050% of B. The steel material is subj ected to the hot-rolling under the conditions of a rolling finishing temperature for the fmish rolling of 820 to 880°C. The resulting product is cooled at a cooling rate of 15 to 50°C/s and a cooling finishing temperature of 500 to 600°C, and is then wound-up in a coli-like shape. In this manner, the steel sheet can have a structure which is uniform in the thickness-wise direction and is composed of a bainitic ferrite phase. The steel sheet has excellent uniformity in the thickness-wise direction so that the fluctuation in the hardness in the thickness-wise direction falls within the range up to 10% above or below the average value, and has a tensile strength of 440 to 640 MPa and an elongation of 20% or more. The steel sheet may be subjected to a further thermal treatment, thereby producing a highly-strong, highly-tough, thick and large-sized structural member having a tensile strength of 980 MPa or more and a vTrs of -60°C or lower.

A plated plate formed by laminating an iron oxide layer and a layer of a plating material in the mentioned order on a bare surface of steel. A joint portion comprising metal iron or an iron alloy, by which the bare surface of steel and the layer of a plating material are joined together, is provided in the iron oxide layer, whereby a layer of a plating material of a high adhesion can be formed uniformly on the whole surface of the steel plate. A method of forming a layer of a plating material of a high adhesion easily by the hot-dipping can be provided with respect to, especially, even a steel plate, which is difficult to be subjected to hot-dipping, such as a high-tension steel plate and a stainless steel plate.

Provided are a thin high-strength cold-rolled steel sheet having small in-plane anisotropies and a method for producing the thin high-strength cold-rolled steel sheet. A steel having a composition containing, by mass, C: more than 0.20% and 0.45% or less, Si: 0.50% to 2.50%, Mn: 2.00% or more and less than 3.50%, and one or two elements selected from Ti: 0.005% to 0.100% and Nb: 0.005% to 0.100% is hot-rolled and subsequently cold-rolled at a rolling reduction of 30% or more. The resulting thin cold-rolled steel sheet is heated to 800°C to 950°C and subsequently cooled to a cooling-end temperature of 350°C to 500°C at a cooling rate of 5 °C/s or more to form a steel sheet having a microstructure including a martensite phase and a bainite phase such that the total proportion of the martensite phase and the bainite phase is 80% or more by volume. The steel sheet is heated to 700°C to 840°C and maintained at 700°C to 840°C, subsequently cooled to a cooling-end temperature of 350°C to 500°C at a cooling rate of 5 to 50 °C/s, and maintained within the above temperature range for 10 to 1800 s. This enables a microstructure including, by volume, 15% or more and 70% or less ferrite phase, more than 15% and 40% or less retained austenite phase, and 30% or less martensite phase to be formed. Furthermore, a retained austenite phase constituted by acicular and fine crystal grains having an average diameter of 2.0 µm or less and an aspect ratio of 2.0 or more can be formed. As a result, the thin high-strength cold-rolled steel sheet has excellent production consistency, a TS of 980 MPa or more, high ductility, and small in-plane anisotropies.
