Steel sheet having excellent resistance to liquid metal embrittlement cracks and method for manufacturing the same

Abstract:

Provided is a steel sheet having excellent resistance to liquid metal embrittlement cracks and a method for manufacturing the same. The steel sheet includes, by weight %, 0.04% to 0.35% of C, 0.99% or less of Al+Si, 3.5% to 10% of Mn, 0.05% or less of P (excluding 0%), 0.02% or less of S (excluding 0%), and 0.02% or less of N (excluding 0%) with a remainder of Fe and other inevitable impurities, wherein the steel sheet comprises a microstructure comprising at least 10% of residual austenite, at least 60% of annealed martensite and 20% or less of alpha martensite and epsilon martensite, by volume fraction, and an average thickness of a Mn-depleted layer is at least 0.5 .mu.m from a product surface.
