Abstract The effect of dew points (− 50, − 10 and + 10 °C) on the galvanizing properties of a high-manganese twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel was studied. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), glow discharge optical emission spectrometry (GDOES) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used for microscopic observation and qualitative analysis of the interfacial layer between the steel surface and the zinc layer after hot-dip galvanizing. SEM analysis results show that three different morphologies of metallic oxides are formed on the interfacial layer under the different dew points. GDOES results show that Al is present in the molten zinc, reacting with Fe on the steel surface to form ­Fe2Al5, which can increase the galvanizing properties. XPS results show that the valence states of Mn in the interfacial alloy layer are ­Mn2+ and ­Mn4+, and the valence states of Fe are F ­ e0, ­Fe2+ and ­Fe3+. The experimental results show that the hot-dip galvanizing performance is the best at − 10 °C and the formation of Mn and Fe intermetallic oxides has a bad effect on hot-dip galvanizing behavior of the high-manganese TWIP steel. The types of the formed surface oxides (MnO, ­Mn3O4, ­Mn2O3, FeO, and F ­ e2MnO4) on the surface of the steel sheet are confirmed. It can obtain the best hot-dip galvanizing performance of the high-manganese TWIP steel by controlling the dew point from − 10 to − 5 °C.

1 Introduction In order to adapt the increasing demand of modern automobile industry on fuel efficiency, weight reduction is the preferred method without affecting the safety of the vehicle. According to the statistics [1], reducing the weight of each car by 10%, fuel consumption can be reduced by 3% to 7%. It has promoted the research on automotive body applications of high strength and ductility steel. Twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel not only is characterized by high strength, high ductility and high strain hardening, but also has two advantages of high energy absorption capacity and
