This work studied the hot dip galvanizing behavior of three advanced high strength steels annealed under different protective atmospheres. The coating quality, surface oxides, and the mechanical property of steel matrix were examined. The experimental results show that annealing atmosphere can influence the galvanizability and thermodynamics calculation can predict the surface selective oxidation. It was shown for the first time in this work that annealing atmosphere may also influence the mechanical property of the steel matrix.
