In this study, the deformation performance of galvanized deep drawing steel is investigated depending on coating thickness and forming limit of non-alloy pure zinc coated steel. Regarding to this; 100 and 150 g/m 2 Zn-coated samples are used to see the relevance with finite element analysis. To determine the deformation condition of Zn coating the samples were prepared at different elongation levels, then the samples are examined with surface views and cross-sectional analyses with scanning electron microscope to observe the amount of deformation at the onset of crack in the zinc coating cross-section. The change of zinc coating with elongation at cross-section region of the material will be investigated via microstructural analyses. It is aimed to determine the most suitable zinc coating level depending on the deep drawing amount in interstitial free (IF) steel usage. Furthermore, the performance of zinc coating will be investigated with finite element analyses with the goal of validating experimental results. Depending on the results of this study, the influence of zinc coating for a physical component will be carried out as a new study.
