Abstract
A hot dip galvannealed steel sheet comprising a base steel sheet and a plating layer. The base steel sheet has a predetermined chemical composition by mass %. An existence ratio ER of internal oxides identified under predetermined conditions by observation of a cross-section of the base steel sheet is 40 % or less and an interval I of internal oxides is 300 μm or more. The hot dip galvannealed steel sheet is excellent in appearance.

- wherein:
- in a field of observation within a range of 2 mm along a surface direction of the base steel sheet, a cross-section of the base steel sheet vertical to a rolling direction is examined, grain boundary type internal oxides contained in the cross-section within a range of 0.5 μm or more and 5.0 μm or less in a depth direction from a surface of the base steel sheet are identified, and the identified internal oxides are projected on the surface of the base steel sheet,
