Abstract

To provide a plated steel sheet for hot pressing, a hot pressing method for the plated steel sheet, and an automobile part made by the hot pressing method that has an excellent lubricity with less deposition amount and can improve formability and productivity in hot pressing work and also can improve chemical conversion treatability after hot press forming, there is provided an Al plating layer formed on one side or both sides of the steel sheet, the Al plating layer containing at least Al, and further containing one or more elements, at a total content of 0.02 to 2 mass %, selected from Mg, Ca, Sr, Li, Na, and K; and a surface coating layer laminated on the Al plating layer and containing at least ZnO.

Claims (39)

1. A plated steel sheet for hot pressing, comprising:

an Al plating layer formed on one side or both sides of the steel sheet, the Al plating layer containing at least Al, and further containing Si of 3 to 15 mass % and one or more elements, at a total content of 0.02 to 2 mass %, selected from Mg, Ca, Sr, Li, Na, and K; and

a surface coating layer laminated on the Al plating layer and containing at least ZnO, wherein

the Al plating layer contains a partially alloyed layer therein obtained by alloying a part of Al contained in the Al plating layer with Fe contained in the steel sheet during metal cover forming by hot-dip plating,

surface roughness of the Al plating layer is 0.4 to 1.0 μm as an arithmetic mean of roughness Ra,

an amount of the surface coating layer on one side of the steel sheet is, as an amount of metallic Zn, 0.3 to 1.1 g per m 2 , and

the steel sheet consisting of, in mass %,

C: 0.1 to 0.4%,

Si: 0.01 to 0.6%,

Mn: 0.5 to 3%,

Ti: 0.01 to 0.1%,

B: 0.0001 to 0.1,

P: 0.001 to 0.1%,

S: 0.001 to 0.1%,

Al: 0.001 to 0.1%,

N: 0.1% or less; and

optionally one or more of W, V, Nb, and Sb; and

the balance: Fe and impurities.

2. A hot pressing method for a plated steel sheet according to claim 1 , comprising:

heating the plated steel sheet including an Al plating layer formed on one side or both sides of the steel sheet, and a surface coating layer laminated on the Al plating layer and containing at least ZnO, the Al plating layer containing at least Al and further containing Si of 3 to 15 mass % and one or more elements, at a total content of 0.02 to 2 mass %, selected from Mg, Ca, Sr, Li, Na, and K; and

pressing and forming the heated plated steel sheet, wherein

the Al plating layer contains a partially alloyed layer therein obtained by alloying a part of Al contained in the Al plating layer with Fe contained in the steel sheet during metal cover forming by hot-dip plating,

surface roughness of the Al plating layer is 0.4 to 1.0 μm as an arithmetic mean of roughness Ra,

an amount of the surface coating layer on one side of the steel sheet is, as an amount of metallic Zn, 0.3 to 1.1 g per m 2 ,and

the steel sheet contains, in mass %,

C: 0.1 to 0.4%,

Si: 0.01 to 0.6%,

Mn: 0.5 to 3%,

Ti: 0.01 to 0.1%,

B: 0.0001 to 0.1,

P: 0.001 to 0.1%,

S: 0.001 to 0.1%,

Al: 0.001 to 0.1%,

N: 0.1% or less, and

optionally one or more of W, V, Nb, and Sb; and

the balance: Fe and impurities.

3. The hot pressing method for the plated steel sheet according to claim 2 , wherein, in heating the plated steel sheet, an average rate of temperature increase from 50° C. of a temperature state of the plated steel sheet to a temperature 10° C. lower than a maximum reaching temperature, is set 10 to 300° C. per second.

4. An automobile part manufactured by the hot pressing method according to claim 2 .

5. The automobile part according to claim 4 , having a mechanical strength of 1500 MPa or more.
