Abstract

Provided is an HPF member having excellent bending characteristics and a hot-dip aluminum plated layer formed on a surface of a base steel sheet. The base steel sheet includes, in terms of wt %, 0.18-0.25% of C, 0.1-0.5% of Si, 0.9-1.5% of Mn, 0.03% or less of P, 0.01% or less of S, 0.01-0.05% of Al, 0.05-0.5% of Cr, 0.01-0.05% of Ti, 0.001-0.005% of B, 0.009% or less of N, the balance Fe and other impurities; a ferrite phase having a thickness within 50 μm is continuously or discontinuously formed inside a surface portion of the base steel sheet; the fraction of the surface portion occupied by the ferrite phase is 5% or less; and carbide materials having a size of 1 μm or less are scattered and distributed in the surface portion of the base steel sheet so as to occupy 90% or more of the overall carbide distribution.

Claims (12)

1. An HPF part, the HPF part comprising:

a base steel sheet; and

a hot dip aluminum plating layer formed on a surface of the base steel sheet,

wherein the base steel sheet comprises C: 0.18% to 0.25%, Si: 0.1% to 0.5%, Mn: 0.9% to 1.5%, P: 0.03% or less, S: 0.01% or less, Al: 0.01% to 0.05%, Cr: 0.05% to 0.5%, Ti: 0.01% to 0.05%, B: 0.001% to 0.005%, N: 0.0069% or less, a balance of Fe and other impurities by wt %;

a ferrite phase is continuously or discontinuously formed in a surface layer of the base steel sheet under the hot dip aluminum plating layer, the ferrite phase having a thickness of 50 μm or thinner and a percentage of the ferrite phase in the surface being 5% or less; and

carbide particles having a size of 1 μm or smaller are dispersively distributed in the surface layer of the base steel sheet so as to occupy 90% or greater in overall carbide particle distribution.

2. The HPF part of claim 1 , wherein an amount of carbide particles in a size range of 1 μm to 10 μm is 5 or less per 10 mm 2 in the surface layer.

3. The HPF part of claim 1 , wherein the base steel sheet is any one of a cold rolled steel sheet and a hot rolled steel sheet.

4. The HPF part of claim 1 , wherein the base steel sheet further comprises Mo+W: 0.001% to 0.5%.

5. The HPF part of claim 1 , wherein the base steel sheet further comprises at least one of Nb, Zr and V: within a range of 0.001% to 0.4%.

6. The HPF part of claim 1 , wherein the base steel sheet further comprises Cu+Ni: within a range of 0.005% to 2.0%.

7. The HPF part of claim 1 , wherein the base steel sheet further comprises at least one of Sb, Sn and Bi: 0.03% or less.
