Abstract

Provided is a hot press-formed (HPF) member with excellent powdering resistance at the time of press forming. The HPF member includes a hot-dip coating layer containing Al on a surface of a base steel sheet. The base steel sheet includes, based on wt %, 0.18-0.25% of C, 0.1-1.0% 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 the other impurities. The hot-dip coating layer comprises a soft diffusion layer and a hard alloy layer. The alloy layer has a Tau phase in the range of 10-30%, in terms of area percent.

Claims (13)

1. An HPF part comprising:

a base steel sheet comprising C: 0.18% to 0.25%, Si: 0.1% to 1.0%, 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: 0.009% or less, and a balance of Fe and other impurities by wt %; and

a hot-dip plated layer formed on a surface of the base steel sheet, the hot-dip plated layer comprising a soft diffusion layer and a hard alloyed layer,

wherein a thickness ratio of the alloyed layer/the diffusion layer in the hot-dip plated layer satisfies 1.5 to 3.0;

the alloyed layer comprises Fe 2 Al 5 matrix phase and a tau phase comprised of Fe—Al based alloy phase, and in the alloyed layer, the tau phase exists at area % within a range of 10% to 30% in a vertical cross-section of the alloyed layer; and

the tau phase comprises Si of 10% or greater and Cr of 0.2% or greater by wt % thereof and the alloyed layer has a thickness of 35 μm or less.

2. The HPF part of claim 1 , wherein the base steel sheet is a cold rolled steel sheet or a hot rolled steel sheet.

3. The HPF part of claim 1 , wherein the tau phase comprises Si: 10% to 12%, Mn+Cr: 1.3% to 2.0% and a balance of Fe and Al by wt % thereof.

4. The HPF part of claim 1 , wherein the tau phase is formed on a boundary between the alloyed layer and the diffusion layer and inside the alloyed layer.

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

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

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

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