Abstract

Provided is an ultra-high strength steel sheet having excellent phosphatability and bendability. The ultra-high strength steel sheet includes, by weight percentage (wt %), carbon (C): 0.08% to 0.2%, silicon (Si): 0.05% to 1.3%, manganese (Mn): 2.0% to 3.0%, phosphorus (P): 0.001% to 0.10%, sulfur (S): 0.010% or less, aluminum (Al): 0.01% to 0.1%, chromium (Cr): 0.3% to 1.2%, boron (B): 0.0010% to 0.0030%, titanium (Ti): 0.01% to 0.05%, nitrogen (N): 0.001% to 0.01%, a remainder of iron (Fe) and other inevitable impurities, satisfying: 3.4≤Ti/N≤10, 1.0≤Mn/(Si+Cr), and 0.7≤Mn*/(Si*+Cr*)≤Mn/(Si+Cr), where Ti, N, Mn, Si and Cr refer to a weight percentage (wt %), and Mn*, Si* and Cr* refer to an average of values obtained by GDS component analysis from a surface to a 0.1 μm position in a thickness direction.

Claims (16)

An ultra-high strength steel sheet having excellent phosphatability and bendability, the steel sheet comprising, by weight percentage (wt %), carbon (C): 0.08% to 0.2%, silicon (Si): 0.05% to 1.3%, manganese (Mn): 2.0% to 3.0%, phosphorus (P): 0.001% to 0.10%, sulfur (S): 0.010% or less, aluminum (Al): 0.01% to 0.1%, chromium (Cr): 0.3% to 1.2%, boron (B): 0.0010% to 0.0030%, titanium (Ti): 0.01% to 0.05%, nitrogen (N): 0.001% to 0.01%, a remainder of iron (Fe) and other inevitable impurities,

wherein Ti and N satisfy Relationship 1:

3.4≤Ti/N≤10  [Relationship 1]

where Ti and N refer to a weight percentage (wt %) of the elements Ti and N, respectively,

wherein Mn, Si and Cr satisfy Relationship 2:

1.0≤Mn/(Si+Cr)  [Relationship 2]

where Mn, Si and Cr refer to a weight percentage (wt %) of the elements Mn, Si and Cr, respectively, and

where Mn, Si and Cr refer to a weight percentage (wt %) of the elements Mn, Si and Cr, respectively, and Mn*, Si* and Cr* refer to an average weight percent (wt %) of the elements Mn, Si and Cr in the surface layer, respectively, and obtained by GDS component analysis.

2. The ultra-high strength steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the steel sheet further comprises, by weight percentage (wt %), one or more of niobium (Nb): 0.01% to 0.05%, molybdenum (Mo): 0.01% to 0.20%, vanadium (V): 0.01% to 0.20%, and tungsten (W): 0.01% to 0.20%, and satisfies Relationship 4:
