Abstract

Provided is a cold-rolled steel plate for hot forming, which is excellent in corrosion-resistance and spot-weldability, contains, by weight %, C: 0.1-0.4%, Si: 0.5-2.0%, Mn: 0.01-4.0%, Al: 0.001-0.4%, P: 0.001-0.05%, S: 0.0001-0.02%, Cr: 0.5% to less than 3.0%, N: 0.001-0.02%, and a balance of Fe and inevitable impurities, satisfying formula (1) below, and includes an Si amorphous oxidation layer continuously or discontinuously formed at a thickness of 1 nm-100 nm on the surface thereof. Formula (1): 1.4≤0.4*Cr+Si≤3.2 (wherein element symbols denote measurements of respective element contents by weight %).

Claims (10)

1. A cold-rolled steel plate for hot-forming, having excellent corrosion-resistance and spot-weldability, comprising:

C: 0.1 to 0.4%, Si: 0.5 to 2.0%, Mn: 0.01 to 4.0%, Al: 0.001 to 0.4%, P: 0.001 to 0.05%, S: 0.0001 to 0.02%, Cr: 0.5% or higher and less than 3.0%, N: 0.001 to 0.02%, and a balance of Fe and inevitable impurities by weight %,

wherein the cold-rolled steel plate satisfies equation (1) below:

1.4≤0.4*Cr+Si≤3.2  equation (1):

where each element symbol is a value of a content of each element measured by weight %;

wherein an Si-based amorphous oxide layer having a thickness of 1 nm to 100 nm is continuously or discontinuously formed on a surface of the cold-rolled steel plate; and

wherein an Fe, Mn, and Cr oxide layer is formed to a thickness of 2.5 μm or less on the Si-based amorphous oxide layer.

2. The cold-rolled steel plate of claim 1 , wherein the cold-rolled steel plate further includes one or more selected from a) one or more selected from Ti, Nb, Zr, and V: 0.001 to 0.4% by weight %, and b) B: 0.0001 to 0.01% by weight %.

3. The cold-rolled steel plate of claim 1 , wherein the cold-rolled steel plate further includes one or more selected from c) one or more of Mo and W: 0.001 to 1.0% by weight %, d) a sum of contents of Cu and Ni: 0.005 to 2.0% by weight %, and e) one or more of Sb and Sn: 0.001 to 1.0% by weight %.

4. The cold-rolled steel plate of claim 1 , wherein a microstructure of the cold-rolled steel plate includes ferrite and cementite.
