Abstract

In this part that includes a cut end surface consisting of a surface-treated steel sheet that has been cut, the shape of the cut end surface is such that the length of a first shear droop occurring in the sheet thickness direction is at least 0.10 times the sheet thickness of the surface-treated steel sheet, and the length of a second sheer droop occurring in the planar direction is at least 0.45 times the sheet thickness of the surface-treated steel sheet. Furthermore, in the cutting process a die is used for which the clearance between the punch and the die is 1-20% of the plate thickness of the surface-treated steel plate, and the shoulder portion of the die and/or the punch is provided with a radius of curvature of at least 0.12 times the plate thickness of the surface-treated steel plate.

Claims (9)

1. A surface treated steel sheet comprising a cut end-face formed by a cutting process, the cut end-face having an excellent corrosion resistance, wherein

the cut end-face has a shape defined by a first shear droop in a sheet-thickness direction having a length 0.10 times or more and 0.40 times or less of a sheet thickness of the surface treated steel sheet, and a second shear droop in a planar direction having a length 0.45 times or more and 1.5 times or less of the sheet thickness of the surface treated steel sheet,

a surface of the cut end-face is coated and wrapped around with a plating metal layer, the plating metal layer being originally coated on a surface of the surface treated steel sheet, and

a ratio ([B]/[A]) of a wrapping-around length of plating ([B]) of the plating metal layer to a sheet thickness ([A]) of the surface treated steel sheet is 0.30 or more, wherein the wrapping-around length is defined as a total of a length of the first shear droop including a thickness of the plating metal layer along a thickness direction of the surface treated steel sheet and a length of the plating metal layer wrapping around a shear surface.

2. The surface treated steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the surface treated steel sheet is a Zn-based plated steel sheet.

3. A method of manufacturing the surface treated steel sheet according to claim 1 by performing the cutting process of the surface treated steel sheet using a die apparatus comprising a die and a punch, the method including:

performing cutting using the die apparatus so that the die apparatus is configured so that a clearance between the die and the punch is 1 to 20 % of the sheet thickness of the surface treated steel sheet, and

a shoulder portion of either one of the die or the punch has a curvature radius 0 . 12 times or more of the sheet thickness of the surface treated steel sheet.

4. The method of manufacturing the surface treated steel sheet according to claim 3 , wherein the surface treated steel sheet is a Zn-based plated steel sheet.
