Abstract

Provided is a hot dip aluminized steel material including a base steel and a hot-dip Al—Si-coated layer, wherein the surface layer of the base steel is provided with an Al-enriched layer in which 2 wt % to 20 wt % of Al is solid-solubilized, and an interface between the base steel and the hot-dip Al—Si-coated layer has a double-layer structured interfacial alloy layer having different hardnesses.

Claims (14)

1. A hot dip aluminized steel material comprising:

a base steel; and

a hot-dip aluminum-silicon (Al—Si)-coated layer,

wherein a surface layer of the base steel is provided with an Al-enriched layer in which 2 wt % to 20 wt % of Al is solid-solubilized, and an interface between the base steel and the hot-dip Al—Si-coated layer is provided with an interfacial alloy layer having a double layer structure,

wherein the double layer structure comprises: a lower alloy layer disposed on the base steel and having a first Vickers hardness, and an upper alloy layer disposed on the lower alloy layer and having a second Vickers hardness lower than the first Vickers hardness, and

wherein an occupied area ratio of the lower alloy layer is 2˜20% of a total area of the lower alloy layer, the upper alloy layer and the hot-dip Al—Si-coated layer.

2. The hot dip aluminized steel material of claim 1 , wherein a ratio of an average Al content of the Al-enriched layer to an average Al content of the base steel is 2 or more.

3. The hot dip aluminized steel material of claim 1 , wherein the Al-enriched layer has an average thickness of 0.5 to 2 μm.

4. The hot dip aluminized steel material of claim 1 , wherein the lower alloy layer is formed of one or more iron-aluminum (Fe—Al) alloys among FeAl 2 , FeAl 3 and Fe 2 Al 5 , and has a hardness of 800 Hv or more.

5. The hot dip aluminized steel material of claim 4 , wherein the lower alloy layer comprises 45 to 60 wt % of Fe.

6. The hot dip aluminized steel material of claim 1 , wherein the upper alloy layer is formed of an Fe—Al—Si alloy and has a hardness of 350 Hv or more.

7. The hot dip aluminized steel material of claim 6 , wherein the upper alloy layer comprises 40 to 65 wt % of Fe and 5 to 20 wt % of Si.

8. The hot dip aluminized steel material of claim 1 , wherein the hot-dip Al—Si-coated layer comprises 2 to 13 wt % of Si.

9. The hot dip aluminized steel material of claim 8 , wherein the hot-dip Al—Si-coated layer further comprises one or more of beryllium (Be) of not more than 0.5 wt % and strontium (Sr) of not more than 0.5 wt %.
