Abstract

The present disclosure provides a hot-press formed part comprising a plated steel sheet and an aluminum alloy plated layer formed on the plated steel sheet, wherein the aluminum alloy plated layer comprises: an alloying layer (I) formed on the plated steel sheet and containing, by weight %, 5-30% of Al; an alloying layer (II) formed on the alloying layer (I) and containing, by weight %, 30 to 60% of Al; an alloying layer (III) formed on the alloying layer (II) and containing, by weight %, 20-50% of Al and 5-20% of Si; and an alloying layer (IV) formed continuously or discontinuously on at least a part of the surface of the alloying layer (III), and containing 30-60% of Al, wherein the rate of the alloying layer (III) exposed on the outermost surface of the aluminum alloy plated layer is 10% or more.

Claims (14)

1. A hot-press formed member, comprising:

a base steel sheet; and

an aluminum alloy plated layer formed on the base steel sheet,

wherein the aluminum alloy plated layer includes:

an alloying layer (I) formed on the base steel sheet and including, by weight %, 5-30% of Al, 0-10% of Si, and a balance of Fe and other inevitable impurities;

an alloying layer (II) formed on the alloying layer (I) and including, by weight %, 30 to 60% of Al, 0-5% of Si, and a balance of Fe and other inevitable impurities;

an alloying layer (III) formed on the alloying layer (II) and including, by weight %, 20-50% of Al and 5-20% of Si, and a balance of Fe and other inevitable impurities; and

an alloying layer (IV) formed continuously or discontinuously on at least a portion of a surface of the alloying layer (III) and including 30-60% of Al, 0-5% of Si, and a balance of Fe and other inevitable impurities, and

wherein a ratio of the alloying layer (III) exposed on an outermost surface of the aluminum alloy plated layer is 10% or more.

2. The hot-press formed member of claim 1 ,

wherein a plurality of pores are formed in the alloying layer (III), and

wherein porosity of the alloying layer (III) is 5-50%.

3. The hot-press formed member of claim 1 , wherein the base steel sheet includes, by weight %, 0.04-0.5% of C, 0.01-2% of Si, 0.1-5% of Mn, 0.001-0.05% of P, 0.0001-0.02% of S, 0.001-1% of Al, 0.001-0.02% of N, and a balance Fe and other impurities.

4. The hot-press formed member of claim 3 , wherein the base steel sheet further includes, by weight %, one or more of 0.001-0.01% of B, 0.01-1% of Cr, and 0.001-0.2% of Ti.
