Abstract

A steel plate plated with an aluminum-iron alloy for hot press forming can include a base steel sheet and an alloy plated layer formed on the base steel sheet. The alloy plated layer can include an alloyed layer (I) formed on the base steel sheet and containing, by weight, Al: 5-30%; an alloyed layer (II) formed on the alloyed layer (I) and containing, by weight, Al: 30-60%; and an alloyed layer (III) formed on the alloyed layer (II) and containing, by weight, Al: 20-50%. The alloy layer (II) can have a FeAl (Si) alloy phase dispersed and distributed therein, in which the FeAl (Si) alloy phase includes, by weight, Al: 20-50% and Si: 5-20%, and the number density of the FeAl (Si) alloy phase having a circle-equivalent diameter of 5 μm or less 15 is 103/mm2 or more.

Claims (15)

1. A steel sheet plated with an Al—Fe alloy for hot forming, comprising:

a base steel sheet; and

an alloy plating layer formed on the base steel sheet,

wherein the alloy plating layer comprises:

an alloyed layer (I) formed on the base steel sheet and including Al: 5 to 30% by weight;

an alloyed layer (II) formed on the alloyed layer (I) and including Al: 30 to 60% by weight; and

an alloyed layer (III) formed on the alloyed layer (II) and including Al: 20 to 50% by weight,

wherein FeAl(Si) alloy phases including Al: 20 to 50% and Si: 5 to 20%, by weight, are dispersed and distributed in the alloyed layer (II), and

a number density of FeAl(Si) alloy phases having a circle-equivalent diameter of 5 μm or less is 10 3 pieces/mm 2 or more.

2. The steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the alloy plating layer further comprises an alloyed layer (IV) formed on the alloyed layer (III) and including Al: 30 to 60% by weight.

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

4. The steel sheet of claim 3 , wherein the base steel sheet further comprises, by weight, at least one of B: 0.001 to 0.01%, Cr: 0.01 to 1%, or Ti: 0.001 to 0.2%.

5. A hot press formed part obtained by hot press forming the steel sheet according to claim 1 ,

wherein FeAl (Si) alloy phases including Al: 20 to 50% and Si: 5 to 20%, by weight, are dispersed and distributed in the alloyed layer (II), and

a number density of FeAl (Si) alloy phases having a circle-equivalent diameter of 5 μm or less is 10 4 pieces/mm 2 or more.
