Abstract

The present invention provides an iron-aluminum-based plated steel sheet, and a manufacturing method therefor, the iron-aluminum-based plated steel sheet comprising a base steel sheet and a plated layer formed on the surface of the base steel sheet, wherein the alloy plated layer comprises: a diffusion layer comprising an Fe—Al-based intermetallic compound having a cubic structure; and an alloyed layer formed on the diffusion layer and composed of an alloy phase differing from that of the cubic structure, the thickness of the diffusion layer is 3-20 μm, and the thickness of the diffusion layer is greater than 50% of the total thickness of the plated layer.

Claims (13)

1. An iron-aluminum-based plated steel sheet for hot press forming, the iron-aluminum-based plated steel sheet comprising:

a base steel sheet; and

a plating layer formed on a surface of the base steel sheet,

wherein the plating layer includes:

a diffusion layer including a Fe—Al-based intermetallic compound having a cubic structure; and

an alloying layer formed on the diffusion layer and having a crystal structure different from the cubic structure,

wherein a thickness of the diffusion layer is 3 μm to 20 μm, and the thickness of the diffusion layer exceeds 50% of a total thickness of the plating layer.

2. The iron-aluminum-based plated steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the plating layer is 5 μm to 20 μm.

3. The iron-aluminum-based plated steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the plating layer includes, by wt %, 0.0001% to 7% of silicon (Si), 1.1% to 15% of magnesium (Mg), a balance of aluminum (Al), and other inevitable impurities, when a remaining alloy composition excluding an Fe content diffused from the base steel sheet is 100%.

4. The iron-aluminum-based plated steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the base steel sheet includes, by wt %, 0.04% to 0.5% of carbon (C), 0.01% to 2% of silicon (Si), 0.01% to 10% of manganese (Mn), 0.001% to 1.0% of aluminum (Al), 0.05% or less of phosphorus (P), 0.02% or less of silicon (S), 0.02% or less of nitrogen (N), a balance of iron (Fe), and other inevitable impurities.

5. The iron-aluminum-based plated steel sheet of claim 4 , wherein the base steel sheet further includes, by wt %, one or more of 0.01% to 4.0% of the sum of one or more selected from the group consisting of chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), and tungsten (W), 0.001% to 0.4% of the sum of one or more selected from the group consisting of titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), zirconium (Zr), and vanadium (V), 0.005% to 2.0% of copper (Cu)+nickel (Ni), 0.001% to 1.0% of antimony (Sb)+tin (Sn), and 0.0001% to 0.01% of boron (B).

6. A hot press formed member obtained by hot press forming the iron-aluminum-based plated steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the diffusion layer is 90% or more of the total thickness of the plating layer.

7. The hot press formed member of claim 6 , wherein a content of diffusible hydrogen in the hot press formed member is 0.1 ppm or less, and a spot welding current range of the hot press formed member is 1 kA or more.
