Abstract

The present invention provides a steel sheet plated with aluminum-iron and a preparation method therefor, the steel sheet comprising: a base steel sheet; and a plated layer formed on the surface of the base steel sheet and comprising: an alloyed layer containing at least one of Fe3Al, FeAl(Si), Fe2Al5, and FeAl3; and an aluminum layer formed on the alloyed layer and having a thickness less than 10% of that of the plated layer, wherein the plated layer is 20-35 μm in thickness and contains 1-20 wt % of Mg as measured by GDS at a position 0.1 μm deep from the surface of the plated layer and 10 wt % of oxygen as measured by GDS at a position 0.1 μm deep from the surface of the plated layer.

Claims (12)

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

a base steel sheet; and

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

wherein the plated layer comprises:

an alloying layer formed on the surface of the base steel sheet and containing at least one of Fe 3 Al, FeAl(Si), Fe 2 Al 5 , and FeAl 3 ; and

an aluminum layer formed on the alloying layer and having a thickness less than 10% of a thickness of the plated layer, and

wherein the plated layer has a thickness of 20 to 35 μm and contains 1 to 20 weight % of magnesium (Mg), measured by a glow discharge spectrometer (GDS) at a position 0.1 μm deep from a surface of the plated layer, and 10 weight % or less of oxygen measured by the GDS at the position 0.1 μm deep from the surface of the plated layer.

2. The aluminum-iron-based plated steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the plated layer comprises, by weight %, silicon (Si): 7 to 15%, magnesium (Mg): 1.1 to 15%, and a balance of aluminum (Al) and inevitable impurities, when the other alloy composition, except for the content of iron (Fe) diffused from the base steel sheet, is set to be 100%.

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

4. The aluminum-iron-based plated steel sheet of claim 3 , wherein the base steel sheet further comprises at least one of, a sum of at least one selected from the group consisting of chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), and tungsten (W): 0.01 to 4.0%; a sum of at least one selected from the group consisting of titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), zirconium (Zr), and vanadium (V): 0.001 to 0.4%; copper+nickel (Cu+Ni): 0.005 to 2.0%; antimony+tin (Sb+Sn): 0.001 to 1.0%; and boron (B): 0.0001 to 0.01%.

5. A hot press formed member obtained by hot press forming the aluminum-iron-based plated steel sheet of claim 1 .

6. The hot press formed member of claim 5 , wherein a spot welding current range of the hot press formed member is 1 kA or more.
