Abstract

The present invention pertains to a hot press forming member having excellent resistance to hydrogen embrittlement, and a method for manufacturing same. An aspect of the present invention provides a hot press forming member having excellent resistance to hydrogen embrittlement, the hot press forming member comprising a base steel plate and an alloy-plated layer formed on the surface of the base steel plate, wherein the alloy-plated layer contains pores such that pores having a size of 5 μm or less constitute 3-30% of the surface area of the alloy-plated layer as viewed in a cross-section taken in the thickness direction of the member.

Claims (5)

1. A hot press formed member having excellent resistance to hydrogen embrittlement, the hot press formed member comprising:

a base steel sheet and an alloy-plated layer formed on a surface of the base steel sheet,

wherein the alloy-plated layer contains pores such that number density, obtained by dividing an area of the alloy-plated layer by the number of pores having a size of 5 μm or less by an area of the alloy-plated layer, is 5×10 3 to 2×10 6 number/mm 2 , when viewed in a cross-section taken in a thickness direction of the hot press formed member.

2. The hot press formed member of claim 1 , wherein pores, accounting for 70% or more of total pores having a size of 5 μm or less based on an area, are present in a surface layer portion of the alloy-plated layer.

3. The hot press formed member of claim 1 , wherein the alloy-plated layer contains pores such that a ratio of an area occupied by pores having a size of 5 μm or less to an area of the alloy-plated layer is 3 to 30%, when viewed in a cross-section taken in a thickness direction of the hot press formed member.
