Abstract

One aspect of the present invention relates to a plated steel sheet for hot press forming, having an excellent impact property.

Claims (22)

1. A plated steel sheet for hot press forming comprising:

a base steel sheet; and

an Al—Si plated layer formed on a surface of the base steel sheet,

wherein GDS profiles are taken for aluminum, iron, and carbon contents of the Al—Si plated layer at a single point,

wherein the Al—Si plated layer comprises:

a first distance between a first point and a second point; and

a second distance between the second point and a third point,

wherein the first point is a first intersection between a first line and a second line,

wherein the second point is a second intersection between a third line and a fourth line and is closer to the base steel sheet than to a surface of the Al—Si plated layer opposite the base steel sheet,

wherein the third point is where the aluminum content is 1% in the GDS profile,

wherein the first line is a profile of the iron content in the GDS profile,

wherein the second line is a profile of the aluminum content in the GDS profile,

wherein the third line is a line on the GDS profile indicating an amount of carbon that is 50% of an average carbon amount of the base steel sheet,

wherein the fourth line is a profile of the carbon content in the GDS profile, and

wherein the first distance is shorter than the second distance.

2. The plated steel sheet for hot press forming of claim 1 , wherein in the base steel sheet, a ratio of a carbide fraction of a surface layer part (Fs) to a carbide fraction of a central part (Fc) (Fs/Fc) is 0.7 to 1.3, and

wherein the surface layer part means a region from the surface of the base steel sheet to a depth of 200 μm, and the central part means a region having a thickness of −100 μm to +100 μm from a thickness center of the base steel sheet.

3. The plated steel sheet for hot press forming of claim 1 , wherein the base steel sheet comprises by wt %, 0.15-0.4% of C, 0.05-1.0% of Si, 0.6-3.0% of Mn, 0.001-0.05% of P, 0.0001-0.02% of S, 0.01-0.1% of A1, 0.001-0.02% of N, 0.001-0.01% of B, 0.01-0.5% of Cr, 0.01-0.05% of Ti, and a balance of Fe and inevitable impurities.

4. The plated steel sheet for hot press forming of claim 1 , wherein the base steel sheet comprises at least one selected from Mo, Nb, and V in such a manner that a sum thereof is 0.01 to 0.5 wt %.

5. The plated steel sheet for hot press forming of claim 1 , wherein the Al—Si plated layer comprises, by wt %, 6-12% of Si, 1-4% of Fe, and a balance of A1 and inevitable impurities.

6. The plated steel sheet for hot press forming of claim 1 , wherein the Al—Si plated layer has a thickness of 10 to 45 μm.

7. The plated steel sheet for hot press forming of claim 1 , wherein the base steel sheet has a microstructure comprising 10-40% of pearlite, 50-90% of ferrite, and 20% or less of martensite.
