Abstract

This steel has a steel sheet substrate and a protective film formed on at least a part of a surface of the steel sheet substrate, the chemical composition of the steel sheet substrate is, by mass %, C: 0.25% to 0.65%, Si: 0.05% to 2.00%, Mn: 0.30% to 3.00%, P: 0.050% or less, S: 0.0100% or less, N: 0.010% or less, O: 0.010% or less, Cr: 0.05% to 1.00%, and Cu: 0.10% to 1.00%, in an X-ray analysis in which measurement is carried out using a CuKα radiation, in a case where a peak intensity at a diffraction angle (2θ) position of 36.6±0.5° is regarded as 100%, the protective film has a peak having a peak intensity of more than 250% at a diffraction angle (2θ) position of 35.5±0.5° and a tensile strength is more than 1,500 MPa.

Claims (40)

1. A steel comprising:

Si: 0.05% to 2.00%;

Mn: 0.30% to 3.00%;

P: 0.050% or less;

S: 0.0100% or less;

N: 0.010% or less;

O: 0.010% or less;

Cr: 0.05% to 1.00%;

Cu: 0.10% to 1.00%;

Ti: 0% to 0.10%;

B: 0% to 0.0100%;

Mo: 0% to 1.00%;

Ni: 0% to 1.00%;

Nb: 0% to 0.10%;

V: 0% to 1.00%;

Ca: 0% to 0.010%;

Mg: 0% to 0.010%;

Al: 0% to 1.00%;

Sn: 0% to 1.00%;

W: 0% to 1.00%;

Sb: 0% to 1.00%;

Zr: 0% to 1.00%;

Co: 0% to 1.00%;

REM: 0% to 0.30%; and

a remainder: Fe and an impurities,

in an X-ray analysis in which measurement is carried out using a CuKα radiation, in a case where a peak intensity at a diffraction angle (2θ) position of 36.6±0.5° is regarded as 100%, the protective film has a peak having a peak intensity of more than 250% at a diffraction angle (2θ) position of 35.5±0.5°,

a tensile strength is more than 1,500 MPa, and

a ratio of a maximum Cu content in the protective film to a Cu content in the steel sheet substrate is 1.5 or more.

2. The steel according to claim 1 ,

wherein the protective film is formed on the entire surface of the steel sheet substrate.

3. The steel according to claim 1 ,

wherein a corrosion-resistant coat is formed on a portion of the surface of the steel sheet substrate, on which the protective film is not formed.

4. The steel according to claim 3 ,

wherein the corrosion-resistant coat is formed on each of two surfaces of the steel sheet substrate perpendicular to a sheet thickness direction, and the protective film is formed on each of two surfaces of the steel sheet substrate parallel to the sheet thickness direction.

5. The steel according to claim 3 ,

wherein the corrosion-resistant coat is an Al—Fe-based coat or a Zn—Fe-based coat.
