Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a hot-pressed member which can preferably be used for, for example, chassis and body structure members of an automobile.
  • chassis and body structure members of an automobile have usually been manufactured by performing press working on steel sheets having a specified strength.
  • efforts are being made to reduce the thickness of a steel sheet which is used for an automobile body by increasing the strength of the steel sheet.
  • an increase in the strength of steel sheets causes a deterioration in press workability, and therefore there is an increase in the number of cases where it is difficult to form a steel sheet into desired shapes of the members.
  • Patent Literature 1 proposes a working technique called hot pressing which makes it possible to realize an improvement in workability and an increase in strength at the same time by performing working and rapid cooling at the same time on a heated steel sheet by using a mold which is composed of a die and a punch.
  • this hot pressing since a steel sheet is heated to a high temperature of about 950°C before hot pressing is performed, scale (iron oxide) is generated on the surface of the steel sheet, and the flaking of the scale occurs when hot pressing is performed, which results in a problem in that a mold is damaged or the surface of a member is damaged after the hot pressing. Also, scale which remained on the surface of a member causes a deterioration in surface appearance and paint adhesiveness. Therefore, scale which is present on the surface of a member is usually removed by performing a treatment such as pickling or shot blasting. However, such a treatment makes a manufacturing process complex, and thus there is a decrease in productivity.
  • chassis and body structure members of an automobile are also required to have excellent corrosion resistance.
  • a hot-pressed member which is manufactured by using the process described above, is not provided with an anti-corrosion film such as a coating layer, the member is very poor in terms of corrosion resistance.
  • a hot-pressing technique is desired with which the generation of scale can be inhibited when heating is performed before hot pressing and with which the corrosion resistance of a hot-pressed member can be improved, and thus a steel sheet to be hot-pressed whose surface is coated with a film such as a coating layer and a method for hot pressing which utilizes the steel sheet have been proposed.
  • Patent Literature 2 discloses a method for manufacturing a hot-pressed member excellent in terms of corrosion resistance whose surface is coated with a Zn-Fe-based compound or a Zn-Fe-Al-based compound by performing hot pressing on a steel sheet, which is coated with Zn or a Zn-based alloy.
  • Patent Literature 3 discloses a hot-pressed member excellent in terms of scale resistance, paint adhesiveness, after-painting corrosion resistance, and hydrogen entry resistance which is manufactured by forming a Ni diffusion region, a layer of an intermetallic compound, which is equivalent to the ⁇ phase of a Zn-Ni alloy, and a ZnO layer in the surface layer of a steel sheet.
  • Patent Literature 4 discloses a steel sheet to be hot-pressed which is manufactured by forming a ZnO layer, which inhibits the vaporization of Zn, in the surface layer of a Zn-based coating layer in advance, and indicates that it is possible to obtain a hot-pressed product having good surface appearance, excellent paint adhesiveness, and excellent after-painting corrosion resistance by using the steel sheet.
  • a hot-pressed member which is manufactured by using the method described in Patent Literature 2
  • a zinc-coated steel sheet or a zinc-aluminum-coated steel sheet, whose coating layer has a low melting point is used, the melting of the coating layer or the vaporization of zinc which occurs in a heating process before hot pressing is significant.
  • a hot-pressed member, which is finally obtained has, for example, a spotty inhomogeneous surface appearance or many white or black point-like defects. Therefore, it is difficult to obtain a hot-pressed member having a homogeneous and good surface appearance.
  • Patent Literature 3 which is manufactured by using a steel sheet coated with a Zn-Ni-alloy coating layer, which has a melting point higher than that of Zn
  • a hot-pressed member described in Patent Literature 3 which is manufactured by using a steel sheet coated with a Zn-Ni-alloy coating layer, which has a melting point higher than that of Zn
  • Patent Literature 4 In the case where a steel sheet to be hot-pressed described in Patent Literature 4 is used, there is an improvement in the surface appearance of a hot-pressed member to some extent through the effect of a ZnO layer which is formed in the surface layer of the steel sheet. However, there is still a problem in that local point-like defects are generated in a portion in which the result of a treatment for forming a ZnO layer is inhomogeneous.
  • the present invention has been completed in order to solve the problems of the conventional techniques described above, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a hot-pressed member excellent in terms of surface appearance with which it is possible to stably manufacture a hot-pressed member having a homogeneous and good surface appearance without causing a significant increase in cost.
  • the present inventors in order to solve the problems described above, diligently conducted investigations regarding a method for manufacturing a hot-pressed member excellent in terms of surface appearance. First, investigations regarding a state in which point-like defects are generated on the surface of a hot-pressed member were conducted. As a result, it was found that the position or number of point-like defects is not necessarily the same even if the same kind of zinc-based coated steel sheet is heated under the same condition.

  • the hot-pressed member which is manufactured by using the present invention can preferably be used for the chassis and body structure members of an automobile.

  • the coating weight is 90 g/m 2 or less, there is no increase in cost.
  • the coating weight be 20 g/m 2 to 80 g/m 2 .
  • the coating weight of the coating layer should be derived from the amount of decrease in mass at this time.

  • the Ni content in the coating layer is 10 mass% to 25 mass%, since the structure of the coating layer becomes a ⁇ phase structure, and since this ⁇ phase has a high melting point of 881°C, there is an increase in the effect of inhibiting the generation of point-like defects to a higher level.
  • a ⁇ phase has one of the crystal structures of Ni 2 Zn 11 , NiZn 3 , and Ni 5 Zn 21 , and it is possible to identify the structure by using an X-ray diffraction method.
  • an underlying coating layer such as a coating layer mainly containing, for example, Ni may be formed under the above-described coating layer.
  • a hot-rolled steel sheet or a cold-rolled steel sheet having a chemical composition containing, by mass%, C: 0.15% to 0.50%, Si: 0.05% to 2.00%, Mn: 0.5% to 3.0%, P: 0.10% or less, S: 0.05% or less, Al: 0.10% or less, N: 0.010% or less, and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities may be used as a base steel sheet for a zinc-based coating layer.

  • Si is, like C, a chemical element which increases the strength of steel, and it is necessary that the Si content be 0.05% or more in order to control the TS of a hot-pressed member to be 980 MPa or more.
  • the Si content is more than 2.00%, there is a significant increase in the amount of a surface defect, which is called red scale, generated when hot rolling is performed, there is an increase in rolling load, and there is a deterioration in the ductility of a hot-rolled steel sheet.
  • the Si content is more than 2.00%, there may be a negative effect on coatability when a coating treatment is performed in order to form a coating film containing mainly Zn and Al on the surface of a steel sheet. Therefore, it is preferable that the Si content be 0.05% to 2.00%.
  • Mn is a chemical element which is effective for improving hardenability by inhibiting ferrite transformation and which is effective for decreasing a heating temperature before hot pressing is performed, because Mn decreases the Ac 3 transformation temperature. It is necessary that the Mn content be 0.5% or more in order to realize such effects. On the other hand, in the case where the Mn content is more than 3.0%, since Mn is segregated, there is a deterioration in the homogeneity of the properties of a steel sheet as a material and a hot-pressed member. Therefore, it is preferable that the Mn content be 0.5% to 3.0%.
  • the P content is more than 0.10%, since P is segregated, there is a deterioration in the homogeneity of the properties of a steel sheet as a material and a hot-pressed member, and there is a significant decrease in toughness. Therefore, it is preferable that the P content be 0.10% or less.

  • Sb is effective for inhibiting the formation of a decarburized layer in the surface layer of a steel sheet in a process in which a zinc-based coated steel sheet is subjected to heating followed by hot pressing work and cooling. It is necessary that the Sb content be 0.003% or more in order to realize such an effect. On the other hand, in the case where the Sb content is more than 0.030%, since there is an increase in rolling load, there is a decrease in productivity.

  • SK-type Straight Brush produced by Showa Kogyo Co., Ltd.
  • wash-oil application and brushing were performed by performing brushing as described above after having applied a wash rust-prevention oil (PRETON R352L produced by Sugimura Chemical Industrial Co., Ltd.) to the surface of a sample so that the amount of oil applied was 2.0 g/m 2 .
  • a wash rust-prevention oil PRETON R352L produced by Sugimura Chemical Industrial Co., Ltd.
  • Alkaline degreasing was performed by spraying a sample with an alkaline degreasing liquid (CL-N364S, 20g/L, 60°C, produced by Nihon Parkerizing Co., LTD.) for 10 seconds, and thereafter performing water washing followed by drying.
  • an alkaline degreasing liquid (CL-N364S, 20g/L, 60°C, produced by Nihon Parkerizing Co., LTD.) for 10 seconds, and thereafter performing water washing followed by drying.
  • the pH of the alkaline degreasing liquid was 12.0.
  • Solvent degreasing was performed by immersing a sample in a combined solvent of toluene and ethanol having a mixture ratio of 1:1, and thereafter performing ultrasonic cleaning for one minute and drying.
  • Strong alkaline degreasing which was performed as a comparative example, was performed by immersing a sample in a strong alkaline degreasing liquid (NaOH aqueous solution, pH: controlled to be 13.0, 50°C) for 5 seconds, and thereafter performing water washing followed by drying.
  • a strong alkaline degreasing liquid NaOH aqueous solution, pH: controlled to be 13.0, 50°C
  • the sample was heated in an electric furnace at a temperature of 950°C so that duration of the sample in the electric furnace was 8 minutes, the sample was taken out of the furnace immediately after completion of heating, and then held in a flat mold made of Al in order to perform a rapid cooling treatment (cooling rate: 50°C/s).
  • Ten samples were each prepared under the same condition in order to increase the judgment accuracy of surface appearance. After having performed a visual test regarding the state of point-like defects of the samples, surface appearance was judged on the basis of the judgment criteria below, and the case of ⁇ or ⁇ was judged as satisfactory.
  • the effect of the present invention was evaluated on the basis of the evaluation of the surface appearance after having heated and cooled a flat sheet as described above without performing practical press forming which utilized a direct process or an indirect process
  • the results of the present evaluation are the same as those of the evaluation of the surface appearance after having performed practical press forming which utilizes the above-mentioned two processes, because the surface appearance after having performed heating and cooling depends on whether or not stain components exist on the surface of the sample and on the effect of removing the stain components.
