The present invention relates to a cold rolled steel sheet for hot-press forming, a hot-press-formed member, and a method for manufacturing same and, more specifically, to a cold rolled steel sheet for hot-press forming, having excellent surface quality, a hot-press-formed member, and a method for manufacturing same.

    Technical Field
  • The present disclosure relates to a cold-rolled steel sheet for hot press forming, a hot press formed member, and manufacturing methods thereof, and in particular, to a cold-rolled steel sheet for hot press forming and a hot press formed member that have excellent surface quality, and manufacturing methods thereof.
  • Background Art
  • Recently, a number of studies have been conducted on automobile structural members to improve fuel efficiency through weight reduction of automobiles and to improve impact resistance through high strength. In particular, a lot of members manufactured by hot press forming have been applied to automobile structural members.
  • Patent Document 1 suggests that ultra-high strength with a tensile strength of 1,600 MPa or more may be secured by heating an Al-Si plated steel sheet to 850°C or higher, and then performing hot press forming and quenching with a press to form a structure of a member with martensite. In addition, it is disclosed that corrosion resistance and spot weldability may be secured without shot blasting due to an alloyed layer and a diffusion layer formed by Fe diffusion from a base material to a plating layer during a heat treatment.
  • However, in the case of the Al-Si plated steel sheet, an Al-Si plating layer needs to be formed, and a separate plating process is required, which reduces cost efficiency and productivity.
  • On the other hand, in the case of non-plated materials, spot weldability cannot be secured due to an oxide layer formed during the heat treatment, a shot blasting process is necessary to remove the oxide layer, and it is difficult to secure corrosion resistance.
  • Therefore, there is a demand for developing a cold-rolled steel sheet for hot press forming and a hot press formed member that may secure excellent corrosion resistance and spot weldability without a plating process and a shot blasting process, and manufacturing methods thereof.

    Best Mode for Invention
  • Hereinafter, preferred exemplary embodiments in the present disclosure will be described. The exemplary embodiments in the present disclosure may be modified in various forms, and the scope of the present disclosure should not be interpreted to be limited to the exemplary embodiments set forth below. The exemplary embodiments are provided in order to describe the present disclosure in more detail to those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure pertains.
  • The inventors of the present disclosure have recognized a problem that, in the case of a non-plated cold-rolled steel sheet for hot press forming, excellent surface quality of a member cannot be secured due to an oxide layer formed during a heat treatment performed in the manufacture of a hot press formed member, and a shot blasting process is absolutely necessary to remove the oxide layer, and have conducted intensive studies to solve the problem while securing excellent surface quality.
  • As a result, the inventors of the present disclosure have confirmed that a composite oxide layer having a target thickness may be formed during annealing by precisely controlling an alloy composition and manufacturing conditions, in particular, contents of Cr, Si, and Mn and a rate of change in atmosphere temperature during annealing, and excellent surface quality may be secured without a shot blasting process by controlling hot press forming process conditions, thereby completing the present disclosure.
  • Hereinafter, the present disclosure will be described in detail.
  • Hereinafter, a cold-rolled steel sheet of the present disclosure will be described in detail.
  • A cold-rolled steel sheet according to an aspect of the present disclosure may include a base steel sheet and a first oxide layer formed on the base steel sheet.
  • Hereinafter, a composition of the base steel sheet of the cold-rolled steel sheet according to an aspect of the present disclosure will be described in detail.
  • In the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, % indicating a content of each element is based on weight.
  • The base steel sheet of the cold-rolled steel sheet according to an aspect of the present disclosure may contain, by wt%, 0.05 to 0.4% of C, 0.5 to 3.0% of Si, 0.3 to 5.0% of Cr, 0.01 to 4.0% of Mn, 0.001 to 0.4% of Al, 0.001 to 0.05% of P, 0.0001 to 0.02% of S, 0.001 to 0.02% of N, and a balance of Fe and other unavoidable impurities.
  • Carbon (C): 0.05 to 0.4%
  • Carbon (C) is an essential element for increasing strength of a heat-treated member and needs to be added appropriately. When a content of carbon (C) is less than 0.05%, it may be difficult to secure sufficient strength. On the other hand, when the content of carbon (C) exceeds 0.4%, when a hot-rolled material is cold-rolled, cold rollability of the hot-rolled material is significantly deteriorated because the strength of the hot-rolled material is excessively high, and spot weldability may be significantly deteriorated. According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a lower limit of carbon (C) may be 0.06%. According to still another aspect of the present disclosure, an upper limit of carbon (C) may be 0.38%, and according to still another aspect, the upper limit may be 0.36%.
  • Silicon (Si): 0.5 to 3.0%
  • Silicon (Si) may play an important role in forming a silicon (Si)-based oxide layer by being concentrated on a surface of a cold-rolled steel sheet when annealing the cold-rolled steel sheet on a continuous annealing line, and may also play a role in securing spot weldability of a member by suppressing the formation of Fe, Mn, and Cr oxide layers in a hot press forming process. When a content of silicon (Si) is less than 0.5%, the effects described above may be insufficient. According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a lower limit of silicon (Si) may be 0.8%. On the other hand, when the content of silicon (Si) exceeds 3.0%, an excessively thick Si-based amorphous oxide layer is formed, which may cause deterioration of spot weldability. According to still another aspect of the present disclosure, an upper limit of silicon (Si) may be 2.8%.
  • Chromium (Cr): 0.3 to 5.0%
  • Chromium (Cr) may serve to not only improve hardenability of a steel sheet, but also help a Si-based amorphous oxide layer to be stably formed on a surface layer by an appropriate reaction with Si. When a content of chromium (Cr) is less than 0.3%, the effects described above may be insufficient. According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a lower limit of chromium (Cr) may be 0.5%. On the other hand, when the content of chromium (Cr) exceeds 5.0%, the effects may be saturated and the manufacturing costs may increase. According to still another aspect of the present disclosure, an upper limit of chromium (Cr) may be 4.5%.
  • Manganese (Mn): 0.01 to 4.0%
  • Manganese (Mn) may be added to secure a solid solution strengthening effect and to reduce a critical cooling rate for securing martensite in a hot press formed member. When a content of manganese (Mn) is less than 0.01%, the effects described above may be insufficient. According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a lower limit of manganese (Mn) may be 0.05%. On the other hand, when the content of manganese (Mn) exceeds 4.0%, since strength of a steel sheet before a hot press forming process increases excessively, it may be difficult to perform a blanking work, and due to excessive addition of alloy iron, costs of raw materials may increase and spot weldability may be deteriorated. According to another aspect of the present disclosure, an upper limit of manganese (Mn) may be 3.9%, and according to still another aspect, the upper limit may be 3.8%.
  • Aluminum (Al): 0.001 to 0.4%
  • Aluminum (Al) may increase cleanness of the steel, together with Si, through deoxidation action in steelmaking. When a content of aluminum (Al) is less than 0.001%, the effects described above may be insufficient. According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a lower limit of aluminum (Al) may be 0.005%. On the other hand, when the content of aluminum (Al) exceeds 0.4%, an Ac3 temperature increases excessively, and thus, a heating temperature may need to be increased. According to still another aspect of the present disclosure, an upper limit of aluminum (Al) may be 0.3%, and according to still another aspect, the upper limit may be 0.2%.
  • Phosphorus (P): 0.001 to 0.05%
  • Phosphorus (P) is an impurity, and a lot of manufacturing costs may be required to control a content of phosphorus (P) to less than 0.001%, and thus, a lower limit of the content of phosphorus (P) may be limited to 0.001%. On the other hand, when the content of phosphorus (P) exceeds 0.05%, weldability of a hot press formed member may be significantly deteriorated. According to another aspect of the present disclosure, an upper limit of phosphorus (P) may be 0.03%.
  • Sulfur (S): 0.0001 to 0.02%
  • Sulfur (S) is an impurity, and a lot of manufacturing costs may be required to control a content of sulfur (S) to less than 0.0001%, and thus, a lower limit of the content of sulfur (S) may be limited to 0.0001%. On the other hand, when the content of sulfur (S) exceeds 0.02%, ductility, impact properties, and weldability of a member may be deteriorated. According to another aspect of the present disclosure, an upper limit of sulfur (S) may be 0.01%.
  • Nitrogen (N): 0.001 to 0.02%
  • Nitrogen (N) is an impurity, and a lot of manufacturing costs may be required to control a content of nitrogen (N) to less than 0.001%, and thus, a lower limit of the content of nitrogen (N) may be limited to 0.001%. On the other hand, a content of nitrogen (N) exceeds 0.02%, a slab may be sensitive to cracks during casting, and impact properties may be deteriorated. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, an upper limit of nitrogen (N) may be 0.01%.
  • The steel material of the present disclosure may contain a balance of iron (Fe) and unavoidable impurities in addition to the composition described above. Since the unavoidable impurities may be unintentionally incorporated in a general manufacturing process, the unavoidable impurities may not be excluded. Since these impurities are known to those skilled in a general steel manufacturing field, all the contents thereof are not particularly described in the present specification.
  • The base steel sheet of the cold-rolled steel sheet according to an aspect of the present disclosure may contain one or more of 0.001 to 0.4% of Ti, 0.001 to 0.4% of Nb, 0.001 to 0.4% of Zr, 0.001 to 0.4% of V, 0.0001 to 0.01% of B, 0.001 to 1.0% of Mo, 0.001 to 1.0% of W, 0.005 to 2.0% of Cu, 0.005 to 2.0% of Ni, 0.001 to 1.0% of Sb, 0.001 to 1.0% of Sn, and 0.0001 to 0.02% of REM.
  • Titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), zirconium (Zr), and vanadium (V): 0.001 to 0.4%
  • Titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), zirconium (Zr), and vanadium (V) are effective in improving strength of a heat-treated member by forming fine precipitates and are effective in stabilizing retained austenite and improving impact toughness by inducing grain refinement. When a content of titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), zirconium (Zr), and vanadium (V) (in a case where two or more types are added, the sum of these elements) is less than 0.001%, the effects described above may be insufficient, and when the content of titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), zirconium (Zr), and vanadium (V) exceeds 0.4%, the effects may be saturated, and an increase in cost may be caused due to excessive addition of alloy iron.
  • Boron (B): 0.0001 to 0.01%
  • Boron (B) is an element that may improve hardenability even with a small amount of addition, and segregates at prior austenite grain boundaries and thus may suppress brittleness of a hot press formed member caused by boundary segregation of P and/or S. When a content of boron (B) is less than 0.001%, the effects described above may be insufficient, and when the content of boron (B) exceeds 0.01%, the effects may be saturated, and hot brittleness may occur when a hot rolling is performed. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, an upper limit of boron (B) may be 0.005%.
  • Molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W): 0.001 to 1.0%
  • Molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W) may be added to improve hardenability and strength through a precipitation strengthening effect and to refine grains. When a content of molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W) is less than 0.001%, the effects described above may be insufficient, and when the content of molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W) exceeds 1.0%, the effects may be saturated, and an increase in costs may occur.
  • Copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni): 0.005 to 2.0%
  • Copper (Cu) may be added as an element that improves strength by forming fine precipitates. In addition, when copper (Cu) is added alone, hot brittleness may occur, and thus, nickel (Ni) may be added, if necessary. When a content of copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni) is less than 0.005%, the effects described above may be insufficient, and when the content of copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni) exceeds 2.0%, costs may increase excessively.
  • Antimony (Sb) and tin (Sn): 0.001 to 1.0%
  • Antimony (Sb) and tin (Sn) have the effect of suppressing the formation of oxides that may be formed at grain boundaries on a surface layer of a hot-rolled material of a steel to which Si is added, and thus may suppress dent defects caused by separation of the grain boundaries on the surface layer during annealing of a cold-rolled material. In order to obtain these effects, antimony (Sb) and tin (Sn) may be added in an amount of 0.001% or more. On the other hand, when the content of antimony (Sb) and tin (Sn) exceeds 1.0%, costs may increase excessively, and these elements may be solid-dissolved in slab grain boundaries, causing coil edge cracks during hot rolling.
  • Rare earth element (REM): 0.0001 to 0.02%
  • A rare earth element (REM) may control the activity of Fe in steel, such that a thickness of Fe scale formed on the surface layer during hot press forming may be controlled. In order to obtain these effects, it is preferable that the REM element is added in an amount of 0.0001% or more. On the other hand, the content of the rare earth element (REM) exceeds 0.02%, the ability to control Fe activity may be lost, resulting in deterioration of surface quality. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, the rare earth element (REM) may be controlled to 0.01% or less.
  • The first oxide layer according to an aspect of the present disclosure may contain two or more of Fe, Mn, Cr, and Si, and may have a thickness of 5 to 500 nm.
  • The first oxide layer is a composite oxide layer containing two or more of Fe, Mn, Cr, and Si, in which two or more of the elements are formed, and in order to control a thickness of the second oxide layer of the member after hot press forming, precise thickness control is required by controlling an atmosphere temperature increase rate when a cold-rolled steel sheet is manufactured. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a sum of contents of Si, Mn, and Cr in terms of wt% of the first oxide layer itself may be 30% or more, and according to another aspect, the sum of the contents may be 90% or less.
  • When the thickness of the first oxide layer is less than 5 nm, after hot press forming, the second oxide layer is formed excessively thick, and thus, the effect of improving surface quality may be insufficient, and it is difficult to secure excellent surface quality. On the other hand, when the thickness exceeds 500 nm, it is not easy to form a second oxide layer after hot press forming, and thus, phosphatability may be deteriorated, which may make it difficult to secure excellent surface quality and to secure sufficient plating corrosion resistance. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, an upper limit of the thickness may be 490 nm, and according to another aspect, a lower limit of the thickness may be 5.5 nm. The first oxide layer of the present disclosure may be formed continuously or discontinuously.
  • The first oxide layer according to an aspect of the present disclosure may contain two or more of Fe, Mn, Cr, and Si, and may have a thickness of 5.0 to 500.0 nm.
  • Hereinafter, a microstructure of the cold-rolled steel sheet of the present disclosure will be described in detail.
  • In the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, % indicating a fraction of a microstructure is based on area.
  • The cold-rolled steel sheet according to an aspect of the present disclosure may contain ferrite and cementite. In the present disclosure, an area fraction thereof is not particularly limited, and more preferably, the area fraction of ferrite and cementite may be 5 area% or more.
  • When a blank is manufactured using a cold-rolled steel sheet to manufacture a hot press formed member, if strength of the cold-rolled steel sheet is excessive, mold abrasion may easily occur. More specifically, the microstructure features may refer to a microstructure of the base steel sheet of the cold-rolled steel sheet. Without considering this, bainite, martensite, and the like may be contained without exclusion.
  • Hereinafter, a member of the present disclosure will be described in detail.
  • The member according to an aspect of the present disclosure may include a base steel sheet, a first oxide layer formed on the base steel sheet, and a second oxide layer formed on the first oxide layer.
  • The composition of the base steel sheet of the member according to an aspect of the present disclosure is the same as the composition of the cold-rolled steel sheet described above, and thus will not be described.
  • The second oxide layer according to an aspect of the present disclosure may be formed of an Fe-based oxide and may have a thickness of 0.1 to 10 µm.
  • When the thickness of the second oxide layer exceeds 10 µm, there is a problem that it is difficult to secure excellent surface quality, such as oxide peeling on the surface layer after hot press forming due to excessive oxide formation. On the other hand, when the thickness is less than 0.1 µm, phosphatability may be deteriorated, which may make it difficult to secure excellent surface quality. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a sum of contents of Si, Mn, and Cr in terms of wt% of the second oxide layer itself may be less than 30%, and preferably exceeds 0%.
  • Hereinafter, a microstructure of the member of the present disclosure will be described in detail.
  • In the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, % indicating a fraction of a microstructure is based on area.
  • The member according to an aspect of the present disclosure may have a microstructure containing martensite or bainite as a main phase.
  • The hot press formed member of the present disclosure may contain martensite or bainite as a main phase to secure high strength. More specifically, the microstructure features may refer to a microstructure of the base steel sheet of the member. In the present disclosure, the main phase may refer to a phase having the largest area fraction among several phases forming the microstructure. The area fraction of the main phase is not particularly limited, and according to an aspect of the present disclosure, the area fraction of the main phase may be 5 area% or more.
  • Hereinafter, manufacturing methods of a cold-rolled steel sheet and a member of the present disclosure will be described in detail.
  • A cold-rolled steel sheet according to an aspect of the present disclosure may be manufactured by subjecting a steel slab satisfying the alloy composition described above to reheating, hot rolling, coiling, cool rolling, and continuous annealing.
  • Reheating
  • A steel slab satisfying the alloy composition of the present disclosure may be reheated to a temperature range of 1,000 to 1,300°C.
  • When the reheating temperature is lower than 1,000°C, it is difficult to homogenize a slab structure, and when the temperature exceeds 1,300°C, excessive oxide formation and an increase in manufacturing costs may occur.
  • Hot rolling
  • The reheated steel slab may be hot-rolled at a finish rolling temperature of Ar3 to 1,000°C.
  • When the finish rolling temperature is lower than Ar3, two-phase region rolling may easily occur, such that a mixed grain structure may occur on a surface layer, and it may be difficult to control the shape of the hot-rolled steel sheet. On the other hand, when the temperature exceeds 1,000°C, grains of the hot-rolled steel sheet may be coarsened.
  • Cooling and coiling
  • The hot-rolled steel sheet may be cooled and coiled in a temperature range of Ms to 750°C.
  • When the coiling temperature is lower than Ms (martensite transformation start temperature), the strength of the hot-rolled steel sheet increases excessively, which may cause deterioration of cold rollability. On the other hand, when the temperature exceeds 750°C, an increase in thickness of the oxide layer and grain boundary oxidation on the surface layer occur, and thus, pickling properties may be deteriorated, and separation of grain boundaries on the surface layer may occur during annealing in a continuous annealing furnace. During cooling, a cooling rate is not particularly limited, and air cooling may be performed.
  • Cold rolling
  • The coiled steel sheet may be cold-rolled.
  • In the present disclosure, a reduction ratio of the cold rolling is not particularly limited, and the cold rolling may be performed at a reduction ratio of 30 to 80% to secure a target thickness.
  • In the present disclosure, the cold rolling may be performed to control the thickness of the steel sheet more precisely, and pickling may be performed before the cold rolling.
  • Continuous annealing
  • The cold-rolled steel sheet may be subjected to continuous annealing, and during the continuous annealing, a temperature increase rate at an atmosphere temperature of room temperature to 700°C may be 3.0 to 20.0°C/s, a temperature increase rate at an atmosphere temperature of 700 to 800°C may be 0.08 to 1.5°C/s, a temperature increase rate at an atmosphere temperature of 800 to 900°C may be 0.01 to 1.5°C/s, and a temperature increase rate at an atmosphere temperature of 900 to 1,000°C may be 0.01 to 1.0°C/s.
  • During the continuous annealing, in order to precisely control the thickness of the first oxide layer on the surface layer, in the present disclosure, a temperature increase rate of the atmosphere temperature is more strictly controlled. When the temperature increase rate of the atmosphere temperature is below the suggested lower limit, since the first oxide layer is formed excessively and the thickness thereof exceeds 500 nm, a second oxide layer having a sufficient thickness is not secured after hot press forming, and thus, phosphatability may be deteriorated, and excellent surface quality may not be secured. On the other hand, when the temperature increase rate of the atmosphere temperature exceeds the suggested upper limit, since the formation of the first oxide layer is insufficient, the second oxide layer is formed excessively after hot press forming, which may cause deterioration of surface quality such as surface scale peeling.
  • According to an aspect of the present disclosure, the continuous annealing may be performed in a steel sheet temperature range of 700 to 900°C. When the annealing temperature is lower than 700°, it may be difficult to restore and recrystallize a rolled structure created by cold rolling. On the other hand, when the temperature exceeds 900°C, the annealing equipment may be deteriorated, which may lead to an increase in process costs due to frequent equipment replacement.
  • According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a continuous annealing time may be 1 to 1,000 seconds. When the annealing time is shorter than 1 second, it is difficult to obtain the annealing effect, and when the time is longer than 1,000 seconds, the productivity may be reduced.
  • The member according to an aspect of the present disclosure may be manufactured by subjecting a cold-rolled steel sheet manufactured by the method described above to a heat treatment, hot press forming, and cooling.
  • Heat treatment
  • The cold-rolled steel sheet according to an aspect of the present disclosure may be subjected to a heat treatment, in which an A value defined in the following Relational Expression 1 may be 0.6 to 1.0, and the heat treatment may be performed by heating the cold-rolled steel sheet to the heating temperature at a temperature increase rate of 1 to 1,000°C/s.
  • In the present disclosure, in order to precisely control the thickness of the second oxide layer, the heating temperature and the heating time may be controlled through Relational Expression 1. When the A value defined in Relational Expression 1 is less than 0.6, in the case where the heat treatment is performed, the thickness of the second oxide layer is insufficient, such that phosphatability may be deteriorated, resulting in difficulties in securing excellent surface quality. On the other hand, when the value exceeds 1.0, the thickness of the second oxide layer is excessive, which makes it difficult to secure excellent surface quality due to peeling of the oxide layer.
  • The temperature increase rate in the heat treatment step may mean a temperature increase rate of the atmosphere in the continuous annealing furnace. When the temperature increase rate is less than 1°C/s, it may be difficult to secure sufficient productivity, and when the rate exceeds 1,000°C/s, an equipment requiring excessive costs may be required. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, the heating temperature may be 700°C or higher and 1,000°C or lower. The heating time according to an aspect of the present disclosure may be 150 seconds or longer and 1,000 seconds or shorter. A = T + 0.2 t / 1 , 210
    Figure imgb0002
  • (In the expression, T represents a heating temperature and a unit thereof is °C, and t represents a total heating time and a unit thereof is a second.)
  • Hot press forming and cooling
  • The heat-treated steel sheet may be subjected to hot press forming, and then cooled to an Mf temperature or lower at a cooling rate of 10 to 1,000°C/s.
  • When the cooling rate is less than 10°C/s, unwanted ferrite and pearlite may be formed, and it is difficult to secure a desired level of tensile strength. On the other hand, when the rate exceeds 1,000°C/s, an expensive special cooling equipment is required to control the rate, which may reduce productivity.
  • In a case where cooling is stopped when a cooling end temperature exceeds Mf (martensite transformation end temperature) and then cooling is performed to room temperature again, it may be difficult to secure shape fixability of the hot press formed member.
  • The hot press formed member according to an aspect of the present disclosure manufactured as described above has a tensile strength of 500 MPa or more, and may secure excellent strength and impact resistance.
  • Hereinafter, the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to Examples. However, the following Examples are provided to illustrate and describe the present disclosure in detail, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

  • Table 3 shows the measured thickness of the first oxide layer of the cold-rolled steel sheet after continuous annealing, and also shows the thickness of the second oxide layer of the member after the subsequent heat treatment, hot press forming, and cooling. Here, the thickness of the first oxide layer was measured using a transmission electron microscope (TEM), and the thickness of the second oxide layer was measured at three locations using a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and electron beam microanalysis (EPMA) and then was expressed as the average result. In addition, for the items with quality deterioration, scale peeling was observed with the naked eye and shown, and in the observation with the naked eye, when peeling of scale with an area of 5 mm2 or more occurred at 10 points or more, it was determined that the quality was deteriorated. Phosphate coverage was determined by observing a structure with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and then measuring an area of a portion where phosphate crystals were not formed to determine whether the quality was deteriorated. At this time, when the portion where phosphate crystals were formed exceeded 70%, it was determined that the phosphate properties were good. In addition, the yield strength, the tensile strength, and the elongation of the manufactured members were measured and shown. For the yield strength, the tensile strength, and the elongation, a tensile test was performed at room temperature using JIS-5 specimens according to the ISO 6892 standard. [Table 3]

  • In the cold-rolled steel sheet and the member satisfying the alloy composition and the manufacturing conditions of the present disclosure, the first oxide layer and the second oxide layer were formed within the thickness ranges suggested in the present disclosure, and excellent surface quality was secured even after hot press forming.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates photographs of the surface quality after hot press forming of each of Inventive Example 2 and Comparative Example 10. In Comparative Example 10, a thick oxide was formed compared to Inventive Example 2, and it was confirmed that the quality was deteriorated.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the phosphate coverage after hot press forming of each of Inventive Example 1 and Comparative Example 2. In Comparative Example 2, it was confirmed that less than 70% of phosphate crystals were formed.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the change in surface quality according to the heat treatment temperature and time conditions. The surface state was observed by controlling the hot press forming temperature and time, and it was confirmed that, when the heat treatment conditions were outside the ranges limited by Relational Expression 1, scale peeling occurred on the surface layer due to excessive formation of the second oxide layer on the surface layer after the heat treatment, or phosphatability was deteriorated due to excessive formation of the first oxide layer, which showed that the surface quality was deteriorated.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates photographs obtained by observing the surfaces after hot press forming of Invention Example 11 and Comparative Example 24. In Comparative Example 24 in which the heat treatment conditions exceeded the heat treatment conditions limited by Relational Expression 1, when the surface was observed with the naked eye in comparison with Inventive Example 11, scale was confirmed.
  • In Comparative Examples 1, 4, 5, 7, and 10, since the content of each element was below the required range suggested by the present disclosure, the formation of the first oxide layer was not appropriate, and as illustrated in FIG. 1, the thickness of the second oxide layer after hot press forming exceeded 10 µm, and surface scale was excessively formed after hot press forming; thus, excellent surface quality was not secured.
  • In Comparative Examples 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, and 11, the content of each component exceeded the required range suggested by the present disclosure, and thus, the first oxide layer was excessively formed after annealing. Due to this, a sufficient second oxide layer was not formed during hot press forming, and less than 70% of phosphate crystals were formed, and thus, the surface quality was deteriorated.
  • In addition, in the cases of Comparative Examples 12, 15, 17, 18, and 20 in which, during the continuous annealing, the temperature increase rate in each section exceeded any one of the ranges suggested by the present disclosure, as the first oxide layer was not sufficiently formed, the second oxide layer was excessively formed after hot press forming, and thus, scale peeling on the surface layer occurred and excellent surface quality was not secured.
  • In the cases of Comparative Examples 13, 14, 16, and 19, as the atmosphere temperature increase rate in each section was below the lower limit of the temperature increase rate limited in the present disclosure, phosphatability was deteriorated due to excessive formation of the first oxide layer, and thus, excellent surface quality was not secured.
  • In addition, even in the cases of Comparative Examples 21 and 22 in which some of the atmosphere temperatures in the respective sections were below the lower limit value or exceeded the upper limit value, as the first oxide layer was excessively formed and the second oxide layer was not easily formed after hot press forming, phosphatability was deteriorated, and thus, excellent surface quality was not secured.
  • In the cases of Comparative Examples 23, 25, 27, and 29, as the conditions were below the lower limits of the conditions limited in Relational Expression 1, the second oxide layer was not sufficiently formed, resulting in deterioration of phosphatability, and in the cases of Comparative Examples 24, 26, 28, and 30 in which the conditions exceeded the upper limits of the suggested ranges, as the thickness of the formed second oxide layer was thick, a large amount of Fe scale was formed, and thus, the surface quality was deteriorated.
