Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hot stamped body.
  • Hot stamping is known as a technique for press-forming difficult-to-form materials such as high-strength steel plates.
  • Hot stamping is a hot forming technique in which the material to be formed is heated and then shaped. With this technique, the material is heated before being shaped, so the steel is soft and has good formability when formed. Therefore, even high-strength steel can be precisely formed into complex shapes, and because the material is quenched at the same time as it is formed using a press die, the steel is known to have sufficient strength after forming.
  • Patent Document 1 describes a steel sheet coated with a metal coating having an Al/Zn ratio of more than 2.9, which contains 2.0 to 24.0 wt. % zinc, 7.1 to 12.0 wt. % silicon, optional 1.1 to 8.0 wt. % magnesium, and optional additional elements selected from Pb, Ni, Zr, or Hf, with the weight content of each additional element being less than 0.3 wt. %, with the balance being aluminum and optional unavoidable impurities and residual elements, and teaches that a part obtained by hot stamping the steel sheet exhibits high sacrificial corrosion protection.

  • the present inventors have conducted further investigations and found that, by creating a structure capable of suppressing such recarburization in the surface layer of the steel base material before hot stamping, the LME suppression effect due to the initial low carbon concentration in the surface layer can be fully exerted, and the occurrence of LME cracking during spot welding after hot stamping can be reliably suppressed or reduced, even in the case where a predetermined amount of Zn-containing plating layer is included in order to maintain sufficient corrosion resistance.

  • C in the steel base material is not contained in the plating layer, C is concentrated relative to Fe near the surface of the steel base material. Therefore, even if the surface layer of the steel base material has a low carbon concentration due to decarburization or the like before hot stamping, the C concentration in the surface layer of the steel base material after hot stamping may be much higher than the C concentration in the bulk.
  • the diffusion of C from the bulk to the surface layer is suppressed by the above-mentioned interruption of the recarburization path, so that the concentration of C near the surface of the steel base material can be significantly suppressed or reduced compared to the case of a conventional plated steel sheet, and more specifically, the average C concentration from the surface of the steel base material to 1 ⁇ m in the depth direction can be suppressed to 0.25 mass% or less.

If the amount of such coarse pearlite formed along the grain boundaries increases, the formation of a carbon recarburization path by austenite along the grain boundaries is promoted during high-temperature heating in hot stamping. As a result, in the finally obtained hot stamped body, the average C concentration from the surface of the steel base material to 1 ⁇ m in the depth direction cannot be suppressed to 0.25 mass% or less, and sufficient LME resistance cannot be achieved during spot welding.
  • pearlite can be precipitated by cooling from a control temperature of 620 to 670 ° C. to a plating bath temperature (for example, the melting point of the plating bath + 20 ° C.) at an average cooling rate of 10 ° C./s or less. Since the pearlite precipitated at a low temperature range below such a control temperature has a relatively slow diffusion, it is not formed in a form connected along the grain boundaries, and it is possible to make the pearlite exist dispersedly on the grain boundaries.
  • a control temperature for example, the melting point of the plating bath + 20 ° C.
