Abstract

A method for manufacturing a hot press formed part, includes: preparing a hot press forming object comprising a single-ply portion and a two-ply portion; heating the hot press forming object to a temperature range from an Ac3 transformation temperature of a base steel sheet of the first coated steel sheet to 1000° C.; press forming the hot press forming object to obtain a formed body, the press forming being started upon temperatures of the single-ply portion and of the two-ply portion being no higher than solidification points of Zn—Ni coating layers of the first and second coated steel sheets and no lower than an Ar3 transformation temperature of the base steel sheet of the first coated steel sheet; and quenching the formed body to thereby obtain a hot press formed part, in which the hot press forming object has a thickness ratio from 1.4 to 5.0.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for manufacturing a hot press formed part, comprising:
preparing a hot press forming object comprising a single-ply portion and a two-ply portion by welding first and second coated steel sheets together in partially overlapping relationship, each of the first and second coated steel sheets having a Zn—Ni coating layer formed on a surface thereof;
heating the hot press forming object to a temperature range from an Ac 3 transformation temperature of a base steel sheet of the first coated steel sheet to 1000° C.;
then, cooling the hot press forming object,
then, press forming the hot press forming object to obtain a formed body, the press forming being started upon the temperatures of the single-ply portion and of the two-ply portion being no higher than solidification points of the Zn—Ni coating layers of the first and second coated steel sheets and no lower than the Ara transformation temperature of the base steel sheet of the first coated steel sheet; and
quenching the formed body, while squeezing the formed body by a tool of press forming and holding at its press bottom dead center, to thereby obtain a hot press formed part,
wherein the hot press forming object has a thickness ratio, expressed as t 2 /t 1 , from 1.4 to 5.0 where t 1 denotes a thickness in millimeters of the single-ply portion and t 2 denotes a thickness in millimeters of the two-ply portion, and
wherein the solidification point of each of the Zn—Ni coating layers of the first and second coated steel sheets is 800° C. or higher.

2. The method for manufacturing a hot press formed part according to claim 1 , wherein each of the Zn—Ni coating layers of the first and second coated steel sheets has an Ni content from 9 mass % to 25 mass %.

3. The method for manufacturing a hot press formed part according to claim 1 , wherein the following relations are satisfied:
−0.35×[Ni %] 1 2 +17.1×[Ni %] 1 +72≥153×ln( t 2 /t 1 )+9.6; and

−0.35×[Ni %] 2 2 +17.1×[Ni %] 2 +72≥153×ln( t 2 /t 1 )+9.6,

where [Ni %] 1 denotes the Ni content in mass % in the Zn—Ni coating layer of the first coated steel sheet and [Ni %] 2 denotes the Ni content in mass % in the Zn—Ni coating layer of the second coated steel sheet.

4. A hot press formed part manufactured by the method as recited in claim 1 .

5. The method for manufacturing a hot press formed part according to claim 2 , wherein the following relations are satisfied:
−0.35×[Ni %] 1 2 +17.1×[Ni %] 1 +72≥153×ln( t 2 /t 1 )+9.6; and

−0.35×[Ni %] 2 2 +17.1×[Ni %] 2 +72≥153×ln( t 2 /t 1 )+9.6,

where [Ni %] 1 denotes the Ni content in mass % in the Zn—Ni coating layer of the first coated steel sheet and [Ni %] 2 denotes the Ni content in mass % in the Zn—Ni coating layer of the second coated steel sheet.

6. A hot press formed part manufactured by the method as recited in claim 2 .

7. A hot press formed part manufactured by the method as recited in claim 3 .

8. A hot press formed part manufactured by the method as recited in claim 5 .

9. The method for manufacturing a hot press formed part according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness ratio of the hot press forming object is more than 2.0 to 5.0.

10. The method for manufacturing a hot press formed part according to claim 2 , wherein the thickness ratio of the hot press forming object is more than 2.0 to 5.0.

11. The method for manufacturing a hot press formed part according to claim 3 , wherein the thickness ratio of the hot press forming object is more than 2.0 to 5.0.

12. The method for manufacturing a hot press formed part according to claim 5 , wherein the thickness ratio of the hot press forming object is more than 2.0 to 5.0.

13. A hot press formed part manufactured by the method as recited in claim 9 .

14. A hot press formed part manufactured by the method as recited in claim 10 .

15. A hot press formed part manufactured by the method as recited in claim 11 .

16. A hot press formed part manufactured by the method as recited in claim 12 .
