Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An aspect of the present invention relates to a cold-rolled steel plate for hot forming, which is excellent in corrosion-resistance and spot-weldability, contains, by weight %, C: 0.1-0.4%, Si: 0.5-2.0%, Mn: 0.01-4.0%, Al: 0.001-0.4%, P: 0.001-0.05%, S: 0.0001-0.02%, Cr: 0.5% to less than 3.0%, N: 0.001-0.02%, and a balance of Fe and inevitable impurities, satisfying formula (1) below, and includes an Si amorphous oxidation layer continuously or discontinuously formed at a thickness of 1 nm-100 nm on the surface thereof. Formula (1): 1.4≤0.4*Cr+Si≤3.2 (wherein element symbols denote measurements of respective element contents by weight %).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A cold-rolled steel plate for hot-forming, comprising: a base steel plate comprising Si: 0.5 to 2.0%, Mn: 0.01 to 4.0%, Cr: 0.5% or higher, and a balance of Fe and inevitable impurities by weight %, wherein the cold-rolled steel plate satisfies equation (1) below: 1.4≤0.4*Cr+Si≤3.2  equation (1): where each element symbol is a value of a content of each element measured by weight %; an Si-based amorphous oxide layer having a thickness of 1 nm to 100 nm is continuously or discontinuously formed on a surface of the cold-rolled steel plate, wherein the Si-based amorphous oxide layer comprises at least one of Fe, Mn, and Cr; and an Fe, Mn, and Cr oxide layer having a thickness of 2.5 μm or less is formed on the Si-based amorphous oxide layer, wherein the Fe, Mn, and Cr oxide layer comprises Si. 2. The cold-rolled steel plate of claim 1 , an amount of Si in the Si-based amorphous oxide layer is greater than an amount of Si in the Fe, Mn, and Cr oxide layer. 3. The cold-rolled steel plate of claim 1 , an amount of Fe, Mn, and Cr in the Fe, Mn, and Cr oxide layer is greater than an amount of Si in the Fe, Mn, and Cr oxide layer. 4. The cold-rolled steel plate of claim 1 , wherein the base steel plate further comprising C: 0.1 to 0.4%, Al: 0.001 to 0.4%, P: 0.001 to 0.05%, S: 0.0001 to 0.02%, and N: 0.001 to 0.02%, by weight %. 5. The cold-rolled steel plate of claim 1 , wherein the base steel plate further includes one or more selected from a) one or more selected from Ti, Nb, Zr, and V: 0.001 to 0.4% by weight %, and b) B: 0.0001 to 0.01% by weight %. 6. The cold-rolled steel plate of claim 1 , wherein the base steel plate further includes one or more selected from c) one or more of Mo and W: 0.001 to 1.0% by weight %, d) a sum of contents of Cu and Ni: 0.005 to 2.0% by weight %, and e) one or more of Sb and Sn: 0.001 to 1.0% by weight %. 7. The cold-rolled steel plate of claim 1 , wherein a microstructure of the cold-rolled steel plate includes ferrite and cementite.
