Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A hot stamped component, includes: a base material; and a Zn-based plating layer provided in contact with the base material as an upper layer of the base material and containing Zn and Ni. A region of the Zn-based plating layer on a base material side is a Fe—Zn solid solution containing Ni, and two or more twins exist in 10 crystal grains of the Fe—Zn solid solution containing Ni adjacent to an interface between the base material and the Zn-based plating layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A hot stamped component, comprising: a steel base material; and a plating layer provided in contact with the steel base material as an upper layer of the steel base material and comprising 20% by mass or more Zn and 1.0% by mass or more Ni, each at a center position of a thickness of the plating layer wherein the center position is between the surface of the plating layer and a position in which a content of Fe is 95.0% by mass, wherein a region of the plating layer on a steel base material side is a Fe—Zn solid solution comprising Ni, and two or more twins exist in 10 crystal grains of the Fe—Zn solid solution adjacent to an interface between the steel base material and the plating layer. 2. The hot stamped component according to claim 1 , wherein the plating layer has a single-phase structure of the Fe—Zn solid solution. 3. The hot stamped component according to claim 1 , wherein a surface layer side of the plating layer has a single-phase structure of a Zn—Fe—Ni alloy or a two-phase structure of a Zn—Fe—Ni alloy and a Fe—Zn solid solution and the plating layer excluding the surface layer side is a single-phase structure of the Fe—Zn solid solution.
