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 hot-formed product, comprising: a base steel; a first oxide layer comprising Si on the base steel; and a second oxide layer comprising Fe on the first oxide layer; wherein a first thickness of the first oxide layer is smaller than a first thickness of the second oxide layer. 2 . The hot-formed product of claim 1 , wherein the first oxide layer comprises Mn. 3 . The hot-formed product of claim 1 , wherein the first oxide layer comprises Cr. 4 . The hot-formed product of claim 1 , wherein the first oxide layer comprises Fe. 5 . The hot-formed product of claim 1 , wherein the second oxide layer comprises Mn. 6 . The hot-formed product of claim 1 , wherein the second oxide layer comprises Cr. 7 . The hot-formed product of claim 1 , wherein the second oxide layer comprises Si. 8 . The hot-formed product of claim 1 , wherein the first thickness of the first oxide layer is smaller than a second thickness of the first oxide layer. 9 . The hot-formed product of claim 1 , wherein the first thickness of the second oxide layer is smaller than a second thickness of the second oxide layer. 10 . The hot-formed product of claim 1 , wherein an amount of Cr of the first oxide layer is greater than an amount of Cr of the second oxide layer. 11 . A hot-formed product, comprising: a base steel; a first oxide layer comprising Si on the base steel; and a second oxide layer comprising Fe on the first oxide layer; wherein the first oxide layer is continuously or discontinuously formed on the base steel. 12 . The hot-formed product of claim 11 , wherein the first oxide layer comprises Mn. 13 . The hot-formed product of claim 11 , wherein the first oxide layer comprises Cr. 14 . The hot-formed product of claim 11 , wherein the first oxide layer comprises Fe. 15 . The hot-formed product of claim 11 , wherein the second oxide layer comprises Mn. 16 . The hot-formed product of claim 11 , wherein the second oxide layer comprises Cr. 17 . The hot-formed product of claim 11 , wherein the second oxide layer comprises Si. 18 . The hot-formed product of claim 11 , wherein a first thickness of the first oxide layer is smaller than a second thickness of the first oxide region. 19 . The hot-formed product of claim 11 , wherein a first thickness of the second oxide layer is smaller than a second thickness of the second oxide region. 20 . The hot-formed product of claim 11 , wherein an amount of Cr of the first oxide layer is greater than an amount of Cr of the second oxide region.
