Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

To provide a steel sheet for hot stamping suitable for manufacturing, through hot-stamping working, a component having portions with different strengths, and a hot-stamped member having portions with different strengths. A steel sheet for hot stamping according to the present invention includes, on a surface of the steel sheet: a site having a surface-treated film whose emissivity at a wavelength of 8.0 μm at 25° C. is 60% or more; and a site at which the surface-treated film is not provided, in which the surface-treated film contains carbon black, and one or more of oxides selected from a group consisting of a Zr oxide, a Zn oxide, and a Ti oxide, in which the carbon black and the oxides exist while being dispersed over the entire surface-treated film, the surface-treated film has a silica content of 0 to 0.3 g/m 2 , and when an adhesion amount of the carbon black and an adhesion amount of the oxides are set to X CB (g/m 2 ) and X Oxide (g/m 2 ), respectively, an equation (1) below is satisfied.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A steel sheet for hot stamping comprising, on a surface of the steel sheet: a site having a surface-treated film whose emissivity at a wavelength of 8.0 μm at 25° C. is 60% or more; and a site at which the surface-treated film is not provided, wherein: the surface-treated film contains carbon black, and one or more of a Zr oxide, a Zn oxide, and a Ti oxide, in which the carbon black and the oxides exist while being dispersed over the entire surface-treated film; wherein the surface-treated film contains the carbon black of 5.0 to 40.0 vol %, the surface-treated film has a silica content of 0 to 0.3 g/m2; and when an adhesion amount of the carbon black and an adhesion amount of the oxides are set to X CB (g/m2) and X Oxide (g/m2), respectively, an equation (1) below is satisfied, 118.9≤24280/{6700/(100+76× X CB )+18000/(130+65× X Oxide )}≤332.0  Equation (1). 2 . The steel sheet for hot stamping according to claim 1 , wherein the surface-treated film contains the oxides of 1.0 to 30.0 vol %. 3 . The steel sheet for hot stamping according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio X Oxide /X CB between the adhesion amount X CB (g/m2) of the carbon black and the adhesion amount X Oxide (g/m2) of the oxides is 0.20 or more and 200.00 or less. 4 . The steel sheet for hot stamping according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesion amount X CB of the carbon black is 0.030 g/m2 or more, and the adhesion amount X Oxide of the oxides is 0.030 g/m2 or more. 5 . The steel sheet for hot stamping according to claim 1 , wherein an emissivity of the surface-treated film at a wavelength of 8.0 μm at 700° C. is 60% or more. 6 . The steel sheet for hot stamping according to claim 1 , wherein on one side or both sides of the steel sheet for hot stamping, a metal-plated layer is provided between a base material of the steel sheet and the surface-treated film. 7 . A hot-stamped member comprising, on a surface of a steel sheet: a site having a surface-treated film; and a site at which the surface-treated film is not provided, wherein: the surface-treated film contains one or more of a Zr oxide, a Zn oxide, and a Ti oxide, in which an adhesion amount X Oxide of the oxides is 0.030 g/m2 or more; the surface-treated film has a silica content of 0 to 0.3 g/m2; and the surface-treated film has a maximum Vickers hardness; when the Vickers hardness defined by JIS Z 2244 (2009) is measured, a site indicating a maximum hardness HVmax and a site indicating a minimum hardness HVmin exist, and a hardness difference ΔHV between the maximum hardness HVmax and the minimum hardness HVmin is 150 or more. 8 . The hot-stamped member according to claim 7 , wherein both the site indicating the maximum hardness HVmax and the site indicating the minimum hardness HVmin exist within a region composed of a common material.
