Abstract

A hot-pressed member having a specified chemical composition in which Ti/Sb 2.0≤Ti/Sb≤20.0 is satisfied and a method for producing the hot-pressed member. The hot-pressed member has a microstructure in which a volume fraction of martensite is 95% or more, an average grain size of prior austenite is 7 μm or less, the number of cementite grains with a grain size of 0.10 μm or more is 2 grains/μm 2 or more, and the number of Ti-based carbide grains with a grain size of 0.10 μm or less is 0.20 grains/μm 2 or more, and a tensile strength of 2100 MPa or higher.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1 . A hot-pressed member having a chemical composition comprising, by mass %:
C: 0.42% or more and 0.53% or less; Si: 0.01% or more and 0.80% or less; Mn: 1.0% or more and 2.0% or less; P: 0.03% or less, S: 0.003% or less; Al: 0.01% or more and 0.10% or less; N: 0.006% or less; Nb: 0.003% or more and 0.018% or less; Ti: 0.008% or more and 0.100% or less; B: 0.0005% or more and 0.0050% or less; Sb: 0.003% or more and 0.015% or less; and a balance being Fe and incidental impurities, wherein Ti/Sb satisfies:
4.0≤Ti/Sb≤10.0,

the hot-pressed member has a microstructure in which a volume fraction of martensite is 95% or more, an average grain size of prior austenite is 7 μm or less, a number of cementite grains with a grain size of 0.10 μm or more is 2 grains/μm 2 or more, and a number of Ti-based carbide grains with a grain size of 0.10 μm or less is 0.28 grains/μm 2 or more, and the hot-pressed member has a tensile strength of 2100 MPa or higher.

2 . The hot-pressed member according to claim 1 , wherein the chemical composition further comprises, by mass %, at least one selected from the group consisting of Mo: 0.35% or less, Cr: 0.35% or less, V: 0.05% or less, Ca: 0.005% or less, Cu: 0.50% or less, Ni: 0.50% or less, and Sn: 0.50% or less.

3 . The hot-pressed member according to claim 1 , wherein the hot-pressed member has an Al-based coating layer or a Zn-based coating layer on a surface thereof.

4 . A method for producing the hot-pressed member according to claim 1 , the method comprising:
heating a cold rolled steel sheet having the chemical composition to a temperature in a range of an Ac 3 transformation temperature or higher and 1000° C. or lower, followed by hot pressing; then cooling the steel sheet to a temperature lower than or equal to Ms temperature minus 200° C.; and reheating the steel sheet at a reheating temperature in a range of 100° C. or higher and 220° C. or lower for a holding time in a range of 1 minute or more and 40 minutes or less.

5 . The hot-pressed member according to claim 2 , wherein the hot-pressed member has an Al-based coating layer or a Zn-based coating layer on a surface thereof.

6 . A method for producing the hot-pressed member according to claim 2 , the method comprising:
heating a cold rolled steel sheet having the chemical composition to a temperature in a range of an Ac 3 transformation temperature or higher and 1000° C. or lower, followed by hot pressing; then cooling the steel sheet to a temperature lower than or equal to Ms temperature minus 200° C.; and reheating the steel sheet at a reheating temperature in a range of 100° C. or higher and 220° C. or lower for a holding time in a range of 1 minute or more and 40 minutes or less.
