Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

[Object] To provide an Al-plated steel sheet used for hot pressing that has excellent lubricity in hot state, corrosion resistance after paint coating, and spot weldability. [Solution] An Al-plated steel sheet used for hot pressing according to the present invention includes: a steel sheet; an Al plating layer formed on one surface or both surfaces of the steel sheet; and a surface coating layer formed on the Al plating layer. The surface coating layer contains a zinc compound, and the zinc compound is deposited on the Al-plated steel sheet in an amount of equal to or greater than 0.3 g/m 2 and equal to or less than 1.5 g/m 2 as an amount of metallic zinc per one surface, and a zinc deposition amount in any continuous 1 mm 2 region is 1.5 g/m 2 or less.

First claim

1 .- 10 . (canceled) 11 . An Al-plated steel sheet used for hot pressing, comprising: a steel sheet; an Al plating layer formed on one surface or both surfaces of the steel sheet; and a surface coating layer formed on the Al plating layer, wherein the surface coating layer contains a zinc compound, and the zinc compound is deposited on the Al-plated steel sheet in an amount of equal to or greater than 0.3 g/m 2 and equal to or less than 1.5 g/m 2 as an amount of metallic zinc per one surface, and a zinc deposition amount in any continuous 1 mm 2 region is 1.5 g/m 2 or less. 12 . The Al-plated steel sheet used for hot pressing according to claim 11 , wherein the zinc compound in the surface coating layer is zinc oxide. 13 . The Al-plated steel sheet used for hot pressing according to claim 11 , wherein an average length RSm of a profile element in a roughness curve of a surface of the Al-plated steel sheet used for hot pressing after the formation of the surface coating layer is 500 μm or less. 14 . The Al-plated steel sheet used for hot pressing according to claim 12 , wherein an average length RSm of a profile element in a roughness curve of a surface of the Al-plated steel sheet used for hot pressing after the formation of the surface coating layer is 500 μm or less. 15 . A method for manufacturing an Al-plated steel sheet used for hot pressing, comprising the steps of: applying an application liquid containing a zinc compound and having a contact angle of equal to or greater than 20° and equal to or less than 50° with respect to the Al-plated steel sheet onto the Al-plated steel sheet including a steel sheet and the Al plating layer formed on one surface or both surfaces of the steel sheet; and drying the Al-plated steel sheet onto which the application liquid has been applied, at a peak metal temperature of equal to or higher than 60° C. and equal to or lower than 200° C., to form a surface coating layer containing the zinc compound on the Al plating layer. 16 . The method for manufacturing an Al-plated steel sheet used for hot pressing according to claim 15 , wherein a surface tension of the application liquid at 25° C. is equal to or greater than 20 mN/m and equal to or less than 60 mN/m. 17 . The method for manufacturing an Al-plated steel sheet used for hot pressing according to claim 15 , wherein a viscosity of the application liquid at 25° C. is equal to or greater than 2 mPa·s and equal to or less than 20 mPa·s. 18 . The method for manufacturing an Al-plated steel sheet used for hot pressing according to claim 16 , wherein a viscosity of the application liquid at 25° C. is equal to or greater than 2 mPa·s and equal to or less than 20 mPa·s. 19 . The method for manufacturing an Al-plated steel sheet used for hot pressing according to claim 15 , wherein the application liquid is applied onto the Al plating layer with a roll coater. 20 . The method for manufacturing an Al-plated steel sheet used for hot pressing according to claim 15 , wherein the zinc compound is zinc oxide. 21 . The method for manufacturing an Al-plated steel sheet used for hot pressing according to claim 15 , wherein in the manufactured surface coating layer, the zinc compound is deposited on the Al-plated steel sheet in an amount of equal to or greater than 0.3 g/m 2 and equal to or less than 1.5 g/m 2 as an amount of metallic zinc per one surface, and a zinc deposition amount in any continuous 1 mm 2 region is 1.5 g/m 2 or less. 22 . The method for manufacturing an Al-plated steel sheet used for hot pressing according to claim 15 , wherein an average length RSm of a profile element in a roughness curve of a surface of the manufactured Al-plated steel sheet used for hot pressing after the formation of the surface coating layer is 500 μm or less.
