Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for producing a hot-pressed member includes heating a coated steel sheet, which includes, on a surface thereof, a Zn—Ni alloy coating layer containing 10% by mass or more and less than 13% by mass of Ni at a coating weight of over 50 g/m 2 per side of the steel sheet, in a temperature region of an Ac 3 transformation point to 1200° C. at an average heating rate of 12° C./second or more, and then hot-pressing the steel sheet.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing a hot-pressed member comprising heating a coated steel sheet, which includes, on a surface thereof, a Zn—Ni alloy coating layer containing 10% by mass or more and less than 13% by mass of Ni at a coating weight of over 50 g/m 2 per side of the steel sheet, in a temperature region of an Ac 3 transformation point to 1200° C. at an average heating rate of 12° C./second or more; and then hot-pressing the steel sheet. 2. The method for producing a hot-pressed member according to claim 1 , wherein the heating in the temperature range of the Ac 3 transformation point to 1200° C. is performed at an average heating rate of 85° C./second or more. 3. The method for producing a hot-pressed member according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein a base steel sheet of the coated steel sheet has a composition containing, by % by mass, C: 0.15 to 0.5%, Si: 0.05 to 2.0%, Mn: 0.5 to 3%, P: 0.1% or less, S: 0.05% or less, Al: 0.1% or less, N: 0.01% or less, and the balance including Fe and unavoidable impurities. 4. The method for producing a hot-pressed member according to claim 3 , wherein the base steel sheet of the coated steel sheet further contains, by % by mass, at least one selected from Cr: 0.01 to 1%, Ti: 0.2% or less, and B: 0.0005 to 0.08%. 5. The method for producing a hot-pressed member according claim 3 , wherein the base steel sheet of the coated steel sheet further contains, by % by mass, Sb: 0.003 to 0.03%. 6. The method for producing a hot-pressed member according to claim 4 , wherein the base steel sheet of the coated steel sheet further contains, by % by mass, Sb: 0.003 to 0.03%. 7. The method for producing a hot-pressed member according to any one of claim 1 or 2 , wherein the coated steel sheet further includes at least one compound layer selected from a Si-containing compound layer, a Ti-containing compound layer, an Al-containing compound layer, and a Zr-containing compound layer, which is provided on the Zn—Ni alloy coating layer. 8. The method for producing a hot-pressed member according to claim 7 , wherein a base steel sheet of the Ni based coated steel sheet has a composition containing, by % by mass, C: 0.15 to 0.5%, Si: 0.05 to 2.0%, Mn: 0.5 to 3%, P: 0.1% or less, S: 0.05% or less, Al: 0.1% or less, N: 0.01% or less, and the balance including Fe and unavoidable impurities. 9. The method for producing a hot-pressed member according to claim 8 , wherein the base steel sheet of the coated steel sheet further contains, by % by mass, Sb: 0.003 to 0.03%. 10. The method for producing a hot-pressed member according to claim 8 , wherein the base steel sheet of the coated steel sheet further contains, by % by mass, at least one selected from Cr: 0.01 to 1%, Ti: 0.2% or less, and B: 0.0005 to 0.08%. 11. The method for producing a hot-pressed member according to claim 10 , wherein the base steel sheet of the coated steel sheet further contains, by % by mass, Sb: 0.003 to 0.03%.
