Specification

Title of the invention: Steel plate, tailored blank, hot press molded product, steel pipe, hollow hardened molded product, and method for manufacturing steel plate.
Technical field
[0001]
 The present disclosure relates to steel sheets, tailored blanks, hot press molded products, steel pipes, hollow hardened molded products, and methods for manufacturing steel sheets.
 This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-119189 filed in Japan on June 22, 2018 and Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-119190 filed in Japan on June 22, 2018. Is used here.
Background technology
[0002]
 In recent years, in order to reduce CO 2 gas emissions from the viewpoint of protecting the global environment, weight reduction of automobile bodies has become an urgent issue in the automobile field. On the other hand, the application of high-strength steel sheets is being actively studied, and the strength of the steel sheets is increasing more and more.
[0003]
 Hot stamping (hereinafter, may be referred to as "hot stamping") is attracting attention as one of the techniques for molding automobile members. In hot stamping, a steel sheet is heated to a high temperature, press-formed in a temperature range equal to or higher than the Ar3 transformation temperature, rapidly cooled by heat removal by a die, and transformed at the same time as molding under a press pressure. Thereby, it is a technique capable of producing a hot press molded product (hereinafter, may be referred to as "hot stamp molded product") having high strength and excellent shape freezing property.
[0004]
 Further, in order to improve the yield and functionality of press-formed products of automobile members, butt-welded members (hereinafter, "tailored blanks") in which the end faces of at least two steel plates are butted and joined by laser welding, plasma welding, or the like. ”) Is applied as a material for pressing. Since the tailored blank joins a plurality of steel plates according to the purpose, the plate thickness and strength can be freely changed in one component. As a result, the tailored blank can improve the functionality of the automobile member and reduce the number of automobile members. Further, by hot stamping using a tailored blank, it is possible to manufacture a high-strength press-molded product in which the plate thickness, strength, etc. are freely changed.
[0005]
 When a tailored blank is used as a press material and a member for an automobile is molded by hot stamping, the tailored blank is heated to, for example, a temperature range of 800 ° C. to 1000 ° C. For this reason, a steel plate plated with aluminum such as Al—Si, which has a high plating boiling point, is often used as a tailored blank for hot stamping.
[0006]
 So far, as a steel plate for forming a tailored blank, for example, a steel plate having a plating layer has been variously studied (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 7).

[0017]
 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, in the steel plate 100 of the present disclosure, aluminum-plated layers 14 are formed on both surfaces of the base steel plate 12, and between the base steel plate 12 and the aluminum-plated layer 14 between metals. The compound layer 16 is formed.

[0019]
 Conventionally, a tailored blank is known in which a steel plate plated with a metal mainly containing aluminum is butt-welded by a welding method such as laser welding or plasma welding. In this tailored blank, a large amount of aluminum due to aluminum plating may be mixed in the weld metal part. When the tailored blank thus obtained is hot stamped, the weld metal portion of the butt weld may be softened. For example, in a tailored blank after this hot stamping, as a result of a tensile strength test of a portion including a weld metal portion, it has been reported that a fracture occurs in the weld metal portion.
[0020]
 In order to avoid breakage of the weld metal portion, for example, in Patent Document 1, the aluminum plating layer 14 of the welded portion to be welded is removed to obtain a steel plate in which the intermetal compound layer 16 remains, and the steel plate is scheduled to be welded. A tailored blank in which the portions are butt welded is disclosed.
[0021]
 However, the fatigue strength of the joint is reduced in the tailored blank in which the aluminum plating layer 14 is removed to form a steel sheet in which the intermetallic compound layer 16 is left, and the end faces of the regions in which the intermetallic compound layer 16 is left are abutted and welded by butt welding. To do.
 In the case of a steel plate in which the intermetallic compound layer 16 remains in the planned welding portion, since the hard and brittle intermetallic compound layer 16 remains, the weld metal portion and the region where the aluminum plating layer 14 is not removed (stress concentration). Part) is affected by the intermetallic compound layer 16 remaining. As a result, a tailored blank is formed from the steel plate disclosed in Patent Document 1, and the hot stamped product using the tailored blank loses the fatigue strength of the joint when repeatedly subjected to a load. Therefore, the steel sheet in which only the aluminum-plated layer 14 of the planned welding portion is removed and the intermetallic compound layer 16 is left is insufficiently applied to a portion where fatigue characteristics are important.
[0022]
 Further, Patent Documents 2 to 6 disclose a tailored blank in which the aluminum plating layer 14 and the intermetallic compound layer 16 of the planned welding portion are removed from the steel plate, and the planned welding portion of the steel plate is butt-welded. There is.
[0023]
 However, in the steel sheets disclosed in Patent Documents 2 to 6, at the boundary between the exposed portion 22 and the plated portion 26, the thickness of the coating film after painting varies depending on the cross-sectional shape of the boundary. Corrosion resistance decreases after painting. Further, when the intermetallic compound layer and the aluminum plating layer are removed, a part of the base steel sheet may be removed together with the intermetallic compound layer and the aluminum plating layer. Then, depending on the state in which the base steel plate is removed, the fatigue strength and static strength of the joint are reduced.
[0024]
 On the other hand, Patent Document 7 discloses that the side surface of the cut hole is processed into a convex curved surface from the viewpoint of ensuring the corrosion resistance after painting of the hole-drilled surface.
 However, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 7, drilling is performed by laser cutting. Since this technique is a technique for obtaining a shape by melt cutting depending on the irradiation direction of the laser beam, it is not a technique suitable for removing both the intermetallic compound layer 16 and the aluminum plating layer 14.
[0025]
 On the other hand, in the steel plate 100 of the present disclosure, at least a part of the end portion of the steel plate 100, the aluminum plating layer 14 and the intermetallic compound layer 16 on both sides are removed, and the exposed portion 22 where the base steel plate 12 is exposed is provided. Have. Further, it has a plating portion 26 that does not remove the aluminum plating layer 14 and the intermetallic compound layer 16. Further, on the cross-sectional portion of the boundary between the exposed portion 22 and the plating portion 26, an aluminum plating layer which is a plating portion 26 formed in a convex shape having a radius of curvature represented by R1 on the outer surface side of the steel plate 100 at this boundary. Has 14. And R1 is 5 μm or more.
[0026]
 The steel plate 100 of the present disclosure has an aluminum plating layer 14 of the plating portion 26 having a radius of curvature represented by R1 on the outer surface side of the steel plate 100 at the boundary between the exposed portion 22 and the plating portion 26. Even when the surroundings are coated, the occurrence of variation in the thickness of the coated coating film is suppressed. Therefore, corrosion resistance is ensured after welding. However, if R1 is too small, the thickness of the coating film varies widely. Therefore, by setting R1 to 5 μm or more, corrosion resistance after painting is ensured.
[0027]
 By having the exposed portion 22 whose radius of curvature is represented by R2 on the other end side of the boundary 100B (the end side of the exposed portion 22 on the plated portion 26 side), the fatigue strength of the joint obtained by using the steel plate 100 can be determined. The decrease is suppressed. That is, since the shape of the end portion of the exposed portion 22 on the plated portion 26 side is a concave curve represented by the radius of curvature R2, the stress concentration is suppressed and the steel plate 100 obtained by exposing the base steel plate 12 is used. The decrease in fatigue strength of the joint is suppressed.
 However, if R2 is too small, the stress concentration becomes high when a stress load is applied to the joint. Therefore, the fatigue strength of the joint is ensured by setting R2 to 260 μm or more. Since the steel plate 100 of the present disclosure has the above configuration, the static strength of the joint of the butt welded member using the steel plate 100 of the present disclosure is also excellent.
 When R1 is 5 μm or more and R2 is 260 μm or more, the corrosion resistance after painting is further improved as compared with the case where only the condition of R1 is satisfied, which is preferable.
[0028]
 Therefore, the tailored blank (butt-welded member) obtained by butt-welding the end faces of the ends having the exposed portions 22 using the steel plate 100 of the present disclosure is hard between the weld metal portion and the plated portion 26. It does not have a brittle intermetallic compound layer 16. Further, the outer surface side of the steel plate 100 at the boundary between the exposed portion 22 and the plated portion 26 satisfies the above condition. Therefore, even when the tailored blank made of the steel plate 100 of the present disclosure is used as a hot stamped product, it is considered that the decrease in fatigue strength of the joint is suppressed. Further, since the variation in the thickness of the coating film after coating is suppressed, it is considered that the welded portion is excellent in corrosion resistance after coating even after coating on the hot stamp molded product.
[0029]
 Hereinafter, the steel sheet of the present disclosure will be described.
[0030]
[Base steel plate] The
 base steel plate 12 is a steel plate before the aluminum plating layer 14 is provided. The base steel sheet 12 may be obtained by a usual method and is not particularly limited. The base steel plate 12 may be either a hot-rolled steel plate or a cold-rolled steel plate. Further, the thickness of the base steel plate 12 may be set according to the purpose, and is not particularly limited. For example, as for the plate thickness of the base steel plate 12, the plate thickness of the entire steel plate after the aluminum plating layer 14 is provided may be 0.8 mm to 4 mm, and further to be 1 mm to 3 mm. The thickness of the plate can be mentioned.
[0031]
 The base steel sheet 12 means, for example, various properties related to mechanical deformation and fracture such as high mechanical strength (for example, tensile strength, yield point, elongation, drawing, hardness, impact value, fatigue strength, etc.). It is preferable to use a steel plate formed so as to have.). Specifically, a steel plate having a tensile strength of 400 to 2700 MPa can be used. The plate thickness is 0.7 mm to 3.2 mm. As the base steel plate 12, a steel plate having low mechanical strength may be used. Specifically, they are 1300 MPa class, 1200 MPa class, 1000 MPa class, 600 MPa class, and 500 MPa class. For example, in the case of a B-pillar of an automobile, a steel plate having a tensile strength of 1500 to 2000 MPa is used from the upper part to the central part where deformation is desired to be prevented, and a steel plate having a tensile strength of 500 MPa to 1500 MPa is used for the lower part which is an energy absorbing part. Is desirable. More preferably, the lower part is a steel plate of 600 MPa class to 1300 MPa class. The thickness of the steel plate of the B-pillar is preferably 1.4 mm to 2.6 mm at the upper part and 1.0 mm to 1.6 mm at the lower part.
[0032]
 As an example of the base steel sheet 12, various properties related to mechanical deformation and fracture such as high mechanical strength (for example, tensile strength, yield point, elongation, drawing, hardness, impact value, fatigue strength, etc.) It is preferable to use a steel plate formed so as to have (meaning).

[0048]
[Aluminum plating layer] The
 aluminum plating layer 14 is formed on both surfaces of the base steel plate 12. The method for forming the aluminum plating layer 14 is not particularly limited. For example, the aluminum plating layer 14 is formed on both sides of the base steel plate 12 by a hot-dip galvanizing method (a method of immersing the base steel plate 12 in a molten metal bath containing mainly aluminum to form the aluminum plating layer 14). May be good.
[0049]
 Here, the aluminum plating layer 14 is a plating layer containing aluminum as a main component, and may contain 50% by mass or more of aluminum.

Prevent the occurrence. Further, the aluminum plating layer 14 has a higher boiling point and melting point than a plating coating made of an organic material or a plating coating made of another metal material (for example, a zinc material). Therefore, when the hot press molded product is molded, the coating does not evaporate, so that the surface protection effect is high.
[0052]
 The aluminum plating layer 14 can be alloyed with iron (Fe) in the base steel sheet 12 by heating during hot dip galvanizing and hot press forming.

[0056]
 Cutting is performed so that the cross section of the steel plate 100 is exposed, and the cross section of the steel plate 100 is polished. The orientation of the cross section of the exposed steel sheet 100 is not particularly limited. However, the cross section of the steel sheet 100 is preferably a cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the exposed portion 22.

The plate thickness (thickness) of the base steel plate 12 is preferably measured using a scale with an optical microscope.
[0057]
As

The region where the aluminum concentration is 0.06% by mass or more is determined to be the intermetallic compound layer 16 or the aluminum plating layer 14. Further, among the intermetallic compound layer 16 and the aluminum plating layer 14, the region where the iron (Fe) concentration is more than 4% by mass is the intermetallic compound layer 16, and the region where the iron concentration is 4% by mass or less is the aluminum plating layer 14.

 The thickness of the intermetallic compound layer 16 is defined as the distance from the boundary between the base steel plate 12 and the intermetallic compound layer 16 to the boundary between the intermetallic compound layer 16 and the aluminum plating layer 14. Further, the distance from the boundary between the intermetallic compound layer 16 and the aluminum plating layer 14 to the surface of the steel plate 100 on which the aluminum plating layer 14 is formed is defined as the thickness of the aluminum plating layer 14.
[0058]
 The thickness of the aluminum plating layer 14 and the thickness of the intermetallic compound layer 16 are linearly analyzed from the surface of the steel plate 100 to the surface of the base steel plate 12 (the boundary between the base steel plate 12 and the intermetallic compound layer 16), and the following Measure in this way.
 The thickness of the aluminum plating layer 14 is obtained by dividing the thickness from the surface of the steel plate 100 having the aluminum plating layer 14 to the intermetallic compound layer 16 into five equal parts in the region other than the end portion according to the above-mentioned criteria. The thickness of the aluminum plating layer 14 is defined as the average value of the obtained values ​​obtained at the position of.
 For example, when measuring the thickness of the plated portion 26, taking the plated portion 26 of FIGS. 1 and 5 as an example, the longitudinal direction of the exposed portion 22 (the X direction in FIGS. 1 and 5, hereinafter referred to as the third direction). The thickness of the aluminum plating layer 14 at five positions obtained by dividing the total length of the plated portion 26 in the third direction (the same applies to the specification of the total length below) into five equal parts was obtained, and the obtained values ​​were averaged. The value may be the thickness of the aluminum plating layer 14. Here, the thickness measurement position in the first direction F1 is performed at a position halved of the width of the plating portion 26 in each of the five cross-sectional views (hereinafter, the thickness measurement is performed in the same manner). The width of the plating portion 26 indicates the distance between the edges of the plating portion 26 in the first direction F1, and is also simply referred to as the width of the plating portion 26.
 The distinction between the aluminum plating layer 14, the intermetallic compound layer 16, and the base steel plate 12 at the time of thickness measurement is determined according to the above-mentioned determination criteria. When the exposed portion 22 is extended on the curve, the thickness may be obtained at a portion where the total length along the curve is divided into five equal parts.
 Similarly, when measuring the thickness of the intermetallic compound layer 16, the intermetallic compound layer 16 is divided into five equal parts in the third direction, and the total length of the intermetallic compound layer 16 is divided into five equal parts. The thickness of the compound layer 16 is obtained, and the value obtained by averaging the obtained values ​​is taken as the thickness of the intermetallic compound layer 16. When measuring the thickness of the intermetallic compound layer 16 of the plating portion 26, the thickness is measured at a position halved of the width of the plating portion 26, as in the case of measuring the thickness of the aluminum plating layer 14. Further, the distinction between the aluminum plating layer 14, the intermetallic compound layer 16 and the base steel plate 12 at the time of thickness measurement is determined according to the above-mentioned determination criteria.
[0059]
[End
 of Steel Sheet ] The steel plate 100 of the present disclosure has exposed portions 22 on both sides of the end portion of the steel plate 100 in which the base steel plate 12 is exposed. The exposed portion 22 is present in at least a part of the end portion. Further, the plating portion 26 is provided on the central portion side of the steel plate 100 with respect to the exposed portion 22. The plated portion 26 has a structure similar to that in the region other than the end portion.
[0060]
(Exposed portion) The
 exposed portion 22 is formed on both sides of the end portion of the steel plate 100 to be welded, and is formed along the edge of the steel plate 100. That is, the exposed portion 22 is formed in a range from the edge of the steel plate 100 to the boundary between the exposed portion 22 and the plated portion 26 at the end portion to be welded. Here, taking FIGS. 2 and 6 as examples, the exposed portion 22 is formed in a range from the end face 100A of the steel sheet 100 to the boundary 100B. In the case of FIGS. 2 and 6, the width of the exposed portion 22 is W.
[0061]
 The exposed portions 22 formed on at least both sides of the end portion of the steel plate 100 are formed at the boundary between the weld metal portion formed on the joint and the steel plate 100 after the end portions of the steel plate 100 to be welded are butt-welded. It suffices that the aluminum plating layer 14 and the intermetallic compound layer 16 are formed so as not to remain. The exposed portion 22 is provided on both sides of at least a part of the end portion of the steel plate 100 along the edge of the steel plate 100 so as to be in this state.
[0062]
 The width of the exposed portion 22 is (maximum width of weld metal portion × 1.2) / 2 to (welded metal) in terms of fatigue strength of the joint when it is a butt welded member and a hot press molded product, and corrosion resistance after painting. It is preferable to satisfy the relationship of maximum width of part × 4) / 2. The fatigue strength of the joint and the corrosion resistance after painting depend on the maximum width of the molten metal. As the maximum width of the weld metal portion, the larger width of the front surface (first surface) and the back surface (second surface) may be adopted. The maximum width of each weld metal portion on the front surface and the back surface may satisfy the above relation.
[0063]
 By setting the upper limit of the width of the exposed portion 22 to the above range, it becomes easy to suppress a decrease in fatigue strength of the joint when the butt welded member and the hot press molded product are used. Further, when a hot press molded product is used, a decrease in corrosion resistance after painting of the welded portion is likely to be suppressed. Further, when the hot press molded product is used, the range in which the scale is formed does not become too wide, so that damage to the press mold is easily suppressed. On the other hand, by setting the lower limit of the width of the exposed portion 22 to the above range, it is possible to prevent the aluminum plating layer 14 and the intermetallic compound layer 16 from being melted by the laser for butt welding during butt welding. Therefore, the mixing of the aluminum component into the weld metal portion is suppressed, so that the fracture of the molten metal is easily suppressed.
[0064]
 In the same respect, the width of the exposed portion 22 in the first direction F1 is preferably 0.1 mm or more on average. More preferably, the width of the exposed portion 22 is 0.2 mm or more. By setting the width of the exposed portion 22 to 0.1 mm or more, it is possible to prevent aluminum from remaining at the end portion of the weld metal portion during welding of the tailored blank. The width of the exposed portion 22 is preferably 5.0 mm or less. By setting the width of the exposed portion 22 to 5.0 mm or less, deterioration of corrosion resistance after painting can be suppressed. When the butt welding is laser welding, the width of the exposed portion 22 is preferably 0.5 mm or more, and the width of the exposed portion 22 is 1.5 mm or less. When the butt welding is plasma welding, the width of the exposed portion 22 is preferably 1.0 mm or more, and the width of the exposed portion 22 is preferably 4.0 mm or less.
 Here, referring to FIG. 2, the width of the exposed portion 22 is the distance from the edge of the end face 100A of the steel plate 100 to the boundary 100B between the exposed portion 22 and the plating portion 26, and is represented by W. The width of the exposed portion 22 is, for example, the width of the exposed portion 22 measured from five cross sections obtained by dividing the total length of the exposed portion 22 in the third direction (X direction) into five equal parts using a microscope, and the average value thereof. And.
[0065]
 The range of the depth D is not particularly limited as long as the aluminum plating layer 14 and the intermetallic compound layer 16 can be removed and the base steel plate 12 can be exposed. That is, the range of the depth D may be equal to or larger than the total thickness of the aluminum plating layer 14 and the intermetallic compound layer 16. However, from the viewpoint of static strength (joint static strength) and fatigue strength, the range of depth D is preferably as small as possible within the range of the total thickness of the aluminum plating layer 14 and the intermetallic compound layer 16. .. The depth D may be equal to the total thickness of the aluminum plating layer 14 and the intermetallic compound layer 16. In this case, the shape of the end portion of the plated portion 26 on the edge side of the steel plate 100 and the inner side of the base steel plate 12 may be a concave curve represented by the radius of curvature R2.
[0066]
 Further, in the exposed portions 22 provided on both sides of the end portion of the steel plate 100, as shown in FIG. 9, the relationship between the depth D and the above-mentioned radii of curvature R1 and R2 has the relationship of the following equation (3). It is good to meet. By satisfying this relationship, the fatigue strength of the joint becomes more excellent. Also, the static strength will be better. The relationship D ≦ (R1 + R2) between the depth D (μm) and the radius of curvature R1 (μm) and the radius of curvature R2 (μm) represents the relationship per one side of the exposed portion, and both sides have this relationship. You should be satisfied.
 Equation (3) D ≦ (R1 + R2)
[0067]
 Specifically, the depth D is often set to (thickness of base steel plate 12 × 0.15) / 2 or less in consideration of the static strength and fatigue strength of the joint, and (thickness of base steel plate 12). It is preferably x0.1) / 2 or less.
[0068]
 Here, as a method of measuring the depth D and the width (removal width W) of the exposed portion 22 from the tailored blank and the hot stamped product, the following method can be mentioned.
[0069]
 The depth D is determined by, for example, cutting a steel plate 100 having an exposed portion 22 adjacent to a weld metal portion in the plate thickness direction in a tailored blank and a hot stamped product, and observing the cut cross section with an optical microscope. Can be done. In the cut cross section, the thickness of the base steel plate 12 at the exposed portion 22 adjacent to the weld metal portion, and the total thickness of the aluminum plating layer 14, the intermetallic compound layer 16, and the region other than the end portion of the base steel plate 12. Should be measured.
[0070]
 Specifically, first, in the region other than the end portion, the thickness of the base steel plate 12 and the total thickness (thickness A) of the aluminum plating layer 14 and the intermetallic compound layer 16 formed on the base steel plate 12 Ask for. The thickness A is an average value of values ​​obtained at five positions obtained by dividing the plate width into five equal parts in a region other than the end portion.
 Next, the thickness (thickness B) of the base steel sheet 12 in the portion excluding the exposed portion 22 located at the boundary between the exposed portion 22 and the plating portion 26 is determined. The thickness B is a range from the end point on the base steel plate 12 side at the boundary between the exposed portion 22 and the plated portion 26 (the end on the plated portion 26 side of the exposed portion 22) to the end point of the exposed portion 22 on the edge side of the steel plate 100. Is the measured average value. However, with respect to the total width of this range, the range of 10% from the end point of the exposed portion 22 on the edge side of the steel plate 100 toward the central portion, and the base steel plate 12 side at the boundary between the exposed portion 22 and the plated portion 26. The range of 10% from the end point toward the edge side of the steel sheet 100 is excluded from the measurement. In this excluded range, measurements are taken at five positions divided into five equal parts, and the average value is defined as the thickness B.
 Then, the depth D is obtained by subtracting the thickness B from the thickness A obtained above (that is, the depth D is obtained by the following formula: depth D = thickness A-thickness B).
 The depths D1 and D2 described later may be measured in the same manner.
[0071]
 Further, the width of the exposed portion 22 may be measured by observing the exposed portion 22 with an optical microscope. The specific method for measuring the width of the exposed portion 22 is as follows.
 First, five measurement samples including a cross section in which the entire width of the exposed portion 22 at the end of the steel plate 100 can be observed are collected. Next, the steel sheet 100 is cut so that the cross section is exposed, embedded in resin, polished, and the cross section is enlarged with an optical microscope. The distance (width of the exposed portion 22) from the edge of the steel plate 100 to the plated portion 26 is measured with reference to the edge of the steel plate 100. The average value measured at five points is defined as the width of the exposed portion 22.
[0072]
(Boundary between exposed portion and plated portion)
 The cross-sectional shape of the boundary between the exposed portion 22 and the plated portion 26 is such that the outer surface side of the steel plate 100 at the boundary is curved when the boundary between the exposed portion 22 and the plated portion 26 is viewed from the cross section. It has a plated portion 26 formed by a convex curve represented by a radius R1. That is, the shape of the end portion of the plated portion 26 on the end face 100A side of the steel plate 100 and on the outer side from the inside of the base steel plate 12 toward the surface of the base steel plate 12 is represented by the radius of curvature R1 in the first direction F1. It is a curved curve that is convex to the side. Further, an exposed portion formed by a concave curve represented by a radius of curvature R2 may be provided on the other end side of the boundary. That is, the shape of the end portion of the exposed portion 22 on the plating portion 26 side may be a concave curve represented by the radius of curvature R2. The plating portion 26 formed by the convex curve is an aluminum plating layer 14. The radius of curvature R1 satisfies the relationship of 5 μm ≦ R1. Further, the radius of curvature R2 satisfies the relationship of 260 ≦ R2.
[0073]
 In terms of corrosion resistance after coating, the larger R1 is, the better the adhesion of the coating film is. Therefore, R1 may satisfy 10 μm ≦ R1, may satisfy 15 μm ≦ R1, or may satisfy 20 μm ≦ R1. The upper limit of R1 is not particularly limited. From the viewpoint of coating corrosion resistance, the removal width (exposed width) of the aluminum plating layer 14 and the intermetallic compound layer 16 is preferably small, and therefore R1 is preferably 500 μm or less (R1 ≦ 500 μm).
 Further, in terms of the fatigue strength of the joint, the larger R2 is, the more the stress concentration when a stress load is applied is relaxed. Therefore, R2 may satisfy 260 μm ≦ R2, 400 μm ≦ R2, or 1000 μm ≦ R2. The upper limit of R2 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include R2 ≦ 100,000 μm.
[0074]
 Here, the method of measuring R1 and R2 at the boundary between the exposed portion 22 and the plated portion 26 from a steel plate, a tailored blank, a hot stamped product, or the like is the same as the method for measuring the width of the exposed portion 22 described above. Depending on the method, it may be measured with an optical microscope. R1 measured from the cross-sectional photograph is set to the smallest value (excluding 0) in the radius of curvature measured in the swell curve at the end of the plated portion 26. R2 measured from the cross-sectional photograph is set to the smallest value (excluding 0) in the radius of curvature measured in the swell curve at the end of the exposed portion 22. R1 and R2 are the average values ​​of the values ​​of R1 and the values ​​of R2 obtained from the five cross sections obtained by dividing the total length of the exposed portion 22 in the longitudinal direction into five equal parts.
[0075]
 At the boundary between the exposed portion 22 and the plated portion 26, the central portion of the boundary and the end portion on the base steel plate 12 side may extend in the direction along the plate thickness direction (FIGS. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 5). , See FIG. 6). Further, the central portion of the boundary and the end portion on the base steel plate 12 side are inclined with respect to the plate thickness direction if R1 satisfies the above conditions (for example, the base steel plate 12 side of the boundary is more than the outer surface side of the steel plate 100). It may be inclined toward the edge side of the steel plate 100 (see FIGS. 3 and 7). When it is inclined, R2 may satisfy the condition of the equation (2).
[0076]
 The width W of the exposed portion 22 when the central portion of the boundary is inclined will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 7. 3 and 7 are enlarged cross-sectional views showing another example of the end portion of the steel plate 100 of the present disclosure. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, the boundary 100B between the exposed portion 22 and the plated portion 26 is inclined toward the edge side of the steel plate 100. Then, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, the width W of the exposed portion 22 is from the edge of the end surface 100A of the steel sheet 100 to the intermetallic compound layer 16 side at the boundary 100B between the exposed portion 22 and the plating portion 26. It is represented by the distance to the base steel plate 12.
[0077]
 Here, in the steel plate 100 of the present disclosure, an exposed portion 22 of the base steel plate 12 is formed at an end portion of a planned welding portion. An unexposed portion in which at least the intermetallic compound layer 16 remains is formed in the region including the edge of the steel sheet 100 as long as the weld metal portion does not break when made into a tailored blank or a hot stamped product. It may have been done.
[0078]
 For example, when the steel plate 100 is punched to obtain a punched member, sagging may occur in a region including the edge of the steel plate 100 in the end portion of the steel plate 100 by a cutting means such as a shear. When the intermetallic compound layer 16 and the aluminum plating layer 14 are removed from the steel sheet 100 in which the sagging has occurred, for example, by cutting or the like at the end of the steel sheet 100, at least the intermetallic compound layer 16 is formed in the portion where the sagging occurs. May remain. The portion where at least the intermetallic compound layer 16 remains is the unexposed portion. The presence of this unexposed portion is permissible as long as the weld metal portion does not break when it is made into a tailored blank or a hot stamped product.
[0079]
 The concentration (Al concentration) of aluminum contained in the weld metal portion of the tailored blank and the hot stamped molded product is 0.065% by mass to 1% by mass or less (preferably 0.8% by mass or less). That is good. Within this range, breakage of the weld metal portion in the tailored blank and the hot stamped product is likely to be suppressed.
[0080]
 The aluminum concentration in the weld metal part is the average concentration. The aluminum concentration in the weld metal part is measured as follows.
 It is cut in a direction orthogonal to the laser welding line, embedded in a resin, polished, and mapped and analyzed from the surface of the steel sheet 100 to the base steel sheet 12 by an electron probe microanalyzer (FE-EPMA) to measure the aluminum concentration. The measurement conditions are an acceleration voltage of 15 kV, a beam diameter of about 100 nm, an irradiation time of 1000 ms, and a measurement pitch of 5 μm in a grid pattern. The measured value of the aluminum concentration of the weld metal part is averaged to obtain the average concentration.
[0081]
 Next, an example of a preferable manufacturing method of the steel sheet 100 of the present disclosure will be described. The formation of the exposed portion 22 is not particularly limited, and either laser processing or machining may be used. An example of a preferred manufacturing method for the steel sheet 100 of the present disclosure includes a step of forming the exposed portion 22 by cutting. As an example of a more preferable manufacturing method, there is a step of forming the exposed portion 22 by cutting by machining. As an example of a more preferable manufacturing method, there is a step of forming the exposed portion 22 by cutting with an end mill. The end mill facilitates the manufacture of the shape of the steel plate 100 of the present disclosure by making the R shape of the end portion of the tool appropriate.
 Hereinafter, an example of a preferable method for forming the exposed portion 22 will be specifically described.
[0082]
 As an example of a preferable method for forming the exposed portion 22 on both sides of at least a part of the end portion of the steel sheet 100, for example, the following method can be mentioned.
 At least a part of the end portion of the steel plate 100, the intermetallic compound layer 16 and the aluminum plating layer 14 formed on both surfaces of the base steel plate 12 are removed by cutting on both sides to expose the base steel plate 12 in the exposed portion 22. May have a step of forming (formation method A).
[0083]
 The forming method A is a method of forming the exposed portion 22 at the end portion of the steel plate 100, for example, as follows. First, as a steel plate before forming a tailored blank, a steel plate cut to a desired size is prepared. Next, the aluminum plating layer 14 and the intermetallic compound layer 16 formed on both surfaces of the base steel sheet 12 are removed by cutting at least a part of the end portion of the steel sheet after cutting. Then, an exposed portion 22 on which the base steel plate 12 is exposed is formed at the end portion of the steel plate 100.
[0084]
 The method of removing by cutting to form the exposed portion 22 is not particularly limited. For example, a method of cutting by polishing, cutting, cutting machine, slicing machine, end mill, metal saw or the like can be mentioned. Further, these methods may be combined to form the exposed portion 22 by removing the intermetallic compound layer 16 and the aluminum plating layer 14.
[0085]
 As another method other than machining, removal by laser machining such as laser gouging can be mentioned. However, when the exposed portion 22 is formed by laser processing such as laser gouging, hydrogen is generated on the base steel plate 12 of the portion where the exposed portion 22 is formed due to water vapor in the atmosphere due to heat being applied. May be mixed. Further, since the base steel plate 12 in the portion where the exposed portion 22 is formed is rapidly cooled after the laser processing, martensite is generated in the metal structure of the base steel plate 12 in this portion. This may cause delayed fracture at the end face of the steel sheet before welding.
 On the other hand, when the exposed portion 22 is formed by machining, the temperature rise of the base steel plate 12 of the portion where the exposed portion 22 is formed is suppressed and martensite is not generated. In addition, since hydrogen does not enter, the occurrence of delayed fracture is suppressed. In this respect, it is preferable to employ machining by machining as a method for forming the exposed portion 22.
 Further, when the exposed portion 22 is formed by machining, it is not necessary to take measures against light shielding against the laser beam when performing laser machining such as laser gouging, which is advantageous in terms of cost and the like.
[0086]
 Further, as a method of forming R1 and R2 at the boundary between the exposed portion 22 and the plating portion 26, it is preferable to form them by the above machining. When it is formed by machining, it may be formed by using, for example, an end mill (the tip blade of the end mill, the side blade of the end mill), a metal saw, or the like.
 Among the machining, the exposed portion 22 is preferably formed by cutting with an end mill. Cutting by an end mill is cutting by rotary motion. Therefore, the exposed portion 22 formed by the end mill has a fine uneven shape on the cutting surface (exposed surface of the base steel plate 12 in the exposed portion 22 and the cross section of the plated portion 26 at the boundary between the exposed portion 22 and the plated portion 26). There are cutting marks.
[0087]
 As long as the exposed portions 22 are formed on both sides of at least a part of the end portions of the steel sheet 100, the order of forming the exposed portions 22 at the end portions is not limited to the above-mentioned forming method A. The exposed portion 22 may be provided at the end portion where welding is planned.
 As an example of another preferable method of forming the exposed portion 22 on both sides of at least a part of the end portion of the steel sheet 100, for example, the following method can be mentioned.
[0088]
 In at least a part of the region other than the end of the steel plate 100, the aluminum plating layer 14 and the intermetallic compound layer 16 formed on both sides of the base steel plate 12 are removed on both sides by cutting to expose the base steel plate 12. The step of forming the exposed exposed portion 22 and the cutting of the steel plate 100 so that the exposed portion of the base steel plate 12 is held at the end of the steel plate 100, and the base steel plate 12 at least a part of the end of the steel plate 100. It may have a step of forming the exposed portion 22 exposed on both sides of the steel sheet 100 (referred to as the forming method B).
[0089]
 Specifically, the forming method B is, for example, the following method. First, a steel plate 100 that has been punched and cut to a desired size is prepared. Next, with respect to the cut steel plate 100, the aluminum plating layer 14 and the intermetallic compound layer 16 formed on the base steel plate 12 are removed by cutting, and the exposed portion 22 in which the base steel plate 12 is exposed is provided. Form. The exposed portion 22 is formed in a region other than the end portion of the steel plate 100 so as to extend in one direction, for example. Then, in the cut steel plate 100, the exposed portion of the base steel plate 12 is cut so that the exposed portion 22 follows the edge of the steel plate 100. The steel sheet 100 obtained by cutting is the steel sheet 100 before forming the tailored blank.
[0090]
 In the case of the forming method B, the width of the exposed portion 22 formed by removing the aluminum plating layer 14 and the intermetallic compound layer 16 is preferably 0.4 mm to 30 mm, preferably 0.4 mm to 10 mm. .. The position where the exposed portion 22 is cut may be a position near the center line of the exposed portion 22 so as to have a desired width.
[0091]
 The width of the exposed portion 22 of the base steel plate 12 formed by the above forming method A may be 10% to 50% larger than half the width of the molten region (welded metal portion) after the steel plates 100 are butt-welded. Good.
 The width of the exposed portion 22 of the base steel plate 12 before cutting the steel plate 100 formed as in the above forming method B is 10 from half the width of the molten region (welded metal portion) after the steel plates 100 are butt-welded. It should be% to 50% larger.
 Within these ranges, aluminum is suppressed from being mixed into the weld metal portion after the steel sheet 100 is butt-welded, so that the welded portion has excellent corrosion resistance after painting and a decrease in tensile strength is also suppressed. .. Further, since the hard and brittle intermetallic compound layer 16 is not provided between the weld metal portion and the plating portion 26, a decrease in fatigue strength of the steel sheet 100 after hot stamping is suppressed.
[0092]

 Next, a butt welding member (tailored blank) will be described.
 The butt-welded member (tailored blank) is a tailored blank in which at least two steel plates 100 are butt-welded through an end having at least one steel plate 100 of the present disclosure and having an exposed portion 22 of the steel plate 100 of the present disclosure. is there. If at least one steel plate 100 of the present disclosure is provided, the end faces of the two steel plates may be welded in a butt state, or the end faces of the three steel plates may be welded in a butt state. .. For example, the tailored blank may be a welded member welded in a state where the end face of the end portion of the steel plate 100 of the present disclosure having the exposed portion 22 and the end face of the end portion of the planned welding portion of another steel plate are butted against each other. The other steel sheet to be butt-welded may be a zinc-based plated steel sheet (zinc, zinc-iron, zinc-nickel, zinc-magnesium) having a tensile strength of 400 to 2700 MPa after hot pressing. It is desirable that the galvanized steel sheet is welded without forming the exposed portion 22.
 Further, the tailored blank may be welded, for example, in a state where the end faces of the ends having the exposed portions 22 of the two steel plates 100 of the present disclosure are butted against each other, and the exposed portions 22 of the three steel plates 100 of the present disclosure. Welding may be performed in a state where the end faces of the ends having the Further, the end faces of the exposed portions 22 of the three or more steel plates 100 of the present disclosure may be welded in a state of being butted against each other.
[0093]
 That is, the tailored blank is a weld metal portion that includes at least one steel plate 100 of the present disclosure and joins the ends of at least two steel plates to a steel plate in which the ends of at least two steel plates are arranged so as to face each other. It has a weld metal portion provided adjacent to the exposed portion 22 where the base steel plate 12 of the steel plate 100 of the present disclosure is exposed. For example, specifically, the exposed portion 22 is provided on both sides of the two steel plates joined by the weld metal portion, which are located around the weld metal portion.
[0094]
 Two or more steel plates for obtaining a tailored blank may be used in combination according to the purpose. As the two or more steel plates for obtaining the tailored blank, for example, steel plates of the same strength class may be used, or steel plates of different strength classes may be used. Further, as the two or more steel plates, steel plates having the same thickness may be used, or steel plates having different thicknesses may be used.
 Further, the two or more steel plates for obtaining the tailored blank may be steel plates having the same width of the exposed portion 22 at the end of the steel plate or different steel plates. Further, the steel plate may have the same boundary mode between the exposed portion 22 and the plated portion 26 of the steel plate, or may be different.
 For example, as a combination in which the boundary between the exposed portion 22 and the plated portion 26 of the steel sheet is different, a combination in which R1 on the outer surface side of the steel plate at the boundary between the exposed portion 22 and the plated portion 26 is different can be mentioned. Further, the combination of the steel plate 100 having R1 and R2 is, for example, 1) a combination in which R1 is different and R2 is the same, 2) a combination in which R1 is the same and R2 is different, and 3) R1 is different. R2 also includes a combination of different aspects.
[0095]
 Further, the tailored blank is a welded member in which at least two steel plates 100 of the present disclosure are butt-welded through an end having an exposed portion 22 in terms of fatigue strength of the joint and corrosion resistance of the welded portion after painting. Is good. In this case, it is preferable to satisfy the following conditions.
 Of the at least two steel sheets 100 of the present disclosure, the steel sheet 100 having the smaller product between the thickness of the steel sheet 100 and the tensile strength of the steel sheet 100 after hot press forming (hereinafter, may be referred to as steel sheet A). Let the plate thickness be t (μm). Further, when the steel plate A is viewed from the second direction F2 from the plating portion 26 toward the weld metal portion and the cross section parallel to the thickness direction of the steel plate, the surface of the aluminum plating layer 14 in the plating portion 26 is in the second direction F2. The length of the steel plate 100 from the extended virtual line to the surface of the base steel plate 12 in the thickness direction is defined as the depth of the exposed portion. Of the exposed portions 22 formed on both sides of the end portion of the steel plate A, the depth of the exposed portion 22 formed on one surface (first surface) in the vertical direction is defined as D1 (hereinafter, "" The depth of the vertically exposed portion in the exposed portion 22 formed on the other surface (second surface) is D2 (hereinafter, “removal depth D2”). It may be referred to as). At this time, the relationship of t (μm), D1 (μm), and D2 (μm) may satisfy the relationship of the following formula (4). When the following formula (4) is satisfied, the fatigue strength is improved. Normally, the unit of plate thickness is mm, but the numerical value to be substituted for t is substituted as a value converted to μm.
 Equation (4) ((D1 + D2) / t) × 100 ≦ 20
[0096]
 Note that D1 and D2 are of the above-mentioned depth D (that is, the depth in the vertical direction from the virtual line in which the surface of the aluminum plating layer 14 is extended in the direction of the exposed portion 22 to the surface of the base steel plate 12). It is obtained by the same measurement method as the depth to the portion excluding the exposed portion 22 at the boundary between the exposed portion 22 and the plated portion 26).
 Further, in "the product of the plate thickness of the steel plate and the tensile strength of the steel plate after hot press forming", the plate thickness is the plate thickness of the steel plate after hot press forming, and the tensile strength is the tensile strength after hot press forming. Tensile strength is used respectively.
[0097]
 Here, the plate thickness t, the depth D1, and the depth D2 in the tailored blank will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 8. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the tailored blank of the present disclosure. The tailored blank 200 shown in FIG. 4 is formed by butt-welding the ends of the steel plate 110 and the planned welding portion of the steel plate 120. In the tailored blank 200, the steel plate 110 and the steel plate 120 are joined by the weld metal portion 30, the exposed portion 22 is adjacent to the weld metal portion 30, and the exposed portion 22 is separated from the weld metal portion 30. It has a plating portion 26 adjacent to the.
[0098]
 As shown in FIGS. 4 and 8, the thickness of the steel plate 120 is smaller than that of the steel plate 110. The steel plate 110 and the steel plate 120 have the same tensile strength of the steel plate after hot press forming. Therefore, in the tailored blank 200 shown in FIGS. 4 and 8, the product of the tensile strength and the thickness of the steel sheet after hot press forming is smaller in the steel plate 120 than in the steel plate 110. Therefore, in FIGS. 4 and 8, the plate thickness t, the depth D1, and the depth D2 are the values ​​of the steel plate 120. The plate thickness t is the plate thickness of the steel plate 120. The depth D1 is the distance between the surface of the base steel plate 12 and the virtual line in which the surface of the aluminum-plated layer 14 on one surface is extended in the direction of the exposed portion 22 (second direction F2). The depth D2 is the distance between the surface of the base steel plate 12 and the virtual line in which the surface of the aluminum-plated layer 14 on the other surface is extended in the direction of the exposed portion 22 (second direction F2).
[0099]
 If the depth D is too large, the durable load of the joint tends to decrease. The durable load is represented by the product of the thickness and strength of the base steel sheet 12 before the aluminum plating treatment. Therefore, the durable load of the joint depends on the steel plate having the smaller durable load among the two steel plates when forming the tailored blank 200. Therefore, it is preferable that the relationship of t, D1, and D2 satisfies the above relationship. The relationship between t, D1 and D2 may be ((D1 + D2) / t) × 100 ≦ 10 or ((D1 + D2) / t) × 100 ≦ 7.
[0100]
 The welding method for performing butt welding is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include welding methods such as laser welding (laser beam welding), arc welding, and electron beam welding. Further, examples of arc welding include plasma welding, TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, MAG (Metal Active Gas) welding, and the like, and examples of suitable arc welding include plasma welding. .. Welding conditions may be selected according to the desired conditions such as the thickness of the steel sheet to be used.
 Further, welding may be performed while supplying a filler wire, if necessary.
[0101]
 As described above, the tailored blank 200 is butt-welded in a state where the end faces of the ends having the exposed portions 22 are abutted. Therefore, the weld metal portion 30 has a small amount of aluminum mixed due to the intermetallic compound layer 16 and the aluminum plating layer 14. Further, since the exposed portion 22 in which the intermetallic compound layer 16 does not exist is adjacent to the weld metal portion 30, the decrease in fatigue strength of the tailored blank 200 and the joint after hot stamping is suppressed. In addition, a decrease in the tensile strength of the joint is suppressed.
[0102]

 Next, the hot press molded product will be described.
 The hot press molded product (hot stamp molded product) is a molded product obtained by hot press molding a tailored blank 200 having at least one steel plate 100 of the present disclosure. That is, the hot press-formed product obtained by hot press molding contains at least one steel plate 100 of the present disclosure, and at least two steel plates are arranged so that the ends of the two steel plates face each other. It is a weld metal portion 30 for joining the end portions of the steel plates of the above, and has a weld metal portion 30 provided adjacent to the exposed portion 22 where the base steel plate 12 of the steel plate 100 of the present disclosure is exposed. For example, specifically, the exposed portion 22 is provided on both sides of the two steel plates joined by the weld metal portion 30 and which are located around the weld metal portion 30.
 The hot stamped product is a welded member in which at least two steel plates of the present disclosure are butt-welded through an end having an exposed portion 22 in terms of fatigue strength of the joint and corrosion resistance after painting of the welded portion. It is preferably a molded product obtained by molding.
[0103]
 The hot stamped product can be manufactured as follows.
 First, the tailored blank 200 is heated to a high temperature to soften the tailored blank 200. Then, using a mold, the softened tailored blank 200 is molded and cooled by hot stamping and then quenched to obtain a hot stamped product having a desired shape. The hot stamped molded product is hardened by heating and cooling to obtain, for example, a molded product having a high tensile strength of about 1500 MPa or more.
[0104]
 As a heating method for hot stamping, in addition to a normal electric furnace and a radiant tube furnace, a heating method by infrared heating, energization heating, induction heating or the like can be adopted.
[0105]
 In the hot stamped article, the aluminum-plated layer 14 of the steel sheet 100 is transformed into an intermetallic compound that imparts protection against oxidation of the steel sheet 100 when heated. For example, when the aluminum plating layer 14 contains silicon (Si), when the aluminum plating layer 14 is heated, the Al phase becomes an intermetallic compound, that is, Al—Fe due to mutual diffusion with Fe. It changes to an alloy phase and an Al—Fe—Si alloy phase. The melting points of the Al—Fe alloy phase and the Al—Fe—Si alloy phase are high, 1000 ° C. or higher. There are a plurality of types of Al—Fe phase and Al—Fe—Si phase, and when heated at a high temperature or for a long time, the phase changes to an alloy phase having a higher Fe concentration. These intermetallic compounds prevent oxidation of the steel sheet 100.
[0106]
 The maximum temperature reached during hot stamping is not particularly limited, but is preferably 850 ° C to 1000 ° C, for example. In hot stamping, the maximum temperature reached is usually about 900 ° C. to 950 ° C. because it is heated in the austenite region.
[0107]
 In hot stamping, a tailored blank 200 heated to a high temperature is press-molded with a die cooled by water cooling or the like, and at the same time, quenched by cooling with the die. Further, if necessary, water may be sprayed directly onto the blank material through the gap of the mold to cool the blank material. Then, a hot stamped product having a desired shape can be obtained. The hot stamped product may be used as it is as a part, or may be used after descaling the welded portion by shot blasting, brushing, laser cleaning or the like, if necessary.
[0108]
 When the tailored blank 200 is heated to a high temperature, the metal structure of the base steel sheet 12 becomes at least a part, preferably the whole, austenite single-phase structure. Then, when press-molded in a die, austenite is transformed into at least one of martensite and bainite by cooling under the desired cooling conditions. Then, in the obtained hot stamped product, the metal structure of the base steel sheet 12 becomes any one of martensite, bainite, or martensite-bainite.
[0109]
 Here, an example of the process from the production of the steel sheet 100 to the production of the hot stamped molded product is as follows.
 First, an aluminum plating layer 14 is formed on both sides of the base steel sheet 12 to obtain a steel sheet. At this time, the intermetallic compound layer 16 is formed between the base steel plate 12 and the aluminum plating layer 14.
[0110]
 Next, the steel plate having aluminum plating on both sides of the base steel plate 12 is wound into a coil. Next, the steel plate wound in a coil shape is pulled out and punched to obtain a punched member.
[0111]
 Next, at least a part of the end portion of the steel plate, the aluminum plating layer 14 and the intermetallic compound layer 16 on both sides of the steel plate 100 are removed to form the exposed portion 22 of the base steel plate 12, and the steel plate of the present disclosure Get 100.
 Here, the exposed portion 22 formed at the end of the steel plate 100 may be formed in a state where the steel plate is wound into a coil and then the steel plate wound into the coil is pulled out. In this case, after forming the exposed portion 22, punching is performed so that the exposed portion 22 is held at the end of the steel sheet 100 to obtain a punched member.
 Further, the exposed portion 22 formed at the end of the steel plate 100 may be formed after the steel plate wound in a coil shape is pulled out and the pulled out steel plate is punched to form a punched member. In this case, the exposed portion 22 may be formed at the end of the punching member. Further, after forming an exposed region in a portion other than the end portion of the punching member so as to extend in one direction, for example, the exposed region of the punching member is cut so that the exposed portion 22 is formed at the end portion of the steel plate 100. You may.
[0112]
 Next, at least one punched member having an exposed portion 22 formed on the end portion of the steel plate 100 is prepared. For example, one punched member or two punched members on which the exposed portion 22 is formed may be prepared.
 Next, butt welding is performed with the ends of the punched members abutted to obtain a tailored blank. Specifically, when two punching members on which the exposed portion 22 is formed are prepared, butt welding is performed with the ends having the exposed portions 22 abutted to obtain a tailored blank 200.
[0113]
 Next, the tailored blank 200 is heated in a heating furnace.
 Next, the heated tailored blank 200 is pressed, molded and hardened by a pair of upper and lower dies.
 Then, by removing it from the mold, the desired hot stamped product can be obtained.

[0138]
 As shown in Tables 3 to 6, No. 1 using a steel plate in which neither the aluminum plating layer nor the intermetallic compound layer is removed has inferior fatigue strength.
 No. 2, which uses a steel plate in which the aluminum plating layer is removed, the intermetallic compound layer remains, and the base steel plate does not have an exposed portion, has an R1 of 5 μm or more, and therefore has excellent corrosion resistance after painting. However, since the intermetallic compound layer remains, the fatigue strength is inferior.
 No. 3 using a steel plate from which both the aluminum plating layer and the intermetallic compound layer have been removed has excellent fatigue strength. However, since R1 is less than 5 μm, the corrosion resistance after painting is inferior.
 In No. 18, which uses a steel plate having the shape shown in FIG. 10, the end portion on the plated portion side is not a curved line but a straight line, and R2 on the exposed portion side is more than 100,000. Therefore, the base steel plate and the intermetallic compound layer Stress concentration occurs due to the difference in hardness, and the fatigue strength is inferior. Moreover, since R1 is less than 5 μm, the corrosion resistance after painting is also inferior.
 On the other hand, as shown in Tables 3 to 6, Nos. 4 to 17 and Nos. 19 to 23 using steel plates in which both the aluminum plating layer and the intermetallic compound layer are removed and the R1 satisfies 5 μm or more are used.
