  • Patent number: 11952652
    Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing a zinc-plated steel sheet. The method includes: coating a metal on the steel sheet on a steel sheet; annealing the metal coated steel sheet; and zinc plating the annealed steel sheet by dipping in a molten zinc plating bath. Further provided is a method of manufacturing a hot-press part including: coating a metal on the steel sheet on a steel sheet; annealing the metal coated steel sheet; zinc plating the annealed steel sheet by dipping in a molten zinc plating bath; heating the zinc-plated steel sheet; and press forming the heated steel sheet.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 7, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 9, 2024
    Assignee: POSCO CO., LTD

  • Patent number: 9945020
    Abstract: Provided is a zinc-plated steel sheet for hot pressing having outstanding surface characteristics, comprising: a steel foundation plate comprising a metal surface diffusion layer of which the Gibbs free energy reduction per mole of oxygen during oxidation is less than that of Cr, an aluminum-rich layer containing at least 30 wt. % of aluminum formed on the surface diffusion layer, and a zinc plating layer formed on the aluminum-rich layer. In this way, a metal having a low affinity for oxygen is coated to an effective thickness prior to annealing and thus the creation of annealing oxides at the surface of the steel sheet is suppressed and a uniform zinc plating layer is formed, and alloying of the zinc plating layer is promoted during press-processing heat treatment. Cracking in the steel foundation plate during hot press molding is prevented.
