  • Publication number: 20190010570
    Abstract: The invention provides manufacturing a partially reinforced press formed product with high corrosion resistance and weldability. First and second steel plates having aluminum-based plating films are heated to an austenite range temperature by first and second furnaces, respectively, to transform the bodies of the first and second steel plates into austenite and form Fe—Al alloy layers on the surfaces of the first and second steel plates. Hot press forming is then performed to the first and second steel plates formed with the Fe—Al alloy layers, the first and second steel plates being superposed. The first and second steel plates, which are hot press formed, are then welded.

    Abstract: The invention provides manufacturing a press formed product with high corrosion resistance and different tensile strengths depending on regions by a small number of processes. The whole of a steel plate having an aluminum-based plating film is heated to an austenite range temperature by a furnace, so that the body of the steel plate is transformed into austenite and a Fe—Al alloy layer is formed on the surface of the steel plate. The steel plate formed with the Fe—Al alloy layer is taken out from the furnace, a first region of the steel plate is heat-retained by a heat resistant and retaining member, and a second region of the steel plate is cooled naturally. When the temperature of the second region becomes lower than a ferrite transformation start temperature, hot press forming is performed to the steel plate to form a press formed product.
