AI Technical Summary
Hot-formed steel components are prone to hydrogen embrittlement due to residual stress and increased diffusible hydrogen, limiting their application, and existing solutions like controlling alloy composition and using Ni pre-plating are costly and have limitations.
A steel sheet for hot forming with an alloy plating layer comprising silicon, zinc, and iron, forming intermetallic compounds like Fe2Al5(Zn,Si) and FeAl3(Zn,Si), which suppresses hydrogen penetration and improves corrosion resistance.
The steel sheet provides enhanced resistance to hydrogen embrittlement and corrosion, ensuring ultra-high strength and lightweight properties in hot-formed members.
