AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

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.

Method used

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.

🎯Benefits of technology

The steel sheet provides enhanced resistance to hydrogen embrittlement and corrosion, ensuring ultra-high strength and lightweight properties in hot-formed members.
