Patent attributes
A method for manufacturing a high strength press-formed member includes preparing a steel sheet having the composition including by mass %: C: 0.12% to 0.69%, Si: 3.0% or less, Mn: 0.5% to 3.0%, P: 0.1% or less, S: 0.07% or less, Al: 3.0% or less, N: 0.010% or less, Si+Al: at least 0.7%, and remainder as Fe and incidental impurities, heating the steel sheet to a temperature of 750° C. to 1000° C. and retaining the steel sheet in that state for 5 seconds to 1000 seconds; subjecting the steel sheet to hot press-forming at a temperature of 350° C. to 900° C.; cooling the steel sheet to a temperature of 50° C. to 350° C.; heating the steel sheet to a temperature in a temperature region of 350° C. to 490° C.; and retaining the steel sheet at temperature in the temperature region for 5 seconds to 1000 seconds.
