METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PRESS-HARDENED, COATED STEEL PARTS AND PRE-COATED STEEL SHEETS THAT CAN BE USED FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SAID PARTS

摘要

The invention relates to a cold-rolled, annealed and pre-coated steel sheet for the production of press-hardened parts, formed by a steel substrate for thermal treatment, having a carbon content C0 of between 0.07% and 0.5%, said content being expressed by weight, and a metal pre-coating on at least the two main faces of the steel substrate, characterised in that the substrate comprises a decarburised zone on the surface of each of the two main faces, the depth p50% of the decarburised zone being between 6 and 30 micrometres, p50% being the depth at which the carbon content is equal to 50% of the above-mentioned C0 content, as well as being characterised in that the steel sheet does not contain an iron oxide layer between the substrate and the metal pre-coating.
