Direct hot press forming (DHPF) of Zn-coated steels presents significant challenges associated with avoiding liquid metal embrittlement (LME) while maintaining robust cathodic protection. As identified by previous studies, a minimum amount of the Γ-Fe3Zn10 phase (15 vol%) is necessary to provide robust cathodic protection for Zn-coated press hardening steels (PHS). The Γ-Fe3Zn10 phase is...

Grain boundary weakening caused by grain boundary wetting is a potential precursor for liquid metal embrittlement in a Zn coated press hardening 20MnB8 steel. Galvanized press hardened steel samples, deformed by bending, and not deformed (flat) steel samples were analyzed by means of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), energy dispersive X-ray analysis...

The hot-stamping (HS) process has been widely used to produce automobile components, because of the great demand for higher strength steel sheets. Moreover, coated steel sheets, including galvannealed steel sheets (GA), are being applied as HS material [1,2]. The structural change of GA coating during the HS heating process has been researched [2,3]. However, the mechanical properties of this...
