Abstract
A coated steel sheet and press hardened steel part having a composition including, by weight percent: C 0.15-0.25%, Mn 0.5-1.8%, Si 0.1-1.25%, Al 0.01-0.1%, Cr 0.1-1.0%, Ti 0.01-0.1%, B 0.001-0.004%, P≤0.020%, S≤0.010%, N≤0.010% the remainder of the composition being iron and unavoidable impurities resulting from the smelting. The press hardened steel part includes a bulk having a microstructure including, in surface fraction, more than 95% of martensite and less than 5% of bainite, a coating layer at the surface of the steel part, a ferritic interdiffusion layer between the coating layer and the bulk, and a ratio between the ferritic grain width in the interdiffusion layer GWint over prior austenite grain size in the bulk PAGSbulk, satisfying following equation (GWint/PAGSbulk)−1≥30%.
