The present invention provides a flux-cored welding wire comprising a shell having a tubular cavity, which accommodates flux. The shell is made of 400 series stainless steels. The deposited metal formed after the welding using the flux-cored welding wire of the present invention has more uniform chemical compositions. Because the loss of chromium during the transition to the deposited metal is less than 0.1%, recourses is saved and welding cost is reduced. The filling ratio of the flux-cored welding wire of the present invention is 5%-25% (preferably 10%-20%). As a result, not only the stability of the compositions in the flux is increased, but also the disadvantages to the manufacture process caused by high filling ratio are avoided. The flux-cored welding wire of the present invention will not be rusty even after it is exposed to the air for a long time.

A method for manufacturing a friction plate provided with a core plate includes subjecting a spline portion formed at an outer periphery or an inner periphery of the core plate to a hardening process by laser.

A flat steel product for hot forming may be produced from a steel substrate that includes a steel comprising 0.1-3% by weight Mn and up to 0.01% by weight B, along with a protective coating that is applied to the steel substrate. The protective coating may be based on Al and may contain up to 20% by weight of other alloy elements. Also disclosed are methods for producing such flat steel products, steel components, and methods for producing steel components. Absorption of hydrogen is minimized during heating necessary for hot forming. This is achieved at least in part through an alloy constituent of 0.1-0.5% by weight of at least one alkaline earth or transition metal in the protective coating, wherein an oxide of the alkaline earth or transition metal is formed on an outer surface of the protective coating during hot forming of the flat steel product.
