    Abstract: A press-hardened steel is provided. The press-hardened steel has an alloy matrix including from about 0.01 wt. % to about 0.35 wt. % carbon, from about 1 wt. % to about 9 wt. % chromium, from about 0.5 wt. % to about 2 wt. % silicon, and a balance of iron. The alloy matrix is greater than or equal to about 95 vol. % martensite. A first layer is disposed directly on the alloy matrix. The first layer is continuous, has a thickness of greater than or equal to about 0.01 μm to less than or equal to about 10 μm, and includes an oxide enriched with chromium and silicon. A second layer is disposed directly on the first layer, and includes an oxide enriched with Fe. Methods of preparing the press-hardened steel are also provided.
