Background
Nowadays, the general trend of the development of automobile technology is safety, intelligence, energy conservation, environmental protection and the like, and especially the energy conservation and the environmental protection are more relevant to the sustainable development of human beings. With the increasing prominence of energy and environmental problems, the significance of automobile light weight becomes more important. The international aluminum association (IAI) indicates that fuel consumption can be reduced by 6% -8% for every 10% weight reduction of a car. Considering the huge automobile holding capacity in the world, reducing the mass of the automobile can effectively reduce the energy consumption and relieve the huge environmental pressure. According to statistics, the mass of the bodies of commercial vehicles such as dump trucks and freight trucks accounts for 16% -30% of the mass of the whole vehicle, and under the same condition, the smaller the mass of the whole vehicle is, the larger the load capacity is, and the higher the profit is. Under the current prerequisite that the commercial car strictly limits the overload, the lightweight of commercial car lifts the weight of foot, moreover under the situation of "carbon reaches the peak, carbon neutralizes" in the future, the lightweight of commercial car is inevitable.
Commercial vehicles started earlier in light weight abroad. The truck plan of 21 century was started in the United states in 2000, and the U.S. lightweight material technical special item of the United states truck was specially established. The project is set up to meet the requirements of 21 st century trucks on lightweight material technology, and aims to reduce the deadweight of trucks to reduce fuel consumption and maintain and enhance the functionality, durability, reliability, safety and purchaseability of crude oil of vehicles by adopting advanced design technology, material technology and manufacturing technology. The main application objects of the project are assembly parts such as a vehicle body, a chassis and a suspension. Compared with the similar type of vehicles abroad, the difference of the light weight level of commercial vehicles in China is obvious, for example, the preparation quality of a tractor VOLVO FE with the load of 40 tons is 7.69 tons, while the preparation quality of the similar type of vehicles in China is 9.95 tons, and the difference is over 20 percent.
In view of the current situation, the commercial vehicle is made of high-strength steel and aluminum alloy materials with the largest light-weight application potential, the high-strength steel can be used for a vehicle body, a vehicle frame, a carriage, a steel plate spring and the like, China successively experiences the application of steel types with different strength levels of 345MPa, 590MPa and 710MP, 700L steel is generally applied to the commercial vehicle frame due to the implementation of the overload regulations of the commercial vehicle in 2018, the obvious light-weight effect is achieved, but the carriage still takes Q345 as the main component, and the light-weight level still needs to be improved. The quenched hot formed steel 22MnB5 has tensile strength of more than 1500MPa, is widely applied to passenger vehicles, the amount of independent brands used by a single vehicle (white vehicle body) is nearly 10 percent, but the application of the quenched hot formed steel on commercial vehicles is less, if the hot formed steel is adopted to replace the existing commercial vehicle carriage steel plate, the weight of the single vehicle is reduced by more than 40 percent, the light weight effect is very obvious, and at present, the application of the hot rolled hot formed steel plate on commercial vehicles such as dump trucks and trucks has great market potential under the requirement of light weight rigidity.
However, at present, for example, large-size and thick hot-rolled hot-formed steel plates for dump truck carriages are not widely applied, and the reason is that a large problem needs to be solved in the stamping process: the conventional hot-rolled hot-formed steel sheet having a thickness of 3mm or more has insufficient hardenability, and it is difficult to obtain an ideal strength after hot forming.

The experimental method comprises the following steps: a30 mm multiplied by 10mm multiplied by 3mm sample of the steel of the invention and 22MnB5 are respectively taken, firstly polished by 180#, 400#, 800#, 1500# and 2000# sandpaper, cleaned by alcohol and dried. The dimensions of the sample were measured with a vernier caliper, and the weight before oxidation was weighed with an electronic balance with an accuracy of 0.0001 g. The oxidation experiment is carried out in an air medium resistance furnace, the experiment temperature is 930 ℃, and the heat preservation time is 5 min. The sample after oxidation was weighed again, and the oxidation weight gain per unit area of the sample was calculated in combination with the size of the sample before oxidation.
In one embodiment, the hot-rolled hot-formed high-strength steel of the present invention has the following specific conditions for high temperature oxidation resistance test:
the oxidation at 930 ℃ for 5min is shown in Table 4: it can be seen that the oxidation weight gain, the unit area weight gain and the average unit area weight gain of invention examples 12 and 13 are significantly lower than those of comparative example 9 at 5 minutes of oxidation, i.e. the oxidation weight gain of the high-strength steel of the present invention is significantly lower than that of the standard boron steel, and therefore, the high-temperature oxidation resistance of the high-strength steel of the present invention is significant.
