Before or after this descaling, the final trimming and the insertion of holes is carried out. If the final trimming and the insertion of the holes are carried out before sandblasting, it is disadvantageous that the cut edges and hole edges are affected. Irrespective of the sequence of the processing steps after curing, it is disadvantageous in descaling by sand blasting and comparable methods that the component is often warped in this way. After the mentioned processing steps takes place a so-called piece coating with a corrosion protection layer. For example, a cathodically effective corrosion protection layer is applied.
  • the post-processing of the cured component is extremely expensive and is subject to very high wear due to the hardening of the component. Furthermore, it is disadvantageous that the piece coating usually causes a corrosion protection, which is not particularly pronounced.

  • the hot forming and hardening in the pressing tool should generally have advantages due to the efficient by the combination of forming and tempering process in a tool operation. Due to the clamping of the sheet metal profile in the tool and due to thermal stresses, however, it should come to not exactly predeterminable delay on the component. This can adversely affect downstream manufacturing operations, which is why the reference points are created on the sheet metal profile.

  • deep-drawing processes of more complex shapes can not be realized with such sheets in the cold state.
  • the steel used should be an air-hardening steel, which may be heated under a protective gas atmosphere in order to avoid scaling during heating. Otherwise, a scale layer is descaled in front of the mold component after hot working of the mold component.
  • the component blank is shaped close to the final contour, "near net shape" being understood to mean that those parts of the geometry of the finished component which are associated with a macroscopic flow of material completely into the component blank after completion of the cold forming process are formed. After the completion of the cold forming process, only slight form adaptations are required to produce the three-dimensional shape of the component, which require a minimal local material flow.
  • Such a Touchier briefly requires a long, very labor intensive incorporation of the tool in which it is determined by means of applied paint, which areas of the component not yet fully rest against the tool. Accordingly, the surface must be constantly corrected. Nevertheless, all known press hardening methods have in common that it often and without it being predictable, despite the most careful incorporation to delay and cut edge offset, so that components are particularly twisted after molding and the cut edges are offset. Because of the great hardness such parts can not be reworked and, for example, be addressed. The post-processing in the known methods is limited to the final trimming by means of laser.

This can be reliably clamped and held in areas where is clamped with a very high pressure. This, however, preferably with a locally high pressure that possibly displaced material, bumps or local excesses and quasi forged.
  • the material works easily in the surface of the mold, so that the friction between the mold and the workpiece increases. The material is thus adjusted in the pressed area to a uniform maximum thickness.
  • the total required pressure of the press can be lower than in full-surface processes, so that significantly cheaper presses can be used.

Furthermore, twisting can be prevented by this pressing or clamping, in particular during the molding of the workpiece.
  • the non-pressed areas which have a lower strength due to a possibly lower cooling rate, can form a deformation reserve of the component, so that a loaded hardened component does not break as usual in the case of homogeneously hardened or press-hardened components - but only slightly deforms.

In the region of the notching tool 21, the tab breaks off due to the great hardness and brittleness.
  • the parts lifter 24 is arranged on the same side of the workpiece as the hold-down 22, wherein the parts lifter 24 is also resiliently mounted.
  • the part lifter 24 and the hold-down 22 opposite the notching tool 21 is arranged.
  • the part lifter 24 with respect to the workpiece is opposite to the opposite mold half 2 on the part lifter 24 wegbewegbares away and Abbruchwerkzeug 26 which is placed with a lateral projection 27 on the tab and the tab with respect to the notching tool 21 bends and breaks, said the tool 26 touches on the parts lifter 24 and the part lifter with its projection 25 and the tool with its projection 27 limit the tab 20 between them and 26 moves in a further movement of the tool lifter against the spring force of a spring 28 to the tab 20th breaks off in the region of the notching tool 21.
  • the process can be controlled so that the cancel takes place at the most favorable temperature for this purpose.
  • the mold halves have corresponding recesses in the clamping areas.
  • the hot cut is preferably carried out at component temperatures between 380 ° C and 800 ° C.
  • a flange 31 is formed.
  • the outer trimming is carried out in the region of the flange 31.
  • This has the advantage that is cut in this section parallel to the opening and closing direction of the mold. Even with components in which a flange is actually not desired, it may still be advantageous to produce this flange in the cold state for the purpose of the section just described.
  • the flange is then removed later in the course of the mold hardening process, as will be described below.
  • a hot forming in particular in the region of the cut edges 30 or the outer contour still take place a hot forming.
  • the trimming can be performed perpendicular to the opening and closing direction of the mold, which allows a particularly accurate, accurate and simple cut.
  • this formed flange in the hot component 29, which has been inserted into the mold 1 is correspondingly reformed again when the mold 1 is closed or applied to the mold 1 (arrows 32).
  • the mold 1 for the mold hardening process is initially closed so far that the component 29 is already held for example in a certain area 34 from the upper mold part 2 and then the slide 33 are retracted (arrows 35), the flange 31 with corresponding-projecting areas or dimensions 36 to the mold 1 and the mold base 3, on which the component 29 rests, press. Since the component 29 is clamped anyway in the area of the cut edges 30, the sliders 33 and the areas 36 take over this clamping in this area, whereby surprisingly this is so well achieved by the clamping and the subsequent forced shrinkage that the finished component is previously clamped existing bending edge of the flange 31 is hardly visible and detectable.
  • a flange or a bend can also be produced in the region of the cut edges or the outer contour in the warm state.
  • a slider acts accordingly on a projecting portion of the sheet, bends it to the desired extent and then clamps the flange, the cutting edge of the flange or the bent portion, while possibly the remaining area, the principle of forced shrinkage, not clamped becomes.
  • the whole procedure can proceed as follows 1. cutting boards, 2. the cold forming, for example, by deep drawing, then a mechanical cutting step, then heating, the form hardening, then optionally a cleaning such. B. an ultrasonic cleaning and then the camp. Since the form hardening dictates the cycle times and only one cutting step is present, the use of the existing often quite expensive presses and cutting lines with four to five large presses can be dispensed with and a slower press can be used which is set up, for example, to the level ground. Such presses do not have the high cycle rates or cycle times, such as large press lines, however, these are not required in the above method. The achievable pressing pressures are similar. However, investments are significantly lower.
  • an installation for carrying out the process ( FIG. 16 ) be designed modular. This means that the plant can be converted or configured according to a desired production. Since press lines are usually equipped with six presses in line, but in the mold hardening processes, a smaller number of presses are needed, a modular design is only partially possible, also the unused presses can not be degraded.
  • the clamping elements of the mold halves of resiliently mounted clamping inserts or clamping strips are formed, which are pressed when applying the clamping pressure in the molds, so that reduce the air gaps from a starting width and possibly disappear.
