Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a component by hot forming a precursor of steel according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • precursors sheet metal plates are understood.
  • Such components are mainly used in the automotive industry, but also in mechanical engineering or construction can be used.
  • the primary suppliers are trying to meet this need by reducing the wall thickness by providing high-strength and ultra-high-strength steels, while at the same time improving component behavior during production and operation.
  • the board is cut to fit the hot forming forming tool. It is also possible to provide the respective workpiece to be formed, or the blank, with a hot-dip coating.
  • the application of a metallic coating on the preform to be formed prior to hot forming is advantageous in this method because the coating effectively prevents scaling of the base material and, due to an additional lubricating effect, excessive tool wear.
  • thermoformable steels for this application are z. B. the manganese-boron steel "22MnB5" and recently also air hardenable steels according to a still unpublished patent application of the applicant.
  • this process requires a great deal of energy by heating the precursor to austenitizing temperature and converting ferrite into austenite, which makes the process expensive and produces significant amounts of CO 2 .
  • an additional metallic protective layer or a protective layer Lacquer base required or a considerable rework of the scale-hardened by heating and reshaping.
  • a further disadvantage is that to obtain appropriate component strengths after press hardening only convertible steels can be used with a sufficient conversion inertia, which must have correspondingly expensive alloying additions for the structure to be achieved and hardness after forming.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method for producing a component by hot working, which is inexpensive and can be achieved with the comparable or improved properties of the formed component as in the known hot forming by press hardening.
  • this object is achieved by a method in which in the course of the process, the heating of the precursor takes place at a temperature below the Ac 1 conversion temperature and the precursor undergoes an increase in strength by cold forming prior to heating.
  • the inventive method has opposite to that of DE 601 19 826 T2 known method for producing a component on the advantage that at significantly lower energy consumption for heating the component strength after forming in the Substantially achieved by the previously introduced into the precursor Kaltverfestist. This saves energy and alloying costs.
  • the introduced dislocations lead to a considerable increase in strength, which is only insignificantly reduced by the heating process, so that the strength of the component can be adjusted in a targeted manner.
  • Experiments have also shown that the ductility of the finished component compared to a component produced by press-hardening could be significantly increased.
  • the degree of cold work not less than 3% should not be less than 5% advantageous depending on the material used in the precursor.
  • Forming degrees which have been found to be advantageous in the case of hot-rolled strip are between about 3% and about 50% to 80% between conventional temper rolling.
  • the invention is easily applicable even at the high degrees of cold rolling.
  • cold work grades in the range of 5 to 35% have proven excellent.
  • the invention is applicable to precursors of soft to high strength steels, eg. B. with yield strengths of 140 MPa to 1200 MPa, which may be provided with a scale or corrosion inhibiting layer as a metallic coating.
  • the metallic coating may contain Zn and / or Mg and / or Al and / or Si.
  • surface-finished hot strip can already be used for forming following heating, since the adhesion and the ductility endure half-hot forming with low degrees of deformation.
  • the metallic coating is resistant to short-term reheating of the substrate / coating combination (steel strip / coating) below the Ac 1 temperature of the substrate to survive reheating prior to semi-hot forming and actual semi-hot forming.
  • the reheating takes place before the half-warm forms by means of radiation, since the efficiency is significantly higher than when heated in an oven or conductive heating and the energy input into the material takes place faster and more effective depending on the surface condition.
  • the cold-formed intermediate product is advantageously heated to a temperature of below 720 ° C. in a temperature range of 400-700 ° C. and then shaped into a component.
  • the optimum forming temperature depends on the required strength of the component and is preferably between about 540 ° C and 700 ° C.
  • a further increase in strength is achieved during the pressing process and the subsequent cooling by the so-called “bake-hardening effect" or by an additional excretion formation, eg. B. VC, allows.
  • the increase in strength can be achieved by controlled cooling or subsequent heat treatment (eg paint baking or stress relief annealing).
  • a local exceeding of the temperature range of the Semi-warm forming in the austenitizing made in order to make specific local property changes (eg local hardening), which are adapted to the subsequent stresses of the component in combination with the increase in strength of the remaining material.
