Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Warm- oder Halbwarmumformen eines Werkstücks und eine Fertigungsanlage zum Warm- oder Halbwarmumformen eines Werkstücks.The present invention relates to a method for hot or warm forging a workpiece and a manufacturing plant for hot or warm forging a workpiece.
In der Warm- und Halbwarmumformung werden in der Regel nichtbeschichtete oder beschichtete Werkstoffe eingesetzt. Zur Vermeidung von Korrosion während des Transports kann ein Halbzeug, coil- oder platinenförmig teilweise, vorzugsweise vollständig, mit einem Korrosionsschutzöl bzw. mit Schmierstoffen versehen werden. Zusätzlich lässt sich eine Verschmutzung durch Staub oder Ähnliches, insbesondere in einem Coil- oder Platinenlager, in der Regel ebenfalls kaum vermeiden.In hot and warm forging, non-coated or coated materials are generally used. To avoid corrosion during transport, a semi-finished, coil- or platinum-shaped partially, preferably completely, be provided with a corrosion protection oil or with lubricants. In addition, contamination by dust or the like, in particular in a coil or sinker storage, usually also can hardly be avoided.
Hervorgerufen durch thermische Prozesse, die beim Erreichen der für den Temperierungsprozess gewünschten Temperatur auftreten, erfolgt eine thermische Zerlegung der Substanzen, die sich auf dem Halbzeug abgelagert haben. Infolge dieser thermischen Zerlegung verbleiben Schadstoffe auf dem Halbzeug, die wiederum die Qualität des gefertigten Halbzeugs heruntersetzen. Ein mechanisches Reinigen, beispielsweise mittels Kugelstrahlen, kann dabei die auftretenden Rückstände nicht immer vollständig entfernen bzw. kann insbesondere beschichtete Halbzeuge beeinträchtigen. Weiterhin können hohe Ölrückstände, z. B. durch eine hohe Ölauflage, während der Verarbeitung des Halbzeugs zu einer verstärkten Wasserstoffaufnahme in den Werkstoff führen. Dies kann aufgrund der hohen Festigkeit zu einer Werkstoffversprödung führen. Im Falle einer Mikrobeölung ist dieses Verhalten nicht festzustellen, jedoch kann dann kein ausreichendender Korrosionsschutz sichergestellt werden.Caused by thermal processes that occur when reaching the desired temperature for the tempering process, there is a thermal decomposition of the substances that have deposited on the semi-finished product. As a result of this thermal decomposition, pollutants remain on the semifinished product, which in turn reduce the quality of the finished semifinished product. Mechanical cleaning, for example by means of shot blasting, can not always completely remove the residues that occur or can impair in particular coated semi-finished products. Furthermore, high oil residues, eg. B. lead by a high oil layer, during processing of the semifinished product to an increased hydrogen absorption in the material. This can lead to material embrittlement due to the high strength. In the case of microbubble this behavior can not be determined, but then can not be ensured sufficient corrosion protection.

Es ist eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Verfahren zum Warm- oder Halbwarmumformen eines Werkstücks zur Verfügung zu stellen, mit dem die Qualität des durch das Warm- oder Halbwarmumformen gefertigten Bauteils gegenüber dem Stand der Technik weiter verbessert wird.It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for hot or warm forging a workpiece which further improves the quality of the hot or warm forging manufactured component over the prior art.
Die vorliegende Erfindung löst die Aufgabe durch ein Verfahren zum Warm- oder Halbwarmumformen eines Werkstücks umfassend die folgenden Verfahrensschritte:
- Bereitstellen des Werkstücks,
- zumindest teilweises Vorbehandeln des Werkstücks,
- zumindest teilweises Erwärmen des Werkstücks auf eine Zieltemperatur in einer Erwärmungsstation und
- zumindest teilweises Umformen und/oder Härten des Werkstücks,
- wobei zeitlich zwischen dem Vorbehandeln und dem Erwärmen des Werkstücks das Werkstück zumindest teilweise in einem Reinigungsschritt gereinigt wird.
- Providing the workpiece,
- at least partial pretreatment of the workpiece,
- at least partially heating the workpiece to a target temperature in a heating station and
- at least partial forming and / or hardening of the workpiece,
- wherein, in time between the pre-treatment and the heating of the workpiece, the workpiece is at least partially cleaned in a cleaning step.
Gegenüber dem Stand der Technik wird das Werkstück zeitlich nach der Vorbehandlung und zeitlich vor dem Erwärmen für das Umformen und/oder Härten gereinigt und dabei insbesondere von Rückständen befreit, die sich durch die Vorbehandlung auf dem Werkstück abgelagert haben. Dadurch wird die Qualität des zeitlich nach dem Umformen des Werkstücks gefertigten Bauteils verbessert, da die Wahrscheinlichkeit für ein Absetzen von Schadstoffen, die sich beim Erwärmen des Werkstücks aus den Rückständen bilden, und damit die Wahrscheinlichkeit für eine dauerhafte Schädigung des Werkstücks gesenkt wird. Darüber hinaus können in dem Reinigungsschritt andere Verschmutzungen, wie z. B. Staub, vom Werkstück entfernt werden.Compared to the prior art, the workpiece is cleaned in time after the pretreatment and prior to heating for forming and / or hardening, and in particular freed from residues that have been deposited by the pretreatment on the workpiece. This improves the quality of the component produced in time after the workpiece has been formed, since it reduces the likelihood of settling pollutants which form when the workpiece is heated from the residues, and thus the probability of permanent damage to the workpiece. In addition, in the cleaning step other contaminants, such. As dust, be removed from the workpiece.
Vorzugsweise ist es dabei vorgesehen, dass der Reinigungsschritt unmittelbar vor dem Erwärmen durchgeführt wird. Es ist weiterhin bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass das Werkstück nach dem Umformen und/oder Härten als gefertigtes Bauteil ein Struktur- oder Chassisbauteil eines Kraftfahrzeugs ist. Insbesondere wird das Werkstück als Blechteil, insbesondere als ebene Blechplatine (direkte Warmumformung) bzw. als nahezu seine Endgeometrie aufweisendes Formteil (indirekte Warmumformung), bereitgestellt, wobei die Vorbehandlung zumindest Teil des Herstellungsprozesses des Blechteils ist. Weiterhin ist es vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass gezielt der Teilbereich des Werkstücks, der beim Erwärmen auf die Zieltemperatur erhitzt werden soll, vorzugsweise das Werkstück vollständig, im Reinigungsschritt gereinigt wird. Es ist aber auch vorstellbar, dass solche Teilbereiche des Werkstücks gezielt gereinigt werden, von denen man am gefertigten Bauteil eine verbesserte Oberflächenqualität wünscht.It is preferably provided that the cleaning step is carried out immediately before heating. It is further preferably provided that the workpiece after forming and / or hardening as a manufactured component is a structural or chassis component of a motor vehicle. In particular, the workpiece is provided as a sheet-metal part, in particular as a planar sheet-metal plate (direct hot forming) or as a molded part (indirect hot-forming) that almost has its final geometry, wherein the pretreatment is at least part of the production process of the sheet-metal part. Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the partial area of the workpiece, which is to be heated when heating to the target temperature, preferably the workpiece is cleaned completely, in the cleaning step.

Erfindungsgemäß ist es vorgesehen, dass das Werkstück im Reinigungsschritt von einem Brenner auf eine Reinigungstemperatur erwärmt wird. Vorzugsweise wird das Werkstück von einem oder mehreren Brennern, vorzugsweise beidseitig, insbesondere allumfänglich und gleichmäßig, erwärmt. Dabei ist es vorstellbar, dass der Brenner beim Erwärmen entlang der Querrichtung oder der Längsrichtung des Werkstücks, vorzugsweise oszillierend, bewegt wird. Durch das bereits beim Reinigen des Werkstücks erfolgende Erwärmen ist für das Erreichen der Zieltemperatur in der Erwärmungsstation vergleichsweise wenig Heizenergie erforderlich. Vorzugsweise ist dabei die Reinigungsstation mit ihrem Brenner räumlich getrennt von der Erwärmungsstation, um zu vermeiden, dass sich die Schadstoffe, die sich in den beim Erwärmen auf die Reinigungstemperatur auftretenden Abgasen befinden, an den Anlagenteilen beim Erwärmen auf die Zieltemperatur ablagern. Es ist aber auch vorstellbar, dass der Reinigungsschritt in der Erwärmungsstation durchgeführt wird, indem der für das Erwärmen verantwortliche Brenner das Werkstück zunächst auf die Reinigungstemperatur erhitzt und anschließend auf die Zieltemperatur, wobei die Zieltemperatur größer ist als die Reinigungstemperatur. Dabei ist es vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass beim Erwärmen des Werkstücks auf eine Reinigungstemperatur die Umgebungsluft des Werkstücks, beispielsweise mittels eines Abzugs, abgesogen wird, um die Schadstoffe abzuführen.According to the invention, it is provided that the workpiece is heated in the cleaning step by a burner to a cleaning temperature. Preferably, the workpiece is heated by one or more burners, preferably on both sides, in particular all-round and evenly. It is conceivable that the burner during the heating along the transverse direction or the longitudinal direction of the workpiece, preferably oscillating, is moved. As a result of the heating already taking place when the workpiece is being cleaned, comparatively little heating energy is required to reach the target temperature in the heating station. Preferably, the cleaning station with its burner is spatially separated from the heating station, in order to avoid that the pollutants, which are in the exhaust gases occurring during heating to the cleaning temperature, deposit on the system components when heating to the target temperature. However, it is also conceivable that the cleaning step is performed in the heating station by the burner responsible for heating first heats the workpiece to the cleaning temperature and then to the target temperature, wherein the target temperature is greater than the cleaning temperature. It is preferably provided that when the workpiece is heated to a cleaning temperature, the ambient air of the workpiece, for example by means of a trigger, is withdrawn to dissipate the pollutants.
