Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing a high-strength tube part according to the preamble of the independent
- tube creates connection possibilities directly in the sheet metal part or in the component, so that additional fastening means, such.
- Threaded bushings, etc. can be dispensed with.
- the tube is integral, d. H. integrally integrated in the sheet metal part. To introduce the tube in the sheet metal part, so far only soft steels can be used as the starting material of the sheet metal blank. Thus, such tube parts have a low overall strength. As known from the prior art
- Tubular parts have a low strength in order to achieve relatively high degrees of deformation, they are unsuitable for use as structural and safety components.
- the invention proposes a method for
- Tubes parts find in the so-called load thread of the body shell, which should ensure the protection of the occupants in the event of a crash.
- the curing of the tube part can take place in a hot-forming step.
- This offers the advantage that tube parts with a tensile strength in the range of> 1300 MPa can be produced.
- the hot forming step in the sense of this invention is understood to mean that the
- a mechanical processing in particular the introduction of threads into the tube, takes place after the tube part has hardened, wherein the tube part has softer and harder sections.
- the tube or region in which mechanical processing takes place corresponds to a section of the tube part which is soft after the hardening step. In this area, the tube part has low
- the tube part can have strength values which correspond to the strength value of the material of the output plate. This can advantageously be a particularly simple mechanical processing, in which the wear of the
- Machining tool is reduced to a minimum.
- - to ensure a rework of the possible thread in the tube - leave this section of the tube or the tube part in a soft state or subsequently annealed in this section.
- This can be done by typical methods of making soft sections in hot worked or press hardened parts.
- Such measures may be, for example, the use of an absorber mass or a heat shield in the oven in which the already
- cold-formed tube part is heated.
- a 3-D heat radiator with which only the areas of the cold-formed tube part to be hardened are heated, non-hardening areas not being detected by the 3-D radiator.
- measures can also be achieved in the hot forming step or during press hardening. In these measures, a part of the forming tool is heated or a thermal insulation between the heated
- Tubenteil and the hot forming tool for example in the form of an air gap provided.
- the component undergoes a slower cooling in this area, so that set in this section, a lower strength.
- measures can be taken on the hardened component, whereby, for example, inductive tempering causes certain sections of the high-strength tube part to be heated, as a result of which the high strength initially achieved by hardening in this region is again reduced.
- a heat-formable steel in particular 22MnB5
- 22MnB5 a heat-formable steel
- This is a martensitic hardenable tempered steel whose high-strength properties are only established during hot forming by transformation into a martensitic microstructure.
- the strength of manganese steel grades is about 600 MPa. After their hardening, for example by hot working, a tensile strength up to about 1800 MPa can be achieved.
- Conventional manganese drilling steels contain the following alloying elements:
- the hot-workable steel of the board can be provided with a corrosion protection layer, wherein the board or the coil is precoated.
- a corrosion protection layer in a
- the coating is optionally on the board, on the cold-formed tube part or on the high-strength tube part.
- the subsequent coating offers a particularly good sheathing of the complete tube part, and thus a particularly high corrosion protection.
- coatings are particularly suitable aluminum-silicon coatings, zinc coatings, etc.
- Tubular parts with a yield strength> 950 MPa and a tensile strength> 1300 MPa can be produced with this invention. This is achieved by the use according to the invention of the indirect hot forming or the two-stage hot forming process for producing such tube parts. In this process, boards are first cut from a coil of thermoformable material. Thereafter, the boards are cold formed, creating an uncured tube part.
- cold forming takes place in several steps, wherein successively in 10-20 pressing the component is converted to its final geometry.
- the blanks are formed using numerous drawing stages. In general, deep drawing of the board occurs in a first pull stage.
- Forming stages are introduced with the help of die and male tube sections in the deep-drawn board, so that a tube part with its final shape is formed successively. If necessary, a thread can be introduced in a final press step of cold forming.
- the forming in the cold state offers higher degrees of freedom with respect to
- the tube part can be machined, for example by introducing threads or by trimming to a desired contour. It also punch holes and
- the cold-formed tube parts are heated in an oven to the austenitizing temperature of about 900 ° C.
- the tube part can be completely heated, or only certain portions of the tube part are heated, with other sections are not heated or only slightly heated.
- After heating in the oven is a rapid cooling of the tube part.
- the cooling takes place in a tool, which on the one hand increases the strength of the steel and, on the other hand, calibrates the geometry of the component. In this tool, in which the component is cooled, can optionally take place Restumformung. If only individual areas of the tube part were heated in the oven, a rapid increase in cooling will only increase the strength in the previously warmed up areas. Unheated areas or areas just below the
- Strength values are generated to the immediate units, such as gearbox, engine, engine mounts, mountings for axle and the like, can be mounted. This can in the vehicle a
- Weight savings are achieved and additional assembly processes, such as mounting nuts omitted.
