Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a cohesive connection between a first semifinished product and a second semifinished product.
- Lightweight construction is an essential element in reducing vehicle weight. This can be achieved, inter alia, by the use of materials with increased strength. As the strength increases, its bending capacity tends to decrease. In order to ensure the occupant protection required for crash-relevant components in spite of increased strength to realize lightweight construction, it must be ensured that the materials used can convert the energy introduced by a crash by deformation. This requires a high degree of formability, especially in the crash-relevant components of a vehicle structure.
- One way to save weight for example, the body, frame and / or the chassis of a vehicle even easier to design and build by lightweight and innovative materials compared to the conventionally used materials. For example, component-specific conventional materials can be replaced by lighter materials with comparable properties.
- hybrid materials or composites are finding their way into the automotive industry, which are composed of two or more different materials, each individual material having certain properties, but in combination substantially opposing properties are combined to improved properties in the composite material compared to the individual to provide monolithic materials.
- Composite materials, in particular of different steel alloys are known in the prior art, see for example DE 10 2008 022 709 AI and DE 10 2015 114 989 B3.
- steel alloys having a structure which has a certain austenite content such as high manganese steel alloys with high (tensile) strengths (R m ) and high (fracture) strains (A 8 o), which for example components with complex geometry or components Crash-relevant areas for absorption of energy in the event of a crash can be made.
- Such steel alloys are known for example from WO 2006/048034 AI and can at Consistent properties are designed to be thinner than conventional steel alloys, whereby by reducing the material thickness positive influence on the total weight of the component or the vehicle can be taken. Such steel alloys are therefore ideal for the automotive industry.
- steel alloys with a certain austenite content in the microstructure are only conditionally coatable, in particular with a zinc-based corrosion protection coating, owing to their chemical and physical properties.
- An example of the coating of high manganese steel alloys is known from DE 10 2009 018 577 B3.
- zinc-based hot dip coated high manganese steel alloys may tend to cause hydrogen induced cracking after molding.
- steel alloys with a certain austenite content in the microstructure are also only conditionally thermally available, in particular solderable, since they lead to severe solder rupture and inadmissible solder joints according to DVS Merkblatt 0938-2, as investigations within the framework of the AiF research project no.
- Soldering is understood as meaning a thermal process for materially bonding materials / materials with the aid of a material (solder) that is particularly low in comparison to the connecting materials / materials, wherein a liquid phase is called by heat melting a solder, also called soldering, or by diffusion A solder at the interfaces, also called diffusion soldering, is formed and, after cooling of the liquid phase, a material bond is formed between the bonded materials.
- Object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a material connection.
- the invention relates to a method for producing a material-locking connection between a first semifinished product comprising at least one first layer of a steel alloy having a structure which has an austenite content of at least 15% by volume and at least one second layer of a soft steel alloy, which is connected to the first layer on one or both sides over the entire surface and in a materially bonded manner, in particular after shaping as a part or component, with at least one second semifinished product, in particular dere as a part or component of a steel alloy, in particular a monolithic steel alloy, wherein the second semifinished product is connected to the second layer of the first semifinished product by means of a soldering process.

At high contents, it leads to the formation of hardening structures ( ⁇ '- and ⁇ -martensite) as well as to TRIP or TRIP. TWIP-capable austenite and particularly good strength-formability relations. Above, for example, 35.0% by weight, these induced mechanisms are reduced Plasticity and another cost-relevant alloy is useless.

- the second layer of the soft steel alloy has a material thickness between 0.2% and 15%, in particular between 0.5% and 10%, based on the total material thickness of the semifinished product.
