Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing metallic components with adapted properties according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention relates to a method for producing steel sheets and steel components therefrom, the sheets being composed of sheet metal pieces with different properties and in particular welded together.
- TWB Tailored Welded Blanks
- Tailored welded blanks of this type play a major role in the manufacture of motor vehicle bodies in particular.
- CnB steels very highly hardenable steels
- press hardening the blank made of highly hardenable steel is heated to a temperature above the austenitization temperature and austenitized as completely as possible.
- This blank which is in the austenitic state, is then transferred to a forming tool and both formed with one or more press strokes or press strokes and hardened by the large amount of heat dissipated from the blank into the forming tool.
- This method is also known as the direct method.
- a modern vehicle body thus consists of a number of load-conducting, high-strength components as well as soft, deformable elements for energy absorption.
- Tailored Welded Blanks make it possible to integrate both properties, i.e. the load conduction and the deformation capacity, in a single component, which enables improved possibilities for energy absorption in the event of a crash and even more improved occupant protection in motor vehicles. Accordingly, these tailored welded blanks consist of hardenable areas made of the CMnB steels already mentioned and welded areas made of a softer partner material.
- Such tailored welded blanks can also be processed with the two hardening processes mentioned. Accordingly, a high-strength, martensitic hardened structure is created during the press hardening process or during the form hardening process, ie during the direct or indirect process in the hardenable area.
- the softer partner material takes part equally in the press-hardening process, but the different alloy layers result in significantly lower strength values with higher elongation values, which enables a high degree of energy absorption.
- monolithic, soft and ductile components can also be manufactured, which are later connected to hard components in the body in a joining process.
- steels are usually used as the soft partner material, which have a structure of ferrite and pearlite after the press-hardening process.
- Such tailored welded blanks are already well known from the prior art.
- a large number of materials are already well known as soft partner materials.
- the object of the invention is to create a method in which tailored welded blanks, for example, can be created in a simple and cost-effective manner, in which the softer partner achieves stable mechanical characteristics regardless of the cooling situation.
- a further object is to create a material that is suitable as a soft partner material in particular for tailor-welded blanks and that ensures stable mechanical characteristics regardless of the cooling situation and the cooling process.
- a further task is to create a welded blank with a softer partner material and a highly hardenable boron-manganese steel and which ensures stable mechanical parameters regardless of the cooling situation and independent of the cooling process.
- the softer partner material is formed from a steel with a dual-phase structure (DP steel).
- the dual-phase structure according to the invention consists of a ferritic matrix with embedded martensite inclusions. Due to the enormous hardening capacity with the same strength, this allows a significantly better formability in terms of elongation at break and thus higher energy absorption than ferritic-pearlitic structures, as are known in the prior art. Therefore, the steels with a dual-phase structure according to the invention are very well suited as a soft partner material.
- Known dual-phase steels are, for example, from EP 2 896 715 B1 known, in which a dual-phase steel with titanium precipitation hardening is described.
- a press-hardened steel with a dual-phase structure is known.
- a press-hardened steel with a structure of ferrite and bainite and martensite is known.
- a structure can form which consists of a tempered martensitic matrix with little ferrite, which has only low elongations at high strengths. Only with lower cooling rates in the press are stable mechanical parameters set in the press, independent of the insertion temperature.
- the material in order to ensure a sufficient amount of ferrite and thus a ferritic matrix in the structure, the material is annealed in the furnace in such a way that ferrite is also present in addition to austenite.
- intercritical annealing takes place in the furnace.
- Intercritical annealing means that the material is annealed between its Ac1 and Ac3 temperatures.
- the amount of ferrite required to form a ferritic matrix is achieved during cooling between the furnace and press, in addition to the formation of ferrite nuclei with subsequent ferrite growth, as well as the steady growth of the ferrite present from the intercritical annealing.
- the Ac3 temperature for the soft partner material must be kept high so that intercritical annealing is possible at all.
- the Ac3 value is increased by aluminum.
- the dual-phase steel is therefore formed with an increased aluminum content. This prevents a fully austenitic annealing condition due to the alloy.
- the annealing temperature is set at > 800°C due to the CMnB partner steel, so that this annealing value must be taken as given for the intercritical annealing.
- CMnB steels The Ac3 temperature of CMnB steels is usually around 840 °C.
- concept of the invention is based on a C-Si-Mn-Cr-Al-Nb/Ti alloy concept.
- the carbon contained serves to adjust the level of strength, with a higher carbon content lowering the Ac3 value, increasing strength and also increasing the yield point.
- the elongation decreases, the formation of ferrite, pearlite and bainite is delayed and the amount of martensite in the microstructure increases.
- the task of manganese is to adjust the level of strength. More manganese lowers the Ac3 value and increases strength and yield strength. With a higher manganese content, the elongation decreases and the formation of ferrite, pearlite and bainite is retarded and the amount of martensite in the structure increases.
- silicon increases the level of strength, increases the Ac3 value and delays the formation of pearlite and bainite.
- Typical values of Ae1 temperatures and Ae3 temperatures for DP steels according to the invention and alloys not according to the invention are listed in Table 1. These calculated values essentially correspond to the Ac1 temperatures and Ac3 temperatures.
- an Ae1 temperature or an Ae3 temperature that is too low is caused by the alloy composition selected in each case achieved and/or the desired mechanical characteristics (e.g. due to insufficient silicon content) not being achieved.
- Chromium mainly retards pearlite and bainite formation and ensures martensite formation, so chromium has a great influence on ensuring the dual-phase character.
- the sheet steel component is produced by cold forming a blank from at least one area made of a highly hardenable carbon-manganese-boron steel and at least one dual-phase steel, then heating it and quenching it in a cooling press, or a blank from at least one area made of a highly hardenable carbon-manganese-boron steel and at least one area made of a dual-phase steel is heated to a temperature above the austenitization temperature of the highly hardenable steel material and then in a forming and cooling press with one stroke or several strokes to the Sheet steel component is formed, with a dual-phase steel being used as a softer material and as a partner for the highly hardenable carbon-manganese-boron steel, the Ac3 value of which is raised to such an extent that it can austenitize the carbon-manganese-boron at the required annealing temperatures -steel only to a partial austenitization of the dual-phase steel, so that when it is placed
- the annealing temperatures are advantageously >800° C., preferably >840° C., in particular >870° C., but less than Ac3 of the dual-phase steel.
- the holding time in the oven is between 0 and 600 seconds, preferably 5 and 300 seconds.
- the Ac3 value of the dual-phase steel is so high that the degree of austenitization that occurs with the holding time and the temperature is between 50% by volume and 90% by volume.
- the cooling rate when transferring the formed component or blank from the furnace into the cooling and/or forming press is between 5 Kelvin/sec and 500 Kelvin/sec, particularly preferably between 5 Kelvin/sec and 100 Kelvin/sec 10 Kelvin/sec and 70 Kelvin/sec.
- the insertion temperature in the press is between 450 and 850°C, preferably between 450 and 750°C.
- the insertion temperature is set to 700 to 850° C. during the hardening process.
- the insertion temperature during the press hardening process is set to 400 to 650°C, preferably 440 to 600°C and particularly preferably to 450 to 520°C.
- the cooling rate in the press is advantageously ⁇ 10 Kelvin/sec.
- the annealing temperature is set in such a way that the dual-phase steel is annealed intercritically, ie between its Ac1 and Ac3 temperatures.
- the remainder is iron and unavoidable impurities from the smelting process.
- the material has a degree of austenitization of 50 to 90% at an annealing temperature of 800 to 950° C. and a furnace holding time of up to 300 seconds and after quench hardening has an existing dual phase structure with ferritic matrix and 5 to 20% martensite and optionally some bainite.
- the method according to the invention provides, as a tailored welded blank (TWB), at least one usually flat sheet metal part made of a highly hardenable steel material, such as a boron-manganese steel and in particular a steel from the family of 22MnB5 or 20MnB8 and the same steels with at least one usually to combine a flat sheet metal part made of a dual-phase steel.
- a tailored welded blank TWB
- a highly hardenable steel material such as a boron-manganese steel and in particular a steel from the family of 22MnB5 or 20MnB8 and the same steels with at least one usually to combine a flat sheet metal part made of a dual-phase steel.
- Such a combined tailored welded blank can then subsequently be sufficiently heated and then formed, or formed, then heated and quenched, in a direct or indirect process.
- a dual-phase steel which has a comparatively high aluminum content. According to the invention, it was found that aluminum lowers the sensitivity of the mechanical characteristics to the insertion temperature and greatly lowers the sensitivity to the cooling rate in the press.
- Simple carbon-manganese alloys which are fully austenitically annealed in the furnace, show a strong dependence on the insertion temperature at high cooling rates in the press.
- the remainder is iron and unavoidable impurities from the smelting process.
- the degree of austenitization that occurs in the dual-phase steel is between 50 and 90% by volume, with the target structure being a fine dual-phase steel with a ferritic matrix and 5 to 20% by volume of martensite and possibly some bainite.
- the target structure is achieved when the subsequent cooling process is adhered to and accordingly when manipulating the component or circuit board in the cooling press, i.e. during handling, a cooling rate of 5 to 500 Kelvin/sec is maintained and the insertion temperature in the cooling press is 400 to 850°C, preferably 450 to 750°C, the insertion temperature in the cooling press being set to 700 to 800°C during the form hardening process (indirect method).
- the insertion temperature is set to 400 to 650°C, preferably to 440 to 600°C and particularly preferably to 450 to 520°C.
- the special effect, especially in the direct process, i.e. press hardening at an insertion temperature of 450 to 520°C, is that the microstructure can be optimally adjusted, resulting in a particularly robust system with cooling rates.
- the cooling rate in the press should be ⁇ 10 Kelvin/sec.
- air cooling about 5 Kelvin/sec to 70 Kelvin/sec cooling rate
- plate cooling cooling rates of more than 80 Kelvin/sec can be achieved without any problems
- the behavior of both steels is similar in that the elongation values, depending on the insertion temperature, fluctuate so much that conventional dual-phase steels with the known process windows and the known variations in insertion temperature are not at all suitable as partners for a highly hardenable steel.
- the microstructure of the lower-alloy steel from the two graphics is shown at an insertion temperature of 750° and a cooling rate that was achieved by water cooling.
- the invention therefore, in order to ensure a sufficient amount of ferrite and thus a ferritic matrix in the dual-phase structure, it is possible to carry out intercritical annealing in the furnace, so that ferrite is also present in addition to austenite.
- the Ac3 temperature must be kept high for the soft partner material, i.e. the dual-phase beam, so that intercritical annealing is possible at all. According to the invention, this Ac3 value is increased by aluminum.
- the invention therefore has the advantage that the good properties of the dual-phase steel can be transferred to a method for press or form hardening, in particular for the production of a tailored welded blank.
