Description

    TECHNICAL FIELD
  • The present invention relates to a material and a manufacturing method therefor, and particularly relates to a thermoformed material and a manufacturing method therefor.
    • BACKGROUND ART
  • In recent years, the application of thermoformed component in automobile industry has become very important. Especially, with respect to safety structural parts of automobile, it has irreplaceable advantages in some parts with high strength and complex shape. The materials used for thermoformed components are divided into those with coating and those without coating. The main purpose of the coating is to prevent the oxidation of the steel plate surface during the hot stamping process. The formed components can be directly coated and welded for use. At present, the materials without coating must be subject to surface shot peening after thermoforming to remove the oxide layer generated on the surface, otherwise it will affect the subsequent coating and welding of parts. The surface of materials hot-dipped with aluminum coating cannot be phosphated normally after thermoforming. The adhesion of paint film after electrophoresis depends entirely on the surface morphology of the coating. During the use of existing materials, there will be the problem that the coating adhesion cannot meet the use.
  • For example, the Chinese patent document with the publication number of CN 104 651 590 A and the publication date of May 27, 2015 , entitled "process for manufacturing stamped products, and stamped products prepared from the same" discloses a thermoforming material coated with aluminum or aluminum alloy and its manufacturing method. The method specifically controls the thickness and five-layer structure of the coating to ensure the welding performance of thermoformed component.
  • For another example, the Chinese patent document with the publication number of CN 108 588 612 A and the publication date of September 28, 2018 , entitled "hot-stamping forming component, pre-coating steel-plating plate for hot-stamping forming, and hot-stamping forming process" discloses a hot-stamping formed component. In the technical solution disclosed in the patent document, the thickness of the coating is reduced and the protective effect of the coating is also reduced. Therefore, the fluctuation of the thermoforming process is easy to affect the surface performance of the component, thus affecting the subsequent service performance.
  • For another example, the Chinese patent document with the publication number of CN 101 583 486 A and the publication date of November 18, 2009 , entitled "coated steel strip, methods of making the same, methods of using the same, stamping blanks prepared from the same, stamped products prepared from the same, and articles comprising such stamped products" discloses a hot stamped product of coated steel strip and a method. The technical solution disclosed in the patent document includes heating, transferring and cooling, but does not involve the hot stamping process, which will lead to the unstable quality of stamped products, such as shrinkage and cracking. The furnace atmosphere during the heating process is not controlled, which leads to the change of furnace atmosphere during the heating, especially the large change of oxygen content, which makes the appearance color of products easy to change. In the actual production, it is found that the appearance color of stamped products obtained from the same incoming materials under the same process is quite different. Moreover, the published patent applications EP 3 070 187 A1 , EP 3 354 360 A1 and CN 106 466 697 A disclose steel sheets according to prior art.
    • SUMMARY OF INVENTION
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a thermoformed component having excellent coating adhesion. The thermoformed component has good paintability, good coating adhesion and good corrosion resistance, and is very suitable for automotive parts, such as front and rear doors, left and right anti-collision rods/beams, front and rear bumpers, A-pillar reinforcing plates, B-pillar reinforcing plates, floor middle channels, etc.
  • To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a thermoformed component having excellent coating adhesion, comprising a substrate layer and an aluminum coating coated on at least one surface of the substrate layer, wherein the average roughness Ra of a surface of the thermoformed component is between 1.0 µm and 3.0 µm, the peak-to-valley height Rt is between 8 µm and 30 µm, and the roughness peak count Rpc is greater than or equal to 50, wherein the mass percentage of chemical elements of the aluminum coating is: Si: 4~14%, Fe: 0~4%, Mg: 0~10%, Zn: 0~20%, and a balance of Al and other unavoidable impurities, wherein the aluminum coating comprises a diffusion layer adjacent to the substrate layer and an alloy layer on the surface of the aluminum coating, wherein the ratio of the thickness of the diffusion layer to the total thickness of the aluminum coating is 0.08-0.5; wherein the mass percentage of chemical elements of the substrate layer is: C: 0.01 -0.8%, Si: 0.05~1.0%, Mn: 0.1 ~5%, P≤0.3%, S≤0.1%, Al<0.3%, Ti≤0.5%, B: 0.0005~0.1%, Cr: 0.01 ~3%, Nb≤0.5%, V≤0.5%, and a balance of Fe and other unavoidable impurities.
  • In the technical solution of the present invention, the aluminum coating comprises aluminum phase and aluminum silicon phase. In the heating process, the aluminum in the aluminum coating diffuses to the substrate layer, and the iron in the substrate layer diffuses to the aluminum coating to form Al8Fe2Si phase. The formation of new phase leads to a significant increase in surface roughness.

  • To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a manufacturing method for the above thermoformed component having excellent coating adhesion, comprising the following steps:
    1. (1) immersing a substrate in an aluminum coating solution to obtain a plate having an aluminum coating on a surface thereof, wherein the average weight of the aluminum coating is 20~120 g/m2 per single surface, wherein the mass percentage of chemical elements of the substrate is: C: 0.01 -0.8%, Si: 0.05~1.0%, Mn: 0.1~5%, P≤0.3%, S≤0.1%, Al<0.3%, Ti≤0.5%, B: 0.0005~0.1%, Cr: 0.01~3%, Nb≤0.5%, V≤0.5%, and a balance of Fe and other unavoidable impurities, and wherein the mass percentage of chemical elements of the aluminum coating solution is: Si: 5~11%, Fe: 2~4%, Zn: 0~15%, Mg: 0~8%, and a balance of Al and other unavoidable impurities;
    2. (2) leveling: using a leveling roller having a roughness Ra of 0.5~3.0 µm to level the plate, and controlling the leveling elongation ≤2.0%, so that the surface thermal radiation coefficient of the plate is 0.1~0.8, the surface roughness Ra of the plate is 0.3~2.0 µm, and the peak roughness count RPC of the surface of the plate is 30~150;
    3. (3) blanking: performing blanking on the plate or cutting the plate to obtain a blank having a required component shape;
    4. (4) heat treatment: putting the blank into a heating furnace for heating and heat preservation, wherein the temperature of the heating furnace is 880~960 °C, the atmosphere in the heating furnace is air or nitrogen, and the residence time of the blank in the heating furnace is 2.5~10 min, wherein during the heating up process of blank heating, the heating rate does not exceed 10 °C/s in the range of heating up to 400~600 °C;
    5. (5) transferring and hot stamping: quickly transferring the heated blank to a mold for cooling and stamping forming to form a thermoformed component, wherein the blank is transferred to the mold within 20 seconds, the closing speed of the mold during stamping is 30~150 mm/s, and/or the blank is cooled to 50~200 °C at a cooling rate of 30~150 °C/s, wherein after the mold is closed, a pressure holding quenching is continued for 4~20 s, and the pressure holding pressure applied to the blank surface is ≥ 8 MPa, and wherein the material of the mold meets the following requirement: the thermal diffusion coefficient at 700 °C is greater than 3.8 mm2/s.

  • Further, in the manufacturing method of the present invention, in step (5), the blank is transferred to the mold within 20 seconds.
  • Further, in the manufacturing method of the present invention, in the hot stamping process of step (5), after the mold is closed, a pressure holding quenching is continued for 4~20 s, and the pressure holding pressure applied to the blank surface is ≥8 MPa. In some embodiments, the pressure holding pressure is 10~20 MPa.
  • Further, in the manufacturing method of the present invention, in step (5), the material of the mold meets the following requirement: the thermal diffusion coefficient at 700 °C is greater than 3.8 mm2/s.
  • Further, in the manufacturing method of the present invention, in step (5), during stamping, the closing speed of the mold is 30~150 mm/s, so that the thermoformed component can ensure good forming performance and reduce stamping defects, such as cracking and necking.
