Uppfinningen förklaras närmare i det följande med hänvisning till bifogade ritningar.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Pig. l är en tvärsektion genom en stötfängarbalk med öppet, upp och nedvänt U-formigt tvärsnitt; Fig. 2 är en tvärsektion genom en stötfàngarbalk med slutet, upp och nedvänt U-formigt tvärsnitt; Fig. 3 och 4 liknar fig. l och 2, men visar tvärsektioner genom balkar, som är utformade med längsgående rillor; Fig. 5 visar en del av en tvärsektion genom en stötfàng- arbalk, liknande den i fig. 3 visade, vilken balk emellertid dessutom är försedd med vertikala avstyvningar; Fig. 6 är en frontvy av en del av den i fig. 5 visade balken.Pig. 1 is a cross section through a bumper beam with open, upside down and U-shaped cross section; Fig. 2 is a cross-section through a bumper beam with closed, upside down U-shaped cross section; Figs. 3 and 4 are similar to Figs. 1 and 2, but show cross-sections through beams formed with longitudinal grooves; Fig. 5 shows a part of a cross section through a bumper beam, similar to the one shown in Fig. 3, which beam is however also provided with vertical braces; Fig. 6 is a front view of a part of the beam shown in Fig. 5.
Enligt uppfinningen bestàr det balkformiga föremälet säsom utgängsmaterial för t.ex. en stötfàngarbalk av en alumi- niumplàt av en mycket höghällfast, härdbar legering, nämligen t.ex. AA 7075 eller likvärdig. Formningen sker genom plastisk bearbetning, t.ex. pressning. valsning eller likvärdig metod eller en kombination av dessa metoder, varvid eller i anslut- ning vartill arbetsstycket förses med längsgående rillor i un- der- och/eller överflänsarna samt vid behov även förses med tvärgàende rillor i livet för att öka belkelementets ener- giupptagande förmàga. Formningen sker omedelbart efter kraftig kylning i samband med upplösningsbehandling dà materialet har 509 *617 3 làg hàllfasthet och är duktilt. Efter kylning ökar hàllfasthe- ten markant, varför formningen måste ske snabbt eller under stark kyla. Under stark kyla sker (beroende av temperaturen) ingen eller en endast làngsam ökning av hàllfastheten.According to the invention, the beam-shaped object consists as starting material for e.g. a bumper beam of an aluminum plate of a very high-strength, hardenable alloy, namely e.g. AA 7075 or equivalent. The shaping takes place through plastic processing, e.g. pressing. rolling or equivalent method or a combination of these methods, wherein or in connection with which the workpiece is provided with longitudinal grooves in the lower and / or upper flanges and if necessary also provided with transverse grooves in the life to increase the energy absorption capacity of the bell element . The molding takes place immediately after heavy cooling in connection with dissolution treatment as the material has a low strength and is ductile. After cooling, the strength increases markedly, which is why the molding must take place quickly or during heavy cooling. During severe cold (depending on the temperature) there is no or only a slow increase in strength.
Legeringar av det angivna slaget (tillhörande AA 7000 serien) innehàller zink, magnesium och koppar, och de tillhör den grupp, som har den högsta hàllfastheten. De kan vara käns- liga för korrosion men kan skyddas delvis genom ytbehandling (plätering, lackering). Vidare är rätt àldringsprocess av stor betydelse för korrosionsbeständigheten.Alloys of the specified type (belonging to the AA 7000 series) contain zinc, magnesium and copper, and they belong to the group with the highest strength. They can be sensitive to corrosion but can be partially protected by surface treatment (plating, painting). Furthermore, the correct aging process is of great importance for corrosion resistance.
De längsgående rillorna i över- och underflänsarna har till uppgift att motverka lokal buckling i. de av böjmoment belastade plàtfälten. Detta möjliggör en högre utnyttjandegrad av materialets hàllfasthet vid kollision än vad som àstadkoms i motsvarande profil utan rillor.The longitudinal grooves in the upper and lower flanges have the task of counteracting local buckling in the plate fields loaded by bending moments. This enables a higher degree of utilization of the material's strength in the event of a collision than is achieved in the corresponding profile without grooves.
De längsgående rillorna i liven har till uppgift att motverka lokal buckling i de av tvärkraft belastade plàtfäl- ten. Detta möjliggör en högre utnyttjandegrad av materialets hällfasthet vid kollision än vid som ästadkoms i motsvarande profil utan rillor.The longitudinal grooves in the webs have the task of counteracting local buckling in the plate fields loaded by transverse force. This enables a higher degree of utilization of the material's pour strength in the event of a collision than that achieved in the corresponding profile without grooves.
De tvärgàende rillorna i liven har till uppgift att mot- verka lokal buckling i de av tvärkraft belastade plàtfälten.The task of the transverse grooves in the life is to counteract local buckling in the plate fields loaded by transverse force.
Detta möjliggör även en högre energiabsorberande förmåga och högre utnyttjandegrad av materialets hàllfasthet vid kolli- sion än vad som àstadkoms i motsvarande profil utan rillor.This also enables a higher energy-absorbing capacity and a higher degree of utilization of the material's strength in the event of a collision than is achieved in the corresponding profile without grooves.
Enligt uppfinningen skapas således en tunnväggig profil med öppet tvärsnitt, där plàtfälten styvas av medelst rillor för utnyttjande av materialets höga hàllfasthet.According to the invention, a thin-walled profile with an open cross-section is thus created, where the plate fields are stiffened by means of grooves for utilizing the high strength of the material.
Alternativt skapas enligt uppfinningen en tunnväggig profil med slutet tvärsnitt, vilken bestär av nyssnämnda tunn- väggiga profil med öppet tvärsnitt i kombination med ytterli- gare åtminstone en fläns, som utgörs av liknande plåt och är fäst vid den öppna profilen genom limning, svetsning, friction stir welding, genom mekaniskt förband eller en kombination av dessa.Alternatively, according to the invention, a thin-walled profile with a closed cross-section is created, which consists of the aforementioned thin-walled profile with an open cross-section in combination with a further at least one flange, which consists of similar sheet metal and is attached to the open profile by gluing, welding, friction stir welding, by mechanical connection or a combination of these.
Företrädesvis utgörs materialet av plåt av en höghàllfast aluminiumlegering i AA7000, AA2000, AA 6000 eller AA 8000 serien, företrädesvis med preferens av AA 7000 serien med 509 -617 tillsatser av koppar, (t.ex. AA 7075 eller likvärdigt) Ämnen av det nyss angivna materialet utsätts enligt upp- finningen för en upplösningsbehandling på det ovan angivna sättet och därefter kraftig kylning, varefter de formas plas- tiskt, antingen omedelbart efter kylningen, såsom inom 30 min. och företrädesvis inom 5 min.Preferably the material of sheet metal is a high-strength aluminum alloy in the AA7000, AA2000, AA 6000 or AA 8000 series, preferably with the preference of the AA 7000 series with 509 -617 additives of copper, (e.g. AA 7075 or equivalent). according to the invention are subjected to a dissolution treatment in the above-mentioned manner and then to vigorous cooling, after which they are formed plastically, either immediately after cooling, such as within 30 minutes. and preferably within 5 minutes.
Alternativt kan man kyla de upplösningsbehandlade ämnena till en temperatur av ca. -40 "C direkt efter kylningen, var- vid den plastiska formningen kan ske vid ett senare tillfälle, i vilket fall det är möjligt att genomföra formningen vid en temperatur mellan kallt tillstànd och ordinär rumstemperatur.Alternatively, the solution-treated substances can be cooled to a temperature of approx. -40 "C immediately after cooling, whereby the plastic molding can take place at a later time, in which case it is possible to carry out the molding at a temperature between the cold state and ordinary room temperature.
