The same deformation form as the form was shown, and the deformation position was “good” in all of CASE-2 to CASE-6.
- the maximum value of equivalent plastic strain is the maximum equivalent plastic strain generated in the quenched part when displaced by 100 mm in the vehicle height direction, and was evaluated by the ratio divided by the maximum value in CASE-1 (base). Tables 3 to 5 show this ratio (hereinafter referred to as the equivalent plastic strain ratio (rate of equivalent to plastic strain)).
- FIG. 6 shows the relationship between the length L of the transition portion in the axial direction in this analysis, the cross-sectional area A of the main body, the cross-sectional secondary moment I (LA / I), and the maximum equivalent plastic strain ratio. It is a graph.
- LA / I increases the length L of the transition portion, which not only saturates the effect but also may reduce the load bearing characteristics, and further stabilizes Control for forming the transition portion becomes difficult. Therefore, in the present invention, LA / I ⁇ 0.2 [1 / mm].
- FIG. 7 is an explanatory view showing a welded portion between the structural member 1 according to the present invention and another structural member (attachment member), and FIG. 7 (a) shows a case where the welding is continuous welding. (B) shows the case where welding is resistance spot welding.
- continuous welding such as arc welding or laser welding is performed to weld with other structural members
- spot welding such as resistance spot welding is performed to weld with other structural members.

(i)高い塑性ひずみが座屈しわによって延性が小さい焼入れ部に衝突の初期から発生すること、および
(ii)このため、構造部材が衝突の初期焼入れ部を起点として早期に破断するおそれが高まること
という新規な課題を知見した。高い衝撃エネルギーの吸収性能および高い耐荷重性能をともに得られるという部分焼入れの効果が、構造部材が焼入れ部を起点として早期に破断すると、減殺される。
(1)中空の閉じた横断面を有する鋼製の本体を備え、該本体は、軸方向へ、焼入れされた焼入れ部と、母材硬度と同じ硬度の母材硬度部と、前記焼入れ部および前記母材硬度部の前記軸方向の間に設けられて、強度が母材硬度部の強度から焼入れ部の強度へと変化するように形成される遷移部とを少なくとも一部に備える自動車車体用構造部材において、
前記軸方向への前記遷移部の長さL(mm)が、前記本体の断面積をA(mm2)とするとともに前記本体の断面2次モーメントをI(mm4)とする場合に、下記(1)式の関係を満足すること
を特徴とする自動車車体用構造部材。
(2)前記母材硬度部の引張強度は700MPa以下であるとともに、前記焼入れ部の引張強度は1470MPa以上である1項に記載された自動車車体用構造部材。
(3)前記軸方向に垂直な断面における、前記焼入れ部、前記母材硬度部および前記遷移部それぞれの硬さ分布は、略一定である1項または2項に記載された自動車車体用構造部材。
(4)前記母材硬度部または前記遷移部に設けられた、他の自動車車体用構造部材との溶接される溶接予定部を備える1項から3項までのいずれか1項に記載された自動車車体用構造部材。
(5)前記本体は、前記横断面の外側へ突出する外向きフランジを有さない(the closed cross section is free of an outwardly-extending flange)1項から4項までのいずれか1項に記載された自動車車体用構造部材。
図1(a)は、本発明に係る構造部材1の遷移部5付近の二面図であり、図1(b)は、焼入れ部、遷移部および母材硬度部の硬度の一例を示すグラフである。
表3~5に、全てのモデルの解析結果をまとめて示す。表3~5においては、変形位置は焼入れ部の端から離れた位置で変形を開始したものを「good」で示し、そうでないものを「no good」で示す。
