Problems solved by technology

That is, the front frame or the rear frame, which serves as a collision energy absorbing member that undergoes significant deformation at the time of collision to absorb collision energy, may deteriorate in ductility to suffer significant cracking, or have an unstable deformed shape at the time of collision to thereby Stable buckling cannot be obtained, therefore, local fracture may easily occur when the strength of the raw material steel increases

Embodiment 1)

[0183] Each molten steel having the chemical composition of Table 1 was prepared by a steelmaking process and cast into a slab (steel raw material) having a thickness of 300 mm. Subsequently, the slabs thus obtained were each heated to the heating temperature shown in Table 2, then subjected to hot rolling including finish rolling under the conditions shown in Table 2, and then cooled under the conditions shown in Table 2 and Coils were coiled at the coiling temperatures shown in Table 2 to obtain hot-rolled sheets (sheet thickness: 2.4 mm).

[0184] Subsequently, the hot-rolled sheets thus obtained were each subjected to cold rolling at the cold-rolling reduction ratios shown in Table 2 to obtain cold-rolled steel sheets (sheet thickness: 1.2 mm). Subsequently, the cold-rolled steel sheets thus obtained were each subjected to an annealing process under the conditions shown in Table 2.

[0185] The steel sheets thus obtained (cold-rolled and annealed sheets) were subjected to...

[0212] Collision energy absorbing members were produced using thin steel sheets having tensile properties, n values, and bending properties (mechanical bending radius Rc) shown in Table 5, each having a tensile strength of the order of 980 MPa to 1300 MPa, as raw materials . The collision energy absorbing member is formed as figure 2 One of these shapes of members X, W, and J of . The back plates were each formed from a 590 MPa class high strength steel plate, as in Example 1.

[0213] A crush test was performed by using these collision energy absorbing members configured as described above. The test methods were the same as those employed in Example 1.

[0214] The obtained results are shown in Table 5.

Abstract

The present invention provides a vehicle collision energy absorbing member having a high collision energy absorbing capability in the axial direction. The vehicle collision energy absorbing member is formed of a high-strength thin steel plate having a TS of at least 980 MPa, and an n value and a limit bending radius (Rc) satisfying the following formula: Rc≤1.31×ln(n)+ 5.21. By using a high-strength thin steel plate, even when TS is 980 MPa or higher, the member can be buckled stably in the axial direction and crushed into a bellows shape during a vehicle collision. Preferably, the high-strength thin steel sheet has the following composition by weight: C: 0.14% to 0.30%; Si: 0.01% to 1.6%; Mn: 3.5% to 10%; N: 0.0060% or less; and Nb : 0.01% to 0.10%. The high-strength thin steel sheet includes a ferrite phase of 30% to 70% relative to the entire structure volume fraction and a second phase having at least 10% of a retained austenite phase, the ferrite phase having a thickness of 1.0 μm or Smaller average grain size, the average interval of the retained austenite phase is 1.5 μm or less.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle collision energy absorbing member (also referred to as a vehicle axle crush member) that is crushed axially when a vehicle collides to thereby absorb collision energy, and more particularly to stably improving collision energy absorbing performance. Background technique [0002] In recent years, from the viewpoint of global environmental protection, there has been a demand for weight reduction of vehicle bodies. High-strength steel sheets are currently widely used for vehicle bodies, especially for peripheral parts of passenger boxes (car compartments), which contribute to reducing the weight of the vehicle body by thinning the walls of the vehicle body. On the other hand, the strength of the high-strength steel plates used for the frame of the engine room and for the trunk (including the front frame and the rear frame) for the purpose of increasing strength reaches only 780MPa at the highest. The reason is t...
