Embodiment 1

[0022] Such as figure 1 As shown, the local softening method of the automobile B-pillar comprises the following steps:

[0023] 1) Heating: put the B-pillar material into the heating furnace for zone heating, only one part of the material needs to be softened, this part is soft zone 2, and the rest of the material is hard zone 1, and hard zone 1 is also one. The temperature of the hard zone of the blank is heated to any value or range of values ​​in 860-960° C., and the blank is kept at this temperature for 3-5 minutes until the hard zone is completely austenitic. Heating the soft area of ​​the web to any value or range of values ​​in the range of 500-650°C, and maintaining this temperature, a transition area 3 is naturally formed between the hard area 1 and the soft area 2 of the web;

[0024] 2) Molding cooling: take the blank out of the heating furnace, and then stamp it on the press through the mold clamping. When the mold is clamping, the circulating cooling water in the...

Embodiment 2

[0026] Such as figure 2 As shown, the local softening method of the automobile B-pillar comprises the following steps:

[0027] 1) Heating: put the B-pillar material into the heating furnace for zone heating, only one part of the material needs to be softened, this part is soft zone 2, the rest of the material is hard zone 1, and hard zone 1 is two, Heat the temperature in the high temperature zone of the blank to 910-960°C, keep the temperature for 3 minutes until the hard zone is completely austenitized, heat the soft zone of the blank to 700-860°C, and keep this temperature range. A transition zone 3 is naturally formed between the hard zone 1 and the soft zone 2;

[0028] 2) Molding cooling: Take the tablet out of the heating furnace, and then stamp it on the press through the mold clamping. When the mold is closed, the circulating cooling water in the mold is quickly cooled, so that all the hard areas 1 of the tablet form high-strength quenching Martensite, the soft ar...

Embodiment 3

[0030] Such as image 3 As shown, the local softening method of the integral door knocker includes the following steps:

[0031] 1) Heating: put the overall door ring piece sheet into the heating furnace for heating, heat the temperature in the furnace to any value or value range in the range of 860-960°C, keep the sheet at this temperature for 3-5 minutes, so that The blank is completely austenitized;

[0032] 2) Molding and cooling: take the tablet out of the heating furnace, and then press the mold on the press for 10-15 seconds. When closing the mold, the part of the blank that needs to be softened is the soft zone 2, there are two soft zones 2, the rest of the blank is the hard zone 1, and there are three hard zones 1. The mold insert corresponding to the soft zone 2 of the blank has a built-in heating system, and the temperature is maintained at 500°C-550°C, while the mold insert corresponding to the hard zone 1 of the blank is circulated with cooling water to achieve ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for partial softening of automobile thermoforming parts, which can be realized in a variety of ways: 1. In the heating stage of the thermoforming sheet, the temperature of the sheet in different regions is controlled; 2. In the mold closing stage of the thermoforming process , to control the temperature of the inserts in different areas of the mold; 3. During the mold clamping stage of the thermoforming process, control the cooling rate of the sheet metal in different areas; 4. After the thermoforming process is completed, reheat the thermoformed parts partially. The invention can realize that the same thermoformed part has different mechanical properties in different regions, and optimizes the performance of the part in the collision test of the whole vehicle. The high-strength part of the thermoformed parts with modified properties is mainly composed of quenched martensite, and the tensile strength is ≥ 1300Mpa. The low-strength part is composed of one or more combinations of ferrite, pearlite, bainite, tempered martensite, and retained austenite, and the tensile strength is ≤1000Mpa.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a local softening method for thermoformed parts of an automobile, so as to realize that the same thermoformed part has different mechanical properties in different regions, and optimize the performance of the parts in the collision test of the whole vehicle. Background technique [0002] In order to improve the crash performance of the whole vehicle, thermoformed parts are more and more widely used on the car body. However, the structure of traditional thermoformed parts is mainly quenched martensite, and only one strength range can be realized on the same part. Using local softening process for thermoformed parts and customizing local material structure can realize different strength ranges of the same part in different areas, which is more conducive to optimizing the crash performance of the whole vehicle. Contents of the invention [0003] In view of the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, the technical problem to b...
