Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of steel preparation, and in particular relates to low-cost anti-oxidation hot-formed steel and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Due to its ultra-high strength, good hot stamping forming performance, weldability and paintability, the application scope and proportion of hot-formed steel in the field of automotive safety structural parts are constantly increasing. It is often used in body structural parts such as automobile A / B / C pillars and automobile chassis, as well as safety parts such as front and rear bumpers, door anti-collision beams, etc.

[0003] At present, commonly used hot-formed steel plates are divided into bare plates and coated steel plates, among which coated steel plates are mainly Al-Si coated hot-formed steel. Compared with bare plates, coated steel plates form a dense Al-Si covering layer on the outer layer and an Al-Fe-Si transition layer between the substrate and the covering layer, which plays a good protective role. Therefore, the coated hot-formed steel does not need to be shot peened and oiled after hot stamping. It has better corrosion resistance and part dimensional stability, so it has been widely used in the automotive industry. However, Al-Si coated hot-formed steel with good oxidation resistance also has some problems. Its production process is more complicated and the cost is higher. In addition, due to the presence of the coating, hydrogen diffusion will be hindered, causing hydrogen embrittlement. Therefore, it is urgent to develop hot-formed steel that is free of Al-Si coating, resistant to oxidation and low in cost by designing the alloy composition of hot-formed steel.

[0004] At present, adding a high content of Cr to the traditional 22MnB5 alloy composition is a typical representative of anti-oxidation hot-forming steel without Al-Si coating. Since the affinity of element Cr to O is higher than that of Fe, Cr preferentially combines with O to form a Cr2O3 protective film during the hot forming process, which effectively hinders the further oxidation of Fe.

[0005] Chinese patent CN114990434B proposes that increasing the Cr content to 3.0% can improve the oxidation resistance of hot-formed steel. After hot stamping at 930°C for 3.5 minutes in an inert atmosphere, the oxide layer is thinner and the protective layer or shot blasting process can be omitted.

[0006] Chinese patent CN114045440B proposes a high-strength and high-plasticity hot-formed steel with oxidation resistance for automobiles and a hot-forming process. The traditional production process is used to add 1.5% to 3.2% Cr and 0.1% to 0.3% Mo to the Mn-B component system to achieve an antioxidant effect. After hot forming, subsequent production processes can be carried out directly without shot peening.

[0007] Chinese patent CN117551852A proposes that the oxidation resistance of an alloy with a Cr content of 1.5% to 3.0% can be improved by pre-oxidizing it at a temperature of 700 to 820°C and then hot stamping it.

[0008] In summary, although the oxidation resistance of steel during hot stamping can be improved by alloy composition design or pretreatment before hot stamping, the addition of a large amount of precious element Cr, or even more precious element Mo, will increase the production cost of hot-formed steel. Moreover, a high content of Cr will significantly increase the carbon equivalent of steel, reduce the stability of retained austenite, promote the precipitation of carbides, and thus increase brittleness. Summary of the invention

[0022] The melting is carried out by non-consumable arc melting method in an inert protective atmosphere, and electromagnetic stirring is applied;

[0023] Repeated smelting several times to obtain an alloy ingot with uniform composition;

[0024] The alloy ingot is melted and formed into an antioxidant hot-formed steel precursor by a copper mold suction casting process. The antioxidant hot-formed steel precursor is hot-rolled at a starting temperature of 1100-1200°C and a reduction of more than 80%. Subsequently, a simulated coiling process is performed at a temperature of 650-680°C. Finally, a simulated hot stamping process is performed to obtain a low-cost antioxidant hot-formed steel.

[0026] Some embodiments disclose applications of low-cost oxidation-resistant hot-formed steel, which is used to produce automotive parts.

[0027] The low-cost anti-oxidation hot-forming steel disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention has a Cr content lower than that of the existing high-Cr anti-oxidation hot-forming steel. The oxidation resistance of the low-cost anti-oxidation hot-forming steel is improved by increasing the Si content.

[0091] In summary, the low-cost oxidation-resistant hot-formed steels prepared in Examples 1 to 4, the experimental steels prepared in Comparative Examples 1 to 2, and the oxidation-resistant hot-formed steels prepared in Comparative Examples 3 to 4 were subjected to oxidation weight gain tests and surface oxidation simulations after hot stamping;

[0092] Among them, the processing method of oxidation weight gain test is as follows:

[0093] Take from the steel after simulated coiling The disc was used as the test sample, and the two circular surfaces were polished with 600#, 1000#, and 2000# SiC sandpaper in turn, and then cleaned with alcohol ultrasonically; the instrument used for oxidation weight gain was a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), the instrument heating rate was 20℃ / min, argon gas was used for protection during the heating process, and when the temperature reached 950℃, the argon gas was removed and air was passed, and a continuous oxidation curve within 20 minutes was drawn.

[0094] Among them, the treatment of steel before simulating hot stamping oxidation is as follows:

[0095] Take a square sample with a size of 10×10×1mm from the steel after simulated coiling;

[0096] Use 240#, 600#, 1000#, and 2000# SiC sandpaper to grind one 10×10mm surface and four 1×10mm sections of the sample to remove machining marks;

[0097] The surface of the polished sample is mechanically polished to finally reach a mirror surface;

[0098] The mechanically polished samples were placed in an alcohol solution, cleaned by ultrasound for 5 minutes, and then blown dry;

[0099] The treated samples were placed in an argon environment and kept at 950 °C for 5 min, then transferred to air and cooled to room temperature.

[0100] The results of the oxidation weight gain test and the simulated hot stamping oxidation surface test of the oxidation-resistant hot-formed steel prepared in Examples 1 to 4, the experimental steel prepared in Comparative Examples 1 to 2, and the oxidation-resistant hot-formed steel prepared in Comparative Examples 3 to 4 are as follows: Figures 1 to 8 As shown;

[0101] Among them, Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that compared with comparative examples 1 to 2, more Si elements are added in examples 1 to 4. As the Si content gradually increases, the oxidation weight gain of the low-cost anti-oxidation hot-formed steel gradually decreases, and the oxidation resistance is improved. The oxidation weight gain of the low-cost anti-oxidation hot-formed steel prepared in example 3 at 950°C for 5 minutes is 0.51 mg / cm 2 The oxidation performance is comparable to that of Comparative Examples 3 to 4, and the oxidation weight gain after 10 min of heating at 950°C is 0.8 mg / cm 2 Compared with comparative examples 3 to 4, the anti-oxidation performance is better; and, compared with comparative examples 3 to 4, no Cr element is added in Example 3, so that the alloy cost of Example 3 is significantly lower than that of comparative examples 3 to 4;

[0102] Depend on Figures 3 to 5 It can be seen that the oxide layer thickness of the low-cost oxidation-resistant hot-formed steel prepared in Example 4 after simulated hot stamping oxidation is about 2 μm, which is equivalent to the oxide layer thickness of the high-Cr oxidation-resistant hot-formed steel prepared in Comparative Example 3, and is lower than the oxide layer thickness of the steel prepared in Comparative Example 1, indicating that Si can improve the oxidation resistance of hot-formed steel;

[0103] Depend on Figures 6 to 8 It can be seen that compared with Comparative Example 1, Example 4 and Comparative Example 3 both have stronger bcc matrix (110) diffraction peak intensity, weaker Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 diffraction peak intensity, and no Mn3O4 diffraction peak, indicating that the high-temperature oxidation of hot-formed steel can be alleviated by adding a certain amount of Si.

[0104] Depend on Fig. 9 It can be seen that the tensile strength of the low-cost anti-oxidation hot-formed steel prepared in Example 4 can reach 1500 MPa, and the elongation is 9%, which can meet the use requirements of 1500 MPa-grade hot-formed steel.
