Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of the preparation of hot-formed steel, and more specifically relates to a preparation method for an efficient short-process subcritical quenching antioxidant hot-formed steel. Background Art

[0002] Under the background of automotive lightweighting, higher requirements are imposed on the design and use of steel for automotive structural parts. As the main high-strength safety structural steel used in automobile bodies, hot-formed steel needs to heat the steel plate to a relatively high temperature, keep it warm, and then perform stamping forming during the production process. A large amount of scale will be generated during the production process of the currently mainly used steel grades and process flows. Subsequently, shot peening treatment or coating addition before painting is usually required, which increases production costs and energy consumption.

[0003] In order to solve the surface oxidation problem during the hot-forming process, reduce production processes, and lower production costs, domestic and foreign scientific researchers have conducted a large amount of research and exploration on new materials and new processes of hot-formed steel. Some existing technologies propose a method for removing scale from 1000 - 1800 MPa grade hot-formed steel with high Cr-Si alloying, which combines hydrochloric acid pickling and EPS treatment to remove the scale of hot-formed steel. Without the premise of an Al-Si coating, it meets the control requirements for the scale thickness in subsequent hot forming, but this process is similar to shot peening treatment, making the process flow complex. Some existing technologies propose a high-plasticity hot-formed steel and its rapid heating preparation method, which obtains a complex phase structure of martensite matrix, submicron retained austenite, and nanometer carbides by using a process of rapid heating and long-time heat preservation, improving the strength of the specimen, but the heat treatment process is relatively complex, the process flow time is long, and it is not conducive to energy conservation and emission reduction. Some existing technologies propose a 1500 MPa grade high-plasticity, high fracture strain antioxidant hot-formed steel. By introducing a mixed structure of lath-shaped ferrite, twinned martensite, and retained austenite, a hot stamping forming steel with a yield strength of 830 - 870 MPa, a tensile strength of 1520 - 1570 MPa, and an elongation after fracture of 13% - 18% is obtained, but part of the yield strength is sacrificed while improving the plasticity. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a preparation method for an efficient short-process subcritical quenching antioxidant hot-formed steel, which uses a rapid heating process to obtain a high-strength, high-toughness antioxidant hot-formed steel, reduce the degree of surface oxidation during the hot-forming process, reduce the time required for the hot-forming process, and at the same time improve the strength and plasticity of the hot-formed steel, thereby improving production efficiency, so as to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following solution:

[0006] One of the technical solutions of the present invention: Provide a high-efficiency short-process subcritical quenching antioxidant hot-forming steel. By mass percentage, except for Fe, the components include: C 0.20 - 0.30%, Mn 0.5 - 1.5%, Cr 1.0 - 1.5%, Si 1.2 - 1.4%, Al 0.4 - 0.6%, Nb 0.15 - 0.30% and V 0.15 - 0.30%, as well as inevitable impurities.

[0007] Further, for the high-efficiency short-process subcritical quenching antioxidant hot-forming steel, by mass percentage, the components are: C 0.20 - 0.30%, Mn 0.5 - 1.5%, Cr 1.0 - 1.5%, Si 1.2 - 1.4%, Al 0.4 - 0.6%, Nb 0.15 - 0.30% and V 0.15 - 0.30%, and the balance is Fe and inevitable impurities.

[0008] The reasons for limiting the chemical composition of the high-strength, high-toughness antioxidant hot-forming steel of the present invention are as follows:

[0009] As a strengthening element in the steel, C has a significant impact on the martensite content, tensile strength, etc. of the steel plate after hot forming. In order to ensure the martensite structure and sufficiently high tensile strength of the hot-forming steel, and at the same time to ensure good plasticity, toughness and weldability of the hot-forming steel, the C content is controlled to be 0.20 - 0.30%;

[0010] Mn plays a role in solid solution strengthening and improving toughness in the steel. However, when the Mn content is too high, it is easy to cause slab segregation and affect the tissue uniformity. The Mn content is controlled to be 1.00 - 1.80%;

[0011] The addition of Si can play a role in solid solution strengthening, improve the stability of austenite, and promote subsequent martensite transformation. At the same time, Si can form a dense oxide film during the hot-forming process to inhibit the continuous growth of the oxide film on the steel plate surface, thereby improving the high-temperature oxidation resistance of the steel. However, too high Si content will lead to deterioration of weldability and toughness in the heat-affected zone of welding. The Si content is controlled to be 0.60 - 1.20%;

[0012] Cr can improve the hardenability of the steel and promote martensite transformation. At the same time, Cr can improve the high-temperature oxidation resistance of the steel. The Cr content is controlled to be 2.00 - 2.5%;

[0013] Element Al can improve the antioxidant performance and anti-hydrogen embrittlement performance of the hot-forming steel at the same time, and can play a role in refining grains. However, when the Al content is too high, it will produce non-metallic inclusions and cause adverse effects. Therefore, the Al content is controlled to be 0.60 - 1.20%;

[0014] Nb and V are strong carbide-forming elements. During the preparation process, they precipitate to form complex carbides. The Nb-V complex carbides can act as hydrogen traps, which can reduce the concentration of diffusible hydrogen, thereby reducing the hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity of hot-formed steel and improving the safety of automotive hot-stamped parts. In addition, the dispersion of Nb-V complex carbides in ferrite can increase the strength of ferrite and resist the strength reduction caused by the presence of ferrite. Considering comprehensively, the mass percentage of Nb is 0.05-0.20%, and the mass percentage of V is 0.05-0.20%. The above element compositions cooperate synergistically, and combined with the cooperation of the mechanical metallurgy preparation method, a high-strength, high-toughness, and oxidation-resistant hot-formed steel composed of 2-3.5% ferrite and 96.5-98% martensite can be obtained.

[0015] The second technical solution of the present invention: Provide a preparation method for an efficient short-process subcritical quenching oxidation-resistant hot-formed steel, and the steps include:

[0016] Prepare raw materials according to the above components, melt them into molten steel, and prepare them into slabs;

[0017] Perform heat treatment on the slab. Before the end of the heat treatment, dephosphorization before rolling is carried out, and then multi-pass hot rolling is carried out. Subsequently, it is shaped, cooled, and coiled to obtain hot-rolled thin strip steel;

[0018] After the hot-rolled thin strip steel is rapidly heated and short-time held (ultra-rapid heating process), press quenching and forming are carried out to obtain the efficient short-process subcritical quenching oxidation-resistant hot-formed steel.

[0019] Further, the temperature of the heat treatment is 1150-1200 °C, and the holding time is 2-zh4 h.

[0020] Further, the starting rolling temperature of the multi-pass hot rolling is not lower than 1180 °C, the final rolling temperature is Ac3-20 °C to Ac3 of the steel, and the final rolling reduction is not lower than 20%.

[0021] Further, the shaping is carried out by using a rolling mill for shaping after multi-pass hot rolling.

[0022] Further, the cooling is to cool to 650-750 °C.

[0023] Here, the cooling is carried out by air cooling, and the cooling rate is between 10-15 °C / s.

[0024] Further, the heating and holding are to heat the hot-rolled thin strip steel from room temperature to Ac3-20 °C to Ac3 within 10-20 s and hold for 10-60 s.

[0025] During hot forming, an ultra-fast heating method such as induction heating is used to refine the grains, synchronously improve the strength and plasticity, and the rapid heating can reduce the high-temperature holding time, reduce the high-temperature oxidation, and thus reduce the content of antioxidant elements such as Cr and Si in the steel, reducing the production cost.

[0026] The press quenching forming can be adaptively adjusted according to the required automotive structural parts.

[0027] The third technical solution of the present invention: Provide an application of the above-mentioned high-efficiency short-process intercritical quenching antioxidant hot forming steel or the above-mentioned preparation method in the preparation of automotive safety structural parts.

[0028] The present invention discloses the following technical effects:

[0029] When heating and holding the hot-rolled thin strip steel in the present invention, a rapid heating and short-time holding process is adopted, which shortens the time required for the process flow, improves the production efficiency, and performs hot forming at the two-phase region temperature, where the temperature is lower, which can save energy, reduce the carbon dioxide emissions, and at the same time reduce the cost.

[0030] When heating and holding the hot-rolled thin strip steel in the present invention, a rapid heating strategy is adopted, and the temperature is set slightly lower than the complete austenitization temperature of the steel, introducing a small amount of fine ferrite and retaining the dispersed precipitation phase. On the basis of fine grain strengthening and plasticization, the strength and plasticity of the antioxidant hot forming steel are further improved.

[0031] In the hot forming steel prepared by the present invention, in addition to improving the antioxidant performance and hardenability, the Si element can also promote the segregation of the V element at the grain boundary, reduce the grain boundary energy, further improve the austenite stability and hardenability, inhibit the phase transformation in the high-temperature region, obtain a finer martensite structure during press quenching, and improve the strength of the steel; while the V element plays a role in precipitation strengthening, the interaction between Si and V can make the solid solution V play a significant role in improving the hardenability, replace the B element, and reduce the smelting difficulty of the steel.
