[0018] Other features and advantages of the present disclosure will be described in detail in the following specific implementation section. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0019] The drawings are used to provide a further understanding of the present disclosure, and constitute a part of the specification. Together with the following specific implementation, they are used to explain the present disclosure, but do not constitute a limitation to the present disclosure. In the drawings: Figure 1 is the stress-strain curve of the hot stamping formed component obtained in Example 1 of the present disclosure; Figure 2 is a photo of the 300h delayed cracking result (no cracking) of the hot stamping formed component obtained in Example 1 of the present disclosure; Figure 3 is a photo of the 300h delayed cracking result (fracture occurred) of the hot stamping formed component obtained in Comparative Example 1 of the present disclosure; Figure 4 is a photo of the 300h delayed cracking result (fracture occurred) of the hot stamping formed component obtained in Comparative Example 9 of the present disclosure. SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION
[0020] The following will describe the specific implementation of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described herein is only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and is not used to limit the present disclosure.
[0021] In the first aspect of the present disclosure, a steel plate substrate is provided. Based on the total weight of the steel plate substrate, the steel plate substrate includes 0.29 - 0.42 wt% of C (carbon), 0.15 - 0.50 wt% of Si (silicon), 0.30 - 0.90 wt% of Mn (manganese), less than 0.10 wt% of P (phosphorus), less than 0.10 wt% of S (sulfur), 0.10 - 0.50 wt% of Al (aluminum), 0.05 - 0.10 wt% of Nb (niobium), 0.001 - 0.02 wt% of B (boron), 0.20 - 0.80 wt% of W (tungsten), less than 0.10 wt% of impurities, and the balance of Fe (iron).
[0022] The present disclosure provides a steel plate substrate. By adding and controlling the C content and the contents of other alloying elements in the steel plate substrate, especially controlling the contents of Si, Mn, and Al and adding W and B, and then performing plating treatment and hot stamping treatment on the steel plate substrate, an ultra-high strength steel plate with high resistance to hydrogen embrittlement and delayed cracking can be obtained, which has good application effects in automotive structural parts.
[0023] According to the present disclosure, C is the most cost-effective element for improving the strength of steel. However, simply increasing the C content will, in addition to increasing the strength, also promote the formation of twinned martensite and deteriorate the toughness of the final steel plate structure. The present disclosure controls the C content in the steel plate substrate to 0.29 - 0.42 wt%, which can balance strength and toughness.
[0024] According to the present disclosure, on the one hand, Si is dissolved in the matrix and has the effect of increasing the matrix strength, and on the other hand, it can also be used as a deoxidizer during the steelmaking process. However, more Si will cause different degrees of grain boundary oxidation and decarburization on the surface of the steel plate at different positions during the cooling process after hot rolling coiling of the steel coil, affecting the pickling effect of the steel coil and ultimately the surface quality of the finished product. The present disclosure controls the Si content to 0.15 - 0.50 wt%, and a steel plate substrate with better performance can be obtained.
[0025] According to the present disclosure, Mn has the effect of improving hardenability and significantly increasing the stability of austenite. When a certain content of Mn is added to the alloy composition, during the heating process, Mn can expand the temperature range of complete austenitization, and during the cooling process, it can delay the formation of ferrite and bainite to promote martensite transformation. The present disclosure controls the Mn content within the range of 0.30 - 0.90 wt%, which can not only give full play to the role of Mn but also avoid the disadvantages of segregation caused by excessive addition of Mn and reducing the toughness of the material.
[0026] According to the present disclosure, Al is an element that can increase the Mf temperature of the steel plate. The present disclosure controls the Al content within the range of 0.10 - 0.50 wt%, which can make the steel plate substrate have a better self-tempering effect.
[0027] According to the present disclosure, Nb(CN) precipitates can pin dislocations, thereby increasing the yield strength. At the same time, undissolved NbC can be retained during the hot forming heating stage to delay the coarsening of austenite grains. The present disclosure controls the Nb content within the range of 0.05 - 0.10 wt%, which can give better play to the effect of Nb.
[0028] According to the present disclosure, controlling the B content within the range of 0.001 - 0.02 wt% can not only significantly improve the hardenability of the steel plate substrate but also avoid the negative effect of boron embrittlement caused by too high B content and being unfavorable to performance.
[0029] According to the present disclosure, adding W metal to the steel plate matrix, there is a chemical affinity between the precipitated WC phase formed and hydrogen atoms, which can combine with hydrogen atoms to form a stable compound W2C·H. The formation of the W2C·H hydride fixes hydrogen atoms, preventing them from freely migrating and aggregating in the material, thereby significantly improving the hydrogen embrittlement resistance of the material. W can dissolve in the iron matrix to form a solid solution, changing the lattice structure of the material, thereby slowing down the diffusion rate of hydrogen atoms. At the same time, it can also reduce the migration path of hydrogen atoms in the material, further improving the hydrogen embrittlement resistance of the material. The present disclosure controls the W content to be 0.20 - 0.80 wt%, which can improve the stability of martensite and greatly improve the hardenability.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the steel plate matrix comprises 0.32 - 0.38 wt% of C, 0.15 - 0.50 wt% of Si, 0.30 - 0.50 wt% of Mn, P below 0.10 wt%, S below 0.10 wt%, 0.25 - 0.40 wt% of Al, 0.05 - 0.10 wt% of Nb, 0.005 - 0.01 wt% of B, 0.40 - 0.70 wt% of W, impurities below 0.10 wt% and the balance of Fe. The steel plate matrix with the preferred component contents provided by this embodiment can further improve the hardenability and toughness of the steel plate matrix, and is more conducive to obtaining a hot stamping forming component with a martensite matrix having high strength and high hydrogen embrittlement resistance to delayed cracking.
[0031] In one embodiment, based on the total weight of the steel plate matrix, the total content of B + W + Nb is 0.42 - 0.90 wt%, preferably 0.45 - 0.70 wt%. The inventors of the present disclosure have found that controlling the total content of B, W, and Nb in the steel plate matrix within the range of this embodiment, especially within the preferred range, can further improve the hardenability and toughness of the steel plate matrix to improve the mechanical properties and hydrogen embrittlement resistance to delayed cracking of the hot stamping steel plate.

The standard for the delayed cracking performance of the hot stamping parts included: no cracking in the 300h hydrogen embrittlement test. This test included the following steps: (1)Obtain rectangular specimens with a cross-sectional size of 15 mm × 115 mm on the hot stamping formed steel plates obtained in the above examples and comparative examples by laser cutting. The length direction of the specimens is perpendicular to the steel plate rolling direction; (2)Select typical specimens and perform pre-tension on a tensile testing machine to obtain the yield strength of the material in the hot stamping state; (3)Perform prestress loading on the specimens through a four-point bending fixture. In this test example, the prestress σ of 100% of the yield strength obtained in step (2) is selected for the hot stamping state steel plate specimens; (5)After loading the specimens, place them in an air medium at a temperature of 15 - 30 °C to observe whether fracture occurs. There are 3 parallel specimens for each stress level. If 1 cracked specimen appears within 300 hours, it is determined that cracking has occurred.
