Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the ultra - high - strength hot stamping forming process has been increasingly applied to the design and manufacturing of automotive components. However, generally, the increase in the strength of steel plates leads to a decrease in plasticity and toughness. Therefore, in the application in the vehicle field, the problems caused by insufficient toughness and delayed cracking of hot stamping forming components have increasingly attracted the attention of technicians. For example, in the actual production process, brittle cracking often occurs in hot stamping forming components during placement, processing, transportation, or welding after hot stamping, resulting in the scrapping of parts or even the entire vehicle body, thus increasing the production cost. More seriously, some hot stamping forming components undergo delayed cracking only after the vehicle assembly is completed, thus increasing the safety hazards during vehicle operation. Therefore, when using hot stamping forming components, it is crucial to ensure both strength and toughness of the hot stamping forming components. Summary of the Invention

[0020] The accompanying drawings are used to provide a further understanding of the present disclosure and form a part of the specification. Together with the following specific embodiments, they are used to explain the present disclosure, but do not constitute a limitation to the present disclosure. In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 It is the stress-strain curve diagram of the hot stamping forming member obtained in Example 1 of the present disclosure; Figure 2 It is the stress-strain curve diagram of the hot stamping forming member obtained in Comparative Example 1 of the present disclosure. Specific Embodiments

[0021] The following further details the specific embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and are not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0022] The first aspect of the present disclosure provides a steel plate substrate. Based on the total weight of the steel plate substrate, the steel plate substrate includes 0.42 - 0.55 wt% of C (carbon), 0.40 - 0.90 wt% of Si (silicon), 0.50 - 1.20 wt% of Mn (manganese), 0.10 wt% or less of P (phosphorus), 0.10 wt% or less of S (sulfur), 0.20 - 0.50 wt% of Al (aluminum), 0.0025 - 0.01 wt% of B (boron), 1.05 - 2.55 wt% of W (tungsten), 0.40 - 1.50 wt% of Cr (chromium), 0.10 wt% or less of impurities, and the balance of Fe (iron).

[0023] The present disclosure provides a steel plate substrate. By controlling the addition and control of the C content of the material and the contents of other alloying elements, especially the control of the contents of Si, Mn, and Al and the addition of W and B, an ultra-high-strength hot stamping forming member with high resistance to hydrogen embrittlement and delayed cracking can be obtained, and it has both ultra-high strength and sufficient toughness, and has good application effects in automotive structural parts.

[0024] According to the present disclosure, C is the most cost-effective element for improving the strength of steel. By controlling the C content within the range of 0.42 - 0.55 wt%, higher strength can be obtained.

[0025] According to the present disclosure, on the one hand, Si is dissolved in the matrix and has the effect of improving the matrix strength; on the other hand, it can also be used as a deoxidizer during the steelmaking process, so Si with a content of more than 0.10 wt% needs to be added. However, more Si causes 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 affecting the surface quality of the finished product. By adding 0.40 - 0.90 wt% of Si in the present disclosure, a steel plate substrate with better performance can be obtained.

[0026] The inventors of the present disclosure have found that existing steel plate substrates fail to well control the martensitic transformation properties. This not only leads to the formation of brittle twinned martensite, which is not conducive to subsequent processing, but also has a significant impact on the toughness and delayed cracking performance of hot stamping steels and their formed components. Moreover, when the C content is too high, twinned martensite is formed instead of lath martensite with better toughness. In the present disclosure, by adding W + Cr in combination, and then reacting with C in the substrate to form Cr3W3C, the C content in the substrate is reduced, and then lath martensite is formed; and Cr3W3C is uniformly dispersed in the substrate, which can strengthen the substrate and hinder dislocation movement, thereby obtaining good strength and toughness.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the steel plate substrate comprises 0.45 - 0.51 wt% of C, 0.40 - 0.90 wt% of Si, 0.50 - 1.20 wt% of Mn, less than 0.10 wt% of P, less than 0.10 wt% of S, 0.20 - 0.50 wt% of Al, 0.0025 - 0.01 wt% of B, 1.25 - 2.15 wt% of W, 0.55 - 1.35 wt% of Cr, less than 0.10 wt% of impurities and the balance of Fe. The steel plate substrate with the preferred component contents provided by this embodiment can produce hot stamping formed components with better strength and toughness.

[0028] In an embodiment, in the steel plate substrate, the total content of W + Cr is 1.60 - 3.70 wt%, including but not limited to 1.6 wt%, 1.8 wt%, 2.0 wt%, 2.2 wt%, 2.4 wt%, 2.6 wt%, 2.8 wt%, 3.0 wt%, 3.2 wt%, 3.4 wt%, 3.6 wt%, 3.7 wt% and the ranges formed by any two values; preferably 1.95 - 3.35 wt%. By controlling the total content of W + Cr in the steel plate substrate within the range of this embodiment, especially within the preferred range, the toughness of the steel plate substrate can be further improved, and then the strength and delayed cracking performance of the hot stamping component can be improved.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, in the steel plate substrate, (W + Cr) / C is 3 - 10, including but not limited to 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and the ranges formed by any two values; preferably 4.5 - 6.5. The inventors of the present disclosure have found through experimental research that by controlling the content relationship of the three components of W, Cr and C in the steel plate substrate within the range of this embodiment, especially within the preferred range, it is beneficial to control the effect of forming Cr3W3C in the substrate, and then the effect of reducing the C content in the substrate is better, so as to improve the formation of martensite and the toughness of the steel plate substrate.

This test includes the following steps: (1) A rectangular specimen with a cross-sectional size of 15mm×115mm was obtained on the hot stamping formed steel plates obtained in the above examples and comparative examples by laser cutting, and the length direction of the specimen was perpendicular to the rolling direction of the steel plate; (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) Apply prestress loading to the specimen through a four-point bending fixture. In this test example, the prestress σ of 100% of the yield strength obtained in step (2) was selected for the steel plate specimen in the hot stamping state; (4) After the specimen was loaded, it was placed in an air medium at a temperature of 15-30°C to observe whether fracture occurred. There were 3 parallel specimens for each stress level, and if 1 cracked specimen appeared within 300 hours, it was determined to be cracked.

[0061] The test results are listed in Table 3 below.

[0062] Table 3

[0063] It can be seen from the data in Table 3 that: In the delayed cracking performance test, after 300 h of testing, none of the three groups of specimens of the hot stamping formed steel plate obtained in Example 1 fractured; For the three groups of specimens of the hot stamping formed steel plate obtained in Comparative Example 1, fractures occurred before 300 h in the delayed cracking performance test; For the three groups of specimens of the hot stamping formed steel plate obtained in Comparative Example 9, fractures occurred in some of the samples in the delayed cracking performance test, and the fracture time was below 300 h.
