AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When multiple blanks are partially overlapped and joined together to form a single blank, cracks and other fracture problems are prone to occur, especially in the hot stamping process of complex shapes and large parts. This not only affects the quality of the parts, but also leads to a decrease in productivity.

Method used

By simulating and analyzing the material flow behavior of some billets, we can pre-determine where the material flow difference is small and join them. We can then use local joining methods such as spot welding and overlapping welding to avoid joining in areas with large material flow differences, thereby suppressing the occurrence of fracture.

Benefits of technology

It effectively suppresses cracks and fractures in the integrated blank during hot stamping, ensuring efficient production of large, complex-shaped parts, improving productivity and achieving excellent impact resistance.

Abstract

The present invention provides a blank (integrated blank) for suppressing cracking and the like when a plurality of partial blanks are partially overlapped to form an integrated blank and the integrated blank is subjected to press forming. A press-formed blank formed by joining a plurality of partial blanks formed of a steel sheet has an overlapping portion in which at least two partial blanks are partially overlapped, and in a method of manufacturing the press-formed blank, the material flow amount (movement vector of a point on each partial blank) of the partial blanks of the overlapping portion caused by press forming is calculated in advance, only the partial blanks whose difference in material flow amount (movement vector) is smaller than a predetermined limit value are joined, thereby manufacturing the press-formed blank, and after the blank is subjected to hot press forming, the other partial blanks of the overlapping portion are joined to obtain a desired press-formed component.
