Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a device which can spray gas mist for cooling the surface of complex parts, and belongs to the technical field of coating hot forming steel processing equipment. Background Art
[0002] In the automobile production process, high-strength hot stamping steel is widely used as a safety structural part of the automobile due to its high strength (tensile strength ≥ 1500MPa). Traditional bare plate hot-formed steel will produce severe oxidation and decarburization during the heating process, and the corrosion resistance of the parts after hot forming cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, a series of coated hot stamping steels have been developed, such as aluminum silicon coating, zinc coating, zinc iron alloy coating, etc. Pure zinc-coated hot stamping steel sheets have developed rapidly in recent years. Due to the high Al content in the zinc liquid, Al and Fe react quickly to first form a continuous and dense Fe2Al5 inhibition layer, which prevents the production of Fe-Zn brittle phases. When the zinc layer is destroyed, the zinc coating can provide cathodic protection for the steel plate. In the actual application of pure zinc hot-formed steel, there are still major process technology bottlenecks that have not been effectively solved. First, after the pure zinc coating is austenitized, the coating contains liquid Zn, which is prone to liquid metal embrittlement (LMIE) cracks during stamping at high temperatures; second, due to the presence of oxides on the surface of the coating, the contact resistance is increased, affecting weldability. In order to solve the above problems, the traditional idea is to use an indirect hot forming process to reduce the applied stress. This process greatly limits the scope of use of galvanized hot-formed steel. In order to solve the surface oxides, the insulation time is often reduced to reduce the thickness of the oxide layer. This control method is not conducive to complete austenitization, and the reduction in insulation time will hinder the full diffusion between iron and zinc, which is not conducive to the formation of α-Fe phase. To solve this problem, the current existing technology mainly focuses on adding a pre-cooling device between conventional hot stamping processes.
[0003] Chinese patent application No. 202111073382.7 discloses "a hot bath forming process for highly corrosion-resistant and easy-to-weld hot-pressed parts". This process uses the technology of uniformly and controllably removing the surface oxide layer by means of bubbles generated between boiling water and hot sheet metal. This technology transfers the heated sheet metal to a boiling water tank, and uses "insulating layer bubbles" to continuously clean the surface of the steel plate, remove oxides such as ZnO, Al2O3 and MnO on the surface, and control the forming temperature of the sheet metal, while forming and quenching in boiling water. However, this technical solution increases the complexity of equipment and control to a certain extent, and also has certain limitations for large and complex parts.
[0004] Another Chinese patent application No. 202111382425.X discloses "a method for hot forming of galvanized sheets to reduce costs and improve production efficiency". This method uses the coolant sprayed from a high-pressure atomizing nozzle to control the liquid zinc and then control the liquid metal from penetrating into the matrix to cause cracks. The cooling devices of this technical solution are all arranged inside the mold. The first-level cooling device sprays the material at the entrance with a long range and a small space. The design space of the entire assembly line is restricted. The second-level cooling device is arranged on the upper and lower mold surfaces of the mold. It is easy for the spray port to be blocked and damaged, and the reliability of the equipment is reduced.
[0005] In actual production use, the above technical solutions are very difficult to process and implement, which will increase production costs. Utility Model Content
