Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an air-cooled flat mold for quenching test of hot-formed steel sheets, belonging to the technical field of quenching performance testing equipment for hot-formed sheets. Background Technology
[0002] The application of ultra-high strength hot-formed steel is one of the important solutions for lightweighting products in the automotive and machinery industries. The high strength of hot-formed steel is only manifested after the microstructure transformation is completed following hot forming and quenching. Therefore, to understand whether hot-formed steel can meet the application requirements, quenching tests are necessary. Flat die quenching is the most common type of quenching test, its purpose being to prepare small-sized hot-formed quenched samples for subsequent performance testing and analysis. Currently, most flat die quenching test molds use built-in water cooling systems. This mode has advantages such as strong cooling capacity and short stamping cycles, but it also has disadvantages such as high mold manufacturing costs, difficult sealing and maintenance, high requirements for mold corrosion resistance, and the need for a dedicated water chiller to provide cooling water. Flat die quenching tests for hot-formed sheets are characterized by small sample size, relatively small heat input, low test cycle requirements, and a relatively slow test pace. However, complex water-cooled molds have excessive capacity margins and high test costs for flat die quenching tests, making them unsuitable for hot-formed sheet flat die quenching tests. Therefore, it is essential to design flat die quenching test molds suitable for hot-formed steel sheets. Utility Model Content
