Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to reaming tool technical field, concretely relates to a reaming tool for hydrogen-induced delayed cracking of hot forming parts. BACKGROUND

[0002] Due to the increase of lightweight and anti-collision demand in the automobile industry, if the traditional cold stamping material continues to be applied to safety parts, the material thickness needs to be increased to meet the anti-collision demand, which is contrary to the lightweight of automobiles.

[0003] Currently, hot forming steel is mostly used in automobile safety parts. The thickness of hot forming steel can be halved compared to cold stamping steel while ensuring strength, which can meet the requirements of lightweight and anti-collision.

[0004] Hot forming steel is divided into bare plate and aluminum-silicon plated plate. The use of aluminum-silicon plated plate to produce parts may have the risk of hydrogen-induced delayed cracking. The mechanism is as follows: during the heating process in the roller hearth furnace, the aluminum-silicon plated layer melts due to its melting point of about 600℃ (material heating temperature of 880℃-950℃), in addition, the plated layer reacts with water vapor in the furnace to generate hydrogen gas and penetrate into the material matrix, resulting in an increase in hydrogen content in the material, which increases the risk of hydrogen-induced delayed cracking during the subsequent die cold forming process.

[0005] In view of the risk of hydrogen-induced delayed cracking in the production of aluminum-silicon plated plate parts, the existing detection methods include HTDS, hydrogen charging experiment, slow tensile test, etc. These experiments are high in cost and time-consuming, and do not have the effect of rapid detection in the field of production, therefore, the national standard GB / T24524-2021 reaming experiment combined with T / CSAE332-2023 is generally used to detect the risk of hydrogen-induced delayed cracking of hot forming steel.

[0006] However, in existing hole expansion experiments, most toolings are only suitable for GB / T24524-2021 flat sheet, the size of which is 100*100mm, and only very special hot-formed parts can take out such a large plane, which cannot be applied to most hot-formed parts, and the hydrogen-induced delayed cracking risk rate of the parts cannot be determined. For example, patent CN 206772711 U discloses a pressing device for hole expansion test of sheet forming test machine, which is a new device for pressing sheet during hole expansion test of sheet forming test machine. The pressing device comprises an upper screw, an upper pressing device, a concave clamping device, a convex clamping device, a lower pressing device and a lower screw. However, this device can only be used for hole expansion experiment of fixed size sheet, and cannot be used for hole expansion experiment of different hot-formed parts. Patent CN 116895347 A discloses a high-strength steel edge crack sensitivity evaluation method based on limit hole expansion. This method is still based on the size standard in GB / T24524-2021 metal material sheet and thin strip hole expansion test method, and cannot be applied to hole expansion experiment of most hot-formed parts.

[0007] At the same time, the existing hole expansion tooling is complex in design. If different hole expansion experiments of different hot-formed parts are to be met, different tooling lower molds need to be customized, which will cause high manufacturing cost and maintenance difficulty.
