Description

Stainless steel bonding plate for automobile door molding and manufacturing method thereof

[0001] The present invention relates to a stainless steel bonding plate for automobile door molding and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a stainless steel bonding plate for automobile door molding having excellent corrosion resistance and processability by bonding stainless steels having different properties, and a method for manufacturing the same.

[0002]

[0003] Typically, stainless steel car door moldings are manufactured by slitting stainless steel material to specifications, forming, bending, and pressing it into door frames, door belts, and quarter glasses.

[0004] These finishing materials are intended to utilize the unique properties of the material, and as they are directly exposed to people's eyes, they have a great influence not only on durability but also on corrosion resistance, gloss, and the aesthetic appeal of the color.

[0005] Additionally, recently, for automobile door moldings, products with a mirror-finished stainless steel surface, semi-gloss products with an embossed finish, and color products with various coating processes are being applied.

[0006] Stainless steel has various series depending on the manufacturing process, but here, austenitic series with high chromium and nickel content and non-magnetic (hereinafter referred to as 300 series stainless steel) and ferritic series with high chromium content and magnetism (hereinafter referred to as 400 series stainless steel) are mainly used.

[0007] Specifically, 300 series stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and workability, but has the problem of having to go through a separate mirror process to achieve a surface gloss, and has the inconvenience of not being able to utilize magnetism when bonding door frames, door belts, PVC, TPC, etc., which are post-processing, or when injecting quarter glass inserts.

[0008] 400 series stainless steel can be used to obtain a desired gloss by adding a skin pass process, and it has the advantage of being magnetic, which is advantageous in post-processing. However, it has low tensile strength and elongation, making it vulnerable to processing shock, and has the problem of cracks occurring during forming or bending.

[0009] Furthermore, 400-series stainless steel has poor corrosion resistance, leading to problems such as surface discoloration. Therefore, a method to address these issues is needed.

[0010]

[0011] The present invention is an invention devised to solve the problems of the above-described prior art, and has the purpose of providing a stainless steel bonded plate for automobile door molding, which secures corrosion resistance and processability while having magnetism to increase productivity during post-processing by bonding 300 series stainless steel, which has relatively high tensile strength and elongation, as a surface material to the upper surface of a base material made of a preset 400 series stainless steel, thereby taking advantage of both the advantages of 300 series and 400 series stainless steel.

[0012] The tasks of the present invention are not limited to the tasks mentioned above, and other tasks not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below.

[0013]

[0014] To achieve the above-described purpose, the stainless steel bonding plate for automobile door molding of the present invention comprises a surface material made of a 300 series stainless steel plate manufactured to a preset thickness, a base material made of a 400 series stainless steel plate having magnetism and attached to the back surface of the surface material in a flat shape, and an adhesive layer positioned between the surface material and the base material to bond them to each other, wherein the surface material has a characteristic of having a relatively greater elongation than the base layer.

[0015] In addition, the surface material expands when forming or bending the base material inward, and can maintain the surface condition without damage such as cracking.

[0016] Additionally, the surface material may be made of austenitic stainless steel, and the base material may be made of ferritic stainless steel.

[0017] In addition, the adhesive may be characterized in that it is applied to at least one surface of the base material or the surface material or is attached in the form of a film.

[0018] In addition, the surface material may be made of a material having an elongation of approximately 50% or more and being relatively more resistant to processing impact than the base material.

[0019] Additionally, the surface material may be characterized by having its gloss and color adjusted through a separate surface treatment.

[0020] In addition, the surface material may be made of any one of the steel grades STS304, STS304L, STS304J1, STS316, or STS316L, and the base material may be made of any one of the steel grades STS409, STS411, STS430, STS436, or STS441.

[0021] Additionally, the thickness of the surface material may be formed to be 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm, and the thickness of the base material may be formed to be 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm.

[0022] Meanwhile, the method for manufacturing a bonding plate of the present invention for solving the above-described problem includes a step (a) of manufacturing a base material with a 400 series stainless steel plate, a step (b) of preparing a surface material with a 300 series stainless steel plate, a step (c) of forming an adhesive layer by applying an adhesive to either the back surface of the surface material or the upper surface of the base material, a step (d) of positioning the adhesive layer between the surface material and the base material and bonding them together to manufacture a bonding plate, and a step (e) of processing the bonding plate into a preset shape.

[0023] In addition, the bonding plate joined in the step (d) may be characterized by having a bonding force of 200 N or more.

[0024] In addition, the step (b) may be characterized by performing at least one of a gloss control process for controlling the gloss of the surface material and a coloring color control process for controlling the color of the surface material.

[0025] In addition, the surface material may be characterized in that the gloss control process or the coloring process is performed in a rolled state.

[0026]

[0027] The stainless steel bonding plate for automobile door molding of the present invention and the manufacturing method thereof for solving the above-mentioned problem are as follows:

[0028] By manufacturing a bonded plate by bonding a base material made of a magnetic 400 series stainless steel plate and a surface material made of a non-magnetic 300 series stainless steel plate, cracks are prevented from occurring on the processed surface during forming, bending, and press processing of automobile door molding due to the high tensile strength and elongation of the surface material, and at the same time, the manufacturing process of the molding can be easily performed through the magnetic base material.

[0029] The effects of the present invention are not limited to the effects mentioned above, and other effects not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description of the claims.

[0049] The sheet metal for automobile door molding is composed of a single stainless steel sheet of 0.4 to 0.7T that can be processed into a desired shape by surface treatment, and is mainly made of 400 series stainless steel, which is usually made of ferritic steel.

[0050] Automotive door molding sheets made from 400-series stainless steel offer the advantage of increased gloss through a separate skin-pass process after cold rolling. However, their low tensile strength and elongation can lead to micro-cracks on the machined surface during the forming and bending processes required for automotive door molding manufacturing, making them susceptible to harsh bending. Furthermore, their low corrosion resistance can lead to numerous issues, including surface discoloration.

[0051] Therefore, in order to solve these problems, the bonding plate for automobile door molding according to the present invention can produce a bonding plate that utilizes the advantages of two types of steel by bonding stainless steel plates having different characteristics.

[0052] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0053] FIG. 1 is a drawing showing the structure of a stainless steel bonding plate (100) for an automobile door molding according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a drawing showing a state in which a surface material (110) and a base material (120) of a stainless steel bonding plate (100) for an automobile door molding according to one embodiment of the present invention are bonded using an adhesive.

[0054] As illustrated, a stainless steel bonding plate (100) for an automobile door molding according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a surface material (110), a base material (120), and an adhesive layer (130).

[0055] The surface material (110) is formed to have a preset thickness and area, and is made of a non-magnetic stainless steel plate. Specifically, the surface material (110) is made of 300 series stainless steel, which is an austenitic material, and has an elongation above a certain level and is a material with relatively stronger corrosion resistance than the base material (120) described below.

[0056] And the base material (120) is attached to the back surface of the surface material (110) and is made of a stainless steel plate material that has magnetism and has relatively lower corrosion resistance and elongation than the surface material (110).

[0057] Specifically, the base material (120) is made of 400 series stainless steel, which is a ferrite type and has magnetism, unlike the surface material (110), and is formed relatively thicker than the surface material (110).

[0058] That is, the surface material (110) is bonded to the base material (120) to form a thin surface, thereby forming a stainless steel bonding plate (100) for automobile door molding.

[0059] Meanwhile, the adhesive layer (130) is positioned between the surface material (110) and the base material (120), and serves to adhere the base material (120) to the surface material (110).

[0060] In this embodiment, the adhesive layer (130) can be directly applied to one surface of either the base material (120) or the surface material (110) or attached in the form of a film to mutually adhere to each other, and the base material (120) and the surface material (110) can be stably bonded by pressure and heat in a laminated state.

[0061] Typically, when bonding a surface material (110) with a conventional adhesive, peeling occurs after a certain period of time, and thus, there is a problem in that it is difficult to maintain stable bonding.

[0062] However, in the present invention, the adhesive layer (130) can suppress problems such as peeling during forming or bending by using an adhesive having a bonding strength of 200 N or more in a peel test, and it is preferable to produce it so as to maintain a bonding strength of 300 N or more so as to withstand even harsher processing such as reverse bending.

[0063] The overall process of bonding the surface material (110) and the base material (120) by the adhesive layer (130) will be described later.

[0064] The stainless steel bonding plate (100) for automobile door molding according to the present invention, which is configured as described above, is further processed to change its shape in a bonded state as described above, and can be stably processed by bending the surface material to form an outer surface.

[0065] In particular, in the stainless steel joint plate (100) for automobile door molding according to the present invention, the surface material (110) has a characteristic of having a relatively greater elongation than the base material (120), and when bent in a direction toward the inside of the base material (120), it expands together and can maintain the surface state without being damaged.

[0066] The bonding plate of the present invention configured in this manner is formed in a state in which the base material (120) and the surface material (110) are bonded together, unlike the plate made of a single material of 400 series stainless steel, which is a form mainly used in the past, and thus can have both the characteristics of 300 series stainless steel and 400 series stainless steel.

[0067] In particular, the bonding plate (100) according to the present invention is configured such that the base material (120) is made of a 400 series stainless steel plate, thereby maintaining the characteristics of a single 400 series stainless steel plate used in the past, while the surface material (110) is made of a 300 series stainless steel plate, thereby having relatively high elongation, tensile strength, and yield strength.

[0068] That is, the present invention is configured to have both the characteristics of 300 series stainless steel and the characteristics of 400 series stainless steel.

[0069] As described above, the bonded plate according to the present invention is not simply made of one type of plate, but is formed by bonding a 300 series stainless steel plate and a 400 series stainless steel plate to form a single plate, so that it has a relatively low processing cost compared to the 400 series stainless steel plate for automobiles that has undergone several skin pass processes in the past, and at the same time, it has the advantage of being able to be stably processed due to high elongation, tensile strength, and yield strength when processed into a desired shape, and of excellent corrosion resistance.

[0070] Next, with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, the characteristics of each of the 300 series stainless steel plate and the 400 series stainless steel plate according to the present invention will be independently examined.

[0071] FIG. 3 is a drawing showing a state in which a 300 series stainless steel plate is bent in a stainless steel joining plate (100) for an automobile door molding according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a drawing showing a state in which a 400 series stainless steel plate is bent in a stainless steel joining plate (100) for an automobile door molding according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0072] First, looking at Figure 3, a 300 series stainless steel plate is banded, and corresponds to the surface material (110) in the present invention.

[0073] The above surface material (110) has an elongation of approximately 50% and has a relatively higher elongation and tensile strength than the base material (120) and is resistant to processing shock. In particular, 300 series stainless steel has strong corrosion resistance and is relatively resistant to damage or corrosion from the outside, making it a suitable material for exterior use.

[0074] Accordingly, as shown in the figure, in the case of the 300 stainless steel plate, even if it is processed with zero bending and bent in a completely folded form, it expands at the corresponding position and maintains the surface condition, and no damage occurs.

[0075] The above surface material (110) is preferably made of one of the steel grades STS304, STS304L, or STS316L, and in this embodiment, STS304L, which is relatively inexpensive and contains Ti (titanium), is used.

[0076] In addition, the surface material (110) may be formed to have a thickness of 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm. This is to have a thinner thickness than the base material (120) described later, to minimize the weight of the stainless steel bonding plate (100) for automobile door molding according to the present invention, and to position the surface material (110) at a location where deformation occurs a lot during subsequent processing.

[0077] Additionally, a hairline may be processed on the surface of the surface material (110), or various surface finishing treatments such as vibration, beadblast, and embossing may be performed.

[0078] In this way, in the case of the surface material (110) illustrated in FIG. 3, it is relatively easy to process due to the characteristics of the material, and the surface can be processed later.

[0079] Meanwhile, looking at Figure 4, a 400 series stainless steel plate is in a banded state, and corresponds to the base material (120) in the present invention.

[0080] The above base material (120) is attached to the back surface of the surface material (110) and has a relatively low elongation of about 20 to 30% compared to the surface material (110) and is weak against processing shock, but is magnetic and can be manufactured at low cost. In particular, in the case of 400 series stainless steel, the elongation is low, so it is advantageous to form a framework internally rather than being arranged on the surface.

[0081] However, in the case of 400 series stainless steel plates, since they are magnetic materials, they have the advantage of being advantageous for positioning using magnetism during additional processing, and they have the advantage of having a certain level of strength, but they have the disadvantage of having to perform an additional skin pass process to perform polishing due to their low gloss.

[0082] In the case of the above-mentioned base material (120), when the deformation exceeds a certain level, breakage occurs due to low elongation, and in particular, when processing with zero bending as shown and bending in a completely folded form, cracks occur on the surface.

[0083] The above base material (120) is preferably made of any one of STS409, STS430, STS436, or STS441, and in this embodiment, STS409 is used.

[0084] In addition, the thickness of the base material (120) may be formed to be 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm. This is to have a thicker thickness than the surface material (110), and to maintain a certain level of rigidity while positioning the surface material (110) in a position where deformation occurs a lot during processing of the stainless steel bonding plate material (100) for bonded automobile door molding.

[0085] In this way, the 300 series stainless steel plate and the 400 series stainless steel plate each have different characteristics, and by bonding them as the surface material (110) and the base material (120), the bonded plate (100) of the present invention is formed.

[0086] In this embodiment, as described above, the surface material (110) may be made of STS304L, and the base material (120) may be made of STS409. These may be selected by considering the yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation based on the table derived through the Posco Mill Test Certificate as shown in Table 1 below.

[0088] Based on the above-described Table 1, the surface material (110) and the base material (120) according to the present invention may be made of stainless steel having different thicknesses and properties.

[0089] Next, referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the stainless steel bonding plate (100) for automobile door molding according to the present invention, in which the base material (120) and the surface material (110) are bonded, will be examined as follows.

[0090] FIG. 5 is a drawing showing the difference between a product made of a stainless steel joint plate for automobile door molding according to an embodiment of the present invention and a product made of a conventional 400 series stainless steel single plate by bending them, and FIG. 6 is a drawing showing a detailed state of deformation during bending of a stainless steel joint plate (100) for automobile door molding according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0091] Looking at the drawing shown, the stainless steel joint plate (100) for automobile door molding is a photograph of a single plate made of a 400 series stainless steel plate and a joint plate according to the present invention, each of which is bent. In the case of a single plate, cracks occur on the surface when the bending exceeds a certain level.

[0092] Specifically, Fig. 5 (a) is a photograph of stainless steel for automobile door molding made of 400 series stainless steel plate banded, and when deformation exceeding the elongation occurs, cracks or breakage occur on the surface.

[0093] At this time, the 400 series stainless steel plate is magnetic and has a hardness above a certain level, so it is suitable as a material for positioning or maintaining a shape during processing, but there is a problem that processing is difficult due to low elongation during additional processing.

[0094] In addition, in the case of automobile door moldings that are usually made only of 400-series stainless steel plates, STS430J1L is mainly used, and although the cost itself is cheaper than 300-series stainless steel plates, in order to actually use it as automobile door moldings, the skin pass process to adjust the gloss of the surface must be performed 3 to 5 times additionally, which causes the actual cost to increase significantly.

[0095] In contrast, as shown in (b) of FIG. 5, when the stainless steel bonding plate (100) for automobile door molding according to the present invention is made of a surface material (110) and a base material (120) as bonding plates, it has all of the material properties of each.

[0096] In particular, when the base material (120) is bent inward, the surface material (110) expands and can maintain its surface condition without being damaged.

[0097] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the surface material (110) is bonded to the upper portion of the base material (120), and the base material (120) is formed relatively thick, so that the center line of the bonding plate is positioned on the base material (120).

[0098] And, the distance d at which the surface material (110) is positioned from the center line is controlled by the difference in thickness between the surface material (110) and the base material (120), and the surface material (110) is positioned at a position where relatively large expansion occurs.

[0099] That is, since the surface material (110) is positioned on the surface at a distance d apart from the center line of the bonding plate material, even if a relatively large amount of expansion occurs, it can be deformed by a high elongation and maintain the surface state.

[0100] In this way, the stainless steel joint plate (100) for automobile door molding according to the present invention is relatively easier to process than a single plate made only of the 400 series stainless steel plate, and can have excellent corrosion resistance due to the characteristics of the 300 series stainless steel plate.

[0101] In particular, the stainless steel bonding plate (100) for automobile door molding according to the present invention is processed into a desired shape through an additional process in a state in which it is manufactured as a bonding plate.

[0102] The stainless steel joint plate (100) for automobile door molding according to the present invention can be used for automobile molding during an additional process, and various methods can be used when manufacturing automobile molding, such as the door belt method or the door frame method.

[0103] In this method, a stainless steel bonding plate (100) for automobile door molding is roll-formed, and a separate thermoplastic plastic (polyvinyl chloride, PVC) or thermoplastic elastomer (thermoplastic elastomer, TPE) is bonded through high-frequency induction heating, and then processes such as shearing, banding, and notching are performed.

[0104] In addition, a method of processing using the insert injection method of Quarter Glass is used. This is a method of inserting a stainless steel bonding plate (100) for automobile door molding processed by pressing into a mold and then injecting thermoplastic plastic (PVC) to bond them, and a magnet is embedded inside the mold to fix the position of the stainless steel bonding plate (100) for automobile door molding.

[0105] Accordingly, when manufacturing vehicle moldings using the above method, it is relatively easy to manufacture using a magnetic material, but there is a problem that the 400 series stainless steel, which is magnetic, has relatively poorer processability than the 300 series stainless steel.

[0106] However, by manufacturing the stainless steel bonding plate (100) for automobile door molding of the present invention by bonding the surface material (110) of the 300 series and the base material (120) of the 400 series as in the present invention, the metal finishing material has a certain level of magnetism and can be fixed in position by a magnet during additional processing.

[0107] In addition, when banding or press processing exceeds a certain level, a surface material (110) with a relatively high elongation is positioned on the outside to prevent cracks from occurring on the surface.

[0108] That is, the present invention is a bonded plate (100) in which a base material (120) made of a magnetic 400 series stainless steel plate and a surface material (110) made of a non-magnetic 300 series stainless steel plate are bonded, and when manufacturing an automobile door molding, the surface material (110) has a high elongation rate, thereby preventing the occurrence of surface cracks, and at the same time, the molding processing process can be easily performed through the base material (120) having magnetism.

[0109] Next, referring to FIG. 7, it can be seen that the bonding plate according to the present invention has an adhesive strength higher than a preset level.

[0110] Figure 7 is a drawing showing the results of an adhesive strength test of a bonding plate according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0111] The bonding plate (100) according to the present invention is configured to be bonded by including a separate adhesive layer (130) between the surface material (110) and the base material (120), but can have durability comparable to that of a single 400 series stainless steel plate by maintaining a bonding strength of a certain level or higher.

[0112] Specifically, looking at the drawing illustrated in Fig. 7, it can be confirmed that the peak load value of the measured value exceeds 200 [N] as a result of the bonding strength test (Peel Test) of the bonding plate material of the present invention.

[0113] This shows that even if the base material (120) and the surface material (110) of the present invention are formed in the form of a bonding plate (100) joined by the adhesive layer (130), it has a strength similar to that of a plate made of a single material, and accordingly, it can be seen that there is no problem with the durability of the bonding plate.

[0114] As described above, the bonding plate according to the present invention has been examined, and this bonding plate has superior processability compared to the single plate material used in the past, and can stably maintain durability due to high elongation and tensile strength.

[0115] Additionally, in the case of the sheet metal used for automobile door molding, an additional gloss control process and a coloring process for controlling color may be performed, and in these processes, the bonded sheet metal according to the present invention can be performed relatively cheaply and quickly compared to the 400 series stainless steel sheet metal that is commonly used.

[0116] First, looking at the gloss control process, in the case of the 400 series stainless steel single plate material used in the past, the skin pass process must be additionally performed based on STS430J1L to obtain the desired gloss.

[0117] In particular, for 400 series stainless steel, although there is a skin pass process in the production process, a high-gloss surface can be obtained by performing an additional 3 to 5 processes.

[0118] In contrast, in the case of the bonding plate (100) of the present invention, the surface material (110) itself is made of STS304, a 300 series thin plate stainless steel, and can be made glossy through a simple heat treatment process after rolling. Of course, an additional polishing process can be performed if desired, but a certain level of gloss can be achieved through simple heat treatment alone.

[0119] That is, a bonding plate (100) using 300 series stainless steel as a surface material (110) and 400 series stainless steel as a base material (120) as in the present invention can have a gloss level of a certain level or higher even without performing a separate polishing process.

[0120] Next, the differences between the bonding plate (100) of the present invention and the existing 400 series single plate in terms of the coloring process will be examined.

[0121] At this time, the color is implemented by depositing titanium ions or chromium ions according to the color during the coloring process of the surface material (110), and the surface material (110) uses a 300 series stainless steel plate.

[0122] For example, if the color of the surface material (110) is gold, it is deposited using nitrogen gas and titanium in a closed space, black uses carbon gas and chromium, and bronze color uses a mixed gas of carbon and nitrogen and titanium to realize the color.

[0123] In this way, the stainless steel joint plate (100) for automobile door molding of the present invention can have its color implemented through a separate coloring process on the surface material (110).

[0124] In general, the coloring process is carried out using the physical vapor deposition (PVD) method, which involves placing the plate in a closed space and depositing the material, or the nano ceramic coating (NCC) method.

[0125] When the coloring process is performed using the vacuum deposition method, the object is placed inside a vacuum chamber of a preset size, a high vacuum state is created, and then coloring is performed through the deposition process.

[0126] At this time, in the present invention, when loading a plate into a vacuum chamber, a relatively large amount of plate can be colored compared to its volume by winding it into a coil shape and loading it.

[0127] Here, in the case of the present invention, rather than loading the entire bonding plate material, only the surface material (110) is wound and injected, thereby allowing a length of up to 2000 m (based on 0.15 t) or more to be colored at once.

[0128] In contrast, in the case of a single plate of 400 series stainless steel, there is a problem in that it is difficult to roll and load it due to the thickness of the plate itself, and even if rolled, the overall length itself is short, so coloring can only be performed for a relatively short length compared to the method of coloring only the surface material (110) as in the present invention.

[0129] This means that the exhaust time for vacuuming the inside of the vacuum chamber during the vacuum deposition process is substantially the same, and accordingly, a difference in the length that can be colored during the same time occurs, and relatively, a method of coloring only the surface material (110) can proceed in greater quantities than a method of coloring the entire bonding plate.

[0130] Meanwhile, when the coloring process is performed using a nano-ceramic coating method, the surface material (110) is colored relatively thinner than when coloring a single 400 series stainless steel plate, so energy consumption is reduced and production speed is increased accordingly.

[0131] That is, the surface material (110) to be colored and the 400 series stainless steel single plate material are fundamentally different in thickness, and accordingly, a difference in productivity occurs in the coloring process.

[0132] In addition, since coating using a slot die is possible when only the surface material (110) is coated, high-quality coating can be performed with a productivity more than four times higher than the currently used spray coating.

[0133] The geometric structure and physical properties of the stainless steel bonding plate (100) for automobile door molding according to one embodiment of the present invention have been described above, and the process for manufacturing the stainless steel bonding plate (100) for automobile door molding as described above will be described below.

[0134] FIG. 8 is a drawing sequentially showing the entire manufacturing process of a stainless steel bonding plate (100) for automobile door molding according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 9 is a drawing showing a detailed process of manufacturing a surface material (110) in the manufacturing process of FIG. 8, and FIG. 10 is a drawing briefly showing an apparatus for manufacturing the stainless steel bonding plate (100) for automobile door molding of FIG. 9.

[0135] Looking at the overall manufacturing process of the stainless steel joint plate (100) for automobile door molding according to the present invention, first, step (a) of manufacturing a base material (120) using a 400 series stainless steel plate, which is a ferrite type, is performed.

[0136] The above base material (120) is manufactured in the form of a flat plate of a preset thickness using a 400 series stainless steel plate. Here, the base material (120) has a thickness of 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm and is manufactured in an extruded state and wound by a separate roller.

[0137] That is, the base material (120) is manufactured in the form of a flat plate with a preset thickness as described above and wound along the longitudinal direction.

[0138] And, the base material (120) is transported along a preset transport path by a separate transport roller (12) in a wound state as illustrated in Fig. 10. At this time, the transport roller heats the base material (120) to a temperature above a certain level so that it can be stably bonded by the adhesive layer (130) when bonded to the surface material (110) later.

[0139] Next, step (b) of preparing a surface material (110) using a 300 series stainless steel plate, which is an austenitic series, is performed.

[0140] The above surface material (110) is made of a plate having a certain thickness, similar to the above base material (120), but unlike the above base material (120), it is made of a 300 series stainless steel plate.

[0141] Specifically, the surface material (110) is formed to have a thickness of 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm, has an elongation of about 50%, and may be made of any one of the steel grades STS304, STS304L, STS304J1, STS316, or STS316L.

[0142] In this embodiment, the surface material (110) is manufactured in the form of a thin sheet, similar to the base material (120), and stored in a rolled state. Thereafter, the rolled portion is recoiled and transported so that it can be bonded to the base material (120).

[0143] Afterwards, step (c) of forming an adhesive layer (130) to adhere the surface material (110) and the base material (120) is performed.

[0144] In the above step (c), the adhesive layer (130) is formed between the surface material (110) and the base material (120) and is configured to be mutually adhered, so it is formed by being applied to at least one of the back surface of the surface material (110) or the upper surface of the base material (120).

[0145] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the adhesive layer (130) is formed by applying it to the lower surface of the surface material (110) and then drying it.

[0146] Here, the adhesive layer (130) is formed in a form in which it is applied to the lower surface via a separate application facility (11) provided on the transport path of the surface material (110), and is then transported and bonded to the base material (110). At this time, the surface material (110) may pass through a separate drying furnace (13) provided on the transport path, and may be transported while undergoing an additional drying process in which the adhesive layer (130) is applied.

[0147] After step (c) of forming the adhesive layer (130) on the upper surface of the base material (120), step (d) of bonding the base material (120) and the adhesive layer (130) is performed.

[0148] The above step (d) positions the adhesive layer (130) between the surface material (110) and the base material (120) and bonds them together to manufacture a bonding plate (100).

[0149] Specifically, in the above step (d), as illustrated in FIG. 10, the base material (120) and the surface material (110) are mutually bonded and transported through a separate bonding roller (14) provided downstream of the transport roller (12) on the transport path.

[0150] At this time, the surface material (110) is transported independently from the base material (120), and is transported so as to be connected and combined on the transport path of the base material (120) at a downstream portion according to the transport direction.

[0151] In this embodiment, the surface material (110) is independently transported after the adhesive layer (130) is formed on the lower surface and is laminated on top of the backing material (120).

[0152] That is, the surface material (110) and the base material (120) are transported by a plurality of rollers while being wound in a roll type as described above, and a portion of the transport path is integrated and laminated. Then, the surface material (110) is laminated on top of the base material (120), and transport and bonding are performed simultaneously via the bonding roller (14).

[0153] Here, the above-mentioned bonding roller (14) can be heated to a certain temperature, and heating and pressurization can be performed simultaneously when bonding the base material (120) and the surface material (110).

[0154] In this way, the base material (120) and the surface material (110) are transferred to the bonding plate (100) in a laminated state via the bonding roller (14) and are pressurized via the pressure roller (16) to be bonded to each other.

[0155] Afterwards, the base material (120) and the surface material (110) are bonded together via the pressure roller (16) and are transported in a completely bonded state via a separate cooling zone (18), and are recoiled and received again.

[0156] Next, step (e) of processing the bonding plate material to which the base material (120) and the surface material (110) are bonded into a preset shape is performed.

[0157] The above step (e) is a process of cutting the above-mentioned joint material according to its intended use, and slitting is performed according to the preset size and specifications.

[0158] The bonding plate (100) according to the present invention is used for automobile door molding, and can be used by cutting it into a shape and specification suitable for its size.

[0159] In particular, after the bonding plate (100) according to the present invention is slit into an automobile door molding, various methods are used during actual molding processing, and the door belt method, the door frame method, or the insert injection method of quarter glass can be used.

[0160] In this method, a stainless steel bonding plate (100) for automobile door molding is bonded to a separate thermoplastic plastic (polyvinyl chloride, PVC) or thermoplastic elastomer (thermoplastic elastomer, TPE) using high-frequency induction heating, and then processes such as shearing, banding, and notching are performed, and after press processing, a process such as insert injection is performed using a mold.

[0161] Accordingly, when manufacturing a vehicle molding using the above method, even if the surface material (110) is deformed, the surface can be maintained in a stable state, and at the same time, the position can be stably fixed during molding processing through the magnetic properties of the base material (120).

[0162] The stainless steel bonding plate (100) for automobile door molding of the present invention manufactured according to the above process can exhibit the characteristics of excellent durability, elongation, and tensile strength, which are characteristics of 300 series stainless steel materials, as well as magnetism, which is a characteristic of 400 series stainless steel materials, and relatively low production cost, as the surface material (110) having a preset area and the base material (120) attached to the back surface of the surface material (110) are bonded to each other.

[0163] Additionally, the step (b) according to the present invention may perform at least one of a gloss control process for controlling the gloss of the surface material (110) and a coloring process for controlling the color of the surface material (110).

[0164] Referring to FIG. 9, the gloss control process can adjust the gloss by performing a mirror processing on the surface through an additional process in advance during the processing of the surface material (110) or by a process such as bead blasting, and in this embodiment, the gloss is processed to have a gloss of about 200 to 300 at a 60 degree angle.

[0165] Specifically, the gloss control process for the surface material (110) is as follows.

[0166] First, a process (b-1) is performed to prepare a 300-series stainless steel plate. Then, a heat treatment process is performed on the stainless steel plate. At this time, a selection process is performed to determine the gloss level of the stainless steel plate (b-2).

[0167] In particular, the gloss level of the surface material (110) is selected to be general gloss, semi-gloss, or to adjust the gloss level itself to some extent, and the subsequent process is performed.

[0168] Here, the surface material (100) can generally have a gloss level higher than a certain level with only simple heat treatment in the case of a 300 series stainless steel plate, and if a high gloss level is required depending on the situation, a mirror process is performed (B-3).

[0169] That is, when the surface material (100) is manufactured to a glossy finish, heat treatment and an additional mirror process are performed.

[0170] In contrast, if the surface material (110) needs to be surface-treated to a semi-gloss finish, an additional bead blasting process or a process using an amboroll is additionally performed (b-4).

[0171] In this way, in the present invention, the surface material (110) undergoes the gloss adjustment process before bonding with the base material (120), and can be adjusted to gloss or semi-gloss during the gloss adjustment process.

[0172] For example, in the present invention, if the surface material (110) has a glossy finish, it is made of STS304 or STS316 with a thickness of 0.1 to 0.2 t and a separate mirror treatment is applied to one side. In addition, the base material (120) is made of STS409, 411, 430, etc. with a thickness of 0.3 to 0.6 t and no separate surface treatment process is performed.

[0173] In addition, in the present invention, when the surface material (110) is to have a semi-gloss, the surface is treated through a pressing process using an additional embossing roll and a bead blasting process to have the desired gloss.

[0174] In this way, in the present invention, the surface material (110) can undergo a gloss control process to have a desired level of gloss.

[0175] Afterwards, the gloss control process is performed and the surface material (110) is manufactured to be glossy or semi-glossy, and then the coloring process is performed (b-5).

[0176] Specifically, the above coloring process is a process of coloring the surface material (110) using at least one inorganic material, and in the present invention, it is performed through vacuum deposition using the PVD (Physical vapor deposition) method.

[0177] At this time, the color is implemented by depositing titanium ions or chromium ions according to the color during the coloring process of the surface material (110), and at this time, a 300 series stainless steel plate is used as the surface material (110).

[0178] For example, if the color of the surface material (110) is gold, it is deposited using nitrogen gas and titanium in a closed space, black uses carbon gas and chromium, and bronze color uses a mixed gas of carbon and nitrogen and titanium to realize the color.

[0179] Next, the surface material (110) on which the coloring process has been performed can undergo additional nanoceramic wet coating (b-6).

[0180] By performing the above nanoceramic wet coating, the surface of the surface material can be prevented from becoming contaminated, and it can greatly help maintain the durability and gloss of the surface.

[0181] In this way, the stainless steel joint plate (100) for automobile door molding of the present invention can have its color implemented through a separate coloring process on the surface material (110).

[0182] As described above, preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms, in addition to the embodiments described above, without departing from the spirit or scope thereof. Therefore, the above-described embodiments should be considered illustrative rather than restrictive, and accordingly, the present invention is not limited to the above description, but may be modified within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
