Abstract:
A welding structure of a press-formed part according to the present invention is a welding structure of a press formed part made by combining and joining two parts formed by press-forming and each having an opening portion on at least one side of a cross-section, while the opening portions face each other. A step portion 7 is provided by forming a bent projection 5 projecting outwardly on a tip end portion of a side wall portion 3a of a lower side part 3, partially or entirely on a joining surface. A tip end side of the step portion 7 is fitted into the opening portion of an upper side part 9, and the step portion 7 of the lower side part 3 and the tip end of a side wall portion 9a of the upper side part 9 are linearly joined by arc welding.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a hot press formed part, includes: preparing a hot press forming object comprising a single-ply portion and a two-ply portion by welding first and second coated steel sheets together in partially overlapping relationship, each of the first and second coated steel sheets having a Zn-Ni coating layer formed on a surface thereof; heating the hot press forming object to a temperature range from an Ac 3 transformation temperature of a base steel sheet of the first coated steel sheet to 1000 °C; press forming the hot press forming object to obtain a formed body, the press forming being started upon temperatures of the single-ply portion and of the two-ply portion being no higher than solidification points of the Zn-Ni coating layers of the first and second coated steel sheets and no lower than an Ar 3 transformation temperature of the base steel sheet of the first coated steel sheet; and quenching the formed body, while squeezing the formed body by a tool of press forming and holding at its press bottom dead center, to thereby obtain a hot press formed part, in which the hot press forming object has a thickness ratio from 1.4 to 5.0.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for forming a steel sheet having a tensile strength of 440 MPa or more into a press-formed part including a flange portion and other portions by press forming. The method includes: heating the steel sheet to a temperature range of 400 °C to 700 °C; and then press-forming the heated steel sheet by using crash forming to obtain a press-formed part, in such a way that an average temperature difference among a flange portion and other portions of the press-formed part immediately after the formation is kept within 100 °C. In this way, geometric changes such as springback that occur in a panel can be suppressed, the dimensional accuracy of the panel can be enhanced accordingly, and the desired mechanical properties can easily be obtained in the press-formed part.
Abstract:
A method of sheet forming according to the present invention includes a first sheet forming process that sheet-forms a metal sheet 11 into a first sheet-formed part 27 having an intermediate shape with a first sheet forming tool 1 and a second sheet forming process that sheet-forms the first sheet-formed part 27 into a second sheet-formed part having a product shape. The first sheet-formed part 27 has a side-wall stretching portion 29 formed on a side wall portion 23 on an outer side including an L-shaped bent portion and a top-portion stretching portion 31 formed on the outside of a top portion 21 of the L-shaped bent portion. A curvature radius of the side-wall stretching portion 29 is larger than the curvature radius of the L-shaped bent portion of a sheet-formed part 19, and the curvature radius of a shoulder portion contiguously formed with the top-portion stretching portion 31 is larger than the curvature radius of a shoulder portion contiguously formed with the outside of the top portion 21 of the L-shaped bent portion of the sheet-formed part 19.
Abstract:
A method of evaluating a hot stamped part manufactured by hot stamping a coated steel sheet having a Zn-Ni coating layer on a surface of a base steel sheet includes an analysis model setting step, a forming condition setting step, a forming analysis step, and an evaluation step which are performed using a computer, wherein in the evaluation step, a maximum micro-crack depth in the hot stamped part manufactured under a forming condition set in the forming condition setting step is evaluated using a correlation, obtained beforehand, between an equivalent plastic strain in a surface layer of the hot stamped part and the maximum micro-crack depth in the hot stamped part.
