    摘要: A heat treatment method of a component for a vehicle includes: heating an inner space of a heat treatment furnace in which a component for a vehicle is disposed in the inner space; stabilizing hydrogen (H2) by injecting the H2 into the inner space; and performing nitrification heat treatment for the component by injecting only ammonia (NH3) into the inner space after the stabilizing. The heat treatment method may adjust the degree of vacuum and the flow rate instead of a Kn without additionally injecting the H2 gas into an NH3 gas, thereby implementing the nitrification heat treatment of a quality similar to that of a conventional nitrification heat treatment for a short time.

    摘要: Disclosed is a high frequency heat treatment method of hot-stamping-treated ultra-high strength parts, which comprises: a first step of heating the parts until the temperature of a heat treatment zone thereof becomes the AC3 transformation point or higher; a second step of maintaining the temperature until phase transformation of the heat treatment zone to austenite is completed; and a third step of cooling the heat treatment zone to transform the structure thereof to ferrite-pearlite. The present method improves the energy absorbing efficiency by increasing the parts' elongation ratio by locally forming a softening structure which absorbs energy.
