Specification

Technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a hot stamping molded article and a manufacturing method thereof.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Conventionally, in view of global environmental issues and collision safety performance, thinner and higher strength of automobile structural parts are required. To meet these demands, automotive structural parts and materials of high strength steel sheet has increased. Further, as a forming method of the high strength steel sheet, there is known a method called hot stamping. The hot stamp, and pressed at C content is high temperature range of not lower than 700 ° C. The steel plate of about 0.20 wt% to 0.22 wt%, perform quenching in a press-mold or press die out. According to hot stamping, for performing the molding in a high temperature range in which the strength of the steel sheet is reduced, it is possible to suppress molding defects such as occurs in cold pressing. Also, since the tissue to the martensite as a main phase by quenching after molding can be obtained, it is possible to obtain a high strength. Therefore, tensile strength hot stamping of about 1500MPa are used worldwide extensively.
[0003]However, the present inventors have conducted research for further strengthening, a hot stamp molded product having a tensile strength of at least 1900 MPa, it was revealed that there is the low stress fracture occurs. When hot stamping molded low stress fracture occurs is used structural parts for automobiles, there is a possibility that the part even when an impact that was calculated to withstand the design stage are destroyed. Thus, inhibition of the low stress fracture is critical to ensuring collision safety of automobile structural parts. So far, the low stress fracture of maraging steel is known, low-stress destruction of the hot stamping body is not known.

Summary of the Invention
Problems that the Invention is to Solve
[0006]
 The present invention aims at providing a hot stamping molded article and a manufacturing method thereof which can suppress the low stress fracture with high strength.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0007] The present inventors have conducted studies to elucidate the cause of low stress fracture occurs in hot stamping molded article having a tensile strength of at least 1900 MPa.
[0008] The following describes an indicator for low stress fracture in the present application. In the present application, using a tensile test specimen conforming to JIS Z 2201, when subjected to a tensile test under the conditions conforming to JIS Z 2241, a low stress fracture results in a material that occurs before the break is satisfied the following formula 1 It called the material, that the material of low stress fracture does not occur and the resulting material after the formula 1 is satisfied. In Formula 1, sigma represents a true stress, epsilon true strain.
  dσ / dε = σ ··· (Equation 1)
[0009]
 Equation 1 is the load maximum condition derived from the constant volume law during deformation. Usually, tensile immediately after the start of the study dσ / dε is greater than sigma, sigma increases with dσ / dε decreases As the deformation progresses. Then, the material low stress fracture does not occur, the load is maximized at the moment of dσ / dε is equal to the sigma, since thereafter occurs constriction tensile specimens, the load is reduced. On the other hand, in the material low stress fracture occurs before the constriction tensile test piece occurs, i.e. dσ / dε is breaking with a larger stage σ occurs.
[0010]
 The present inventors have found that, when the study was first to investigate the relationship between the organization and the low stress fracture of hot stamping body. As a result, as the old γ grains are fine and the higher coarse carbides is small, it was found that low stress fracture hardly occurs.
[0011] However, in the conventional hot stamp, to achieve both a reduction in the old γ grain refinement and coarse carbide is difficult, it is impossible to sufficiently improve the fracture characteristics by suppressing low stress fracture. In other words, the refinement of the prior γ grain, but lowering of the heating temperature and heating time of the hot stamping is preferred, reduction of the heating temperature and the heating time leads to a reduction in the amount of dissolution of carbides during heating, coarse carbides remain It becomes easier. Conversely, the reduction of the coarse carbides, an increase of the heating temperature and heating time of the hot stamping is preferred, an increase of the heating temperature and heating time leads to coarsening of the old γ grains.
[0012] Accordingly, the present inventors have, to achieve both a reduction in the old γ grain refinement and coarse carbides hot stamping molded article was examined for an improved organization of the steel sheet subjected to hot stamping. As a result, in order to suppress residual coarse carbides, the fresh martensite and tempered martensite and the main phase, it is preferable to reduce the easy ferrite and pearlite containing coarse carbides, and, during the heating of the hot stamp to obtain a fine gamma, to keep finely dispersing the carbide serving as the reverse transformation of nucleation sites in the steel sheet to gamma it is preferable revealed. The steel sheet having such a structure by hot stamping, excellent hot stamping body very fracture characteristics. However, such steel plate has the following problems.
[0013] Main phase hardness of the steel sheet of the fresh martensite and tempered martensite, the hardness after hot stamping, that is, hardness and comparable hot stamping molding. Since tensile strength Vickers hardness of the hot-stamping of 1900 MPa is about 550 Hv, if the tensile strength is to be obtained more hot stamping member 1900 MPa, the Vickers hardness of the steel sheet becomes more than about 550 Hv. When producing the hot stamping material, when forming the blank by blanking by shear cutting or stamping or the like steel plate before hot stamping, blanking or more steel Vickers hardness 550Hv is extremely difficult.
[0014]
 Therefore, the present inventors have conducted further extensive studies. As a result, the present inventors have found that performing at least two hardened under a predetermined condition after blanking, have a new tissue, they found that the hot stamping molded article can be obtained with excellent fracture properties and, based on such findings, and conceived to aspects of the invention described below.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0025]
 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
[0026]
 It will be described first steel structure of the hot stamping member according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hot stamping molded body according to the present embodiment, the area fraction of fresh martensite and tempered martensite: total 80% or more, prior austenite grain size: 20 [mu] m or less, an average particle size of the carbide: 0.5 [mu] m or less, in the table and a steel structure to be. Hot stamping body is a molded body obtained through a hot stamp.
[0027]
 (Area fraction of fresh martensite and tempered martensite: 80% or more in total)
 fresh martensite and tempered martensite which contributes to the improvement of strength. Fresh martensite and sufficient strength area fraction is less than 80% in total of tempered martensite, e.g. 1900MPa or more tensile strength can not be obtained. Therefore, the area fraction of fresh martensite and tempered martensite is 80% or more in total. Although the mechanical properties of the material is dependent on the volume fraction of the tissue or phases, if isotropic is the steel structure, the volume fraction is equivalent to the area fraction. The area fraction can be measured more easily than the volume fraction. Therefore, in the present application, using the area fraction.
[0028]
 (Prior austenite grain size (formerly γ grain size): 20 [mu] m or less)
 the old γ grain size is the average grain size of old γ grains. In the old γ particle size of 20μm greater, it can not be obtained sufficient fracture toughness, easy to low-stress destruction occurs. Therefore, the old γ grain size is 20μm or less. From the viewpoint of improving the fracture toughness and low stress fracture suppression, the old γ grain size is preferably not 15μm or less, more preferably 10μm or less.
[0029]
 (Average particle size of the carbide: 0.5 [mu] m or less)
 the average particle diameter of 0.5 [mu] m greater than the carbide, low stress cracking is likely to occur that starting from the coarse carbides. Therefore, the average particle size of the carbide is 0.5μm or less. From the viewpoint of suppression of the low stress fracture, the average particle size of the carbide is preferably 0.3μm or less. The carbides include iron-based carbide and carbonitrides such as cementite and ε carbides.
[0030]
 Typical steel structure, for example, include ferrite, pearlite, upper bainite, lower bainite, residual austenite, the fresh martensite or tempered martensite, or any combination thereof. Here, an example of how to measure the area fraction of these tissues or phases.
[0031]
 Ferrite, pearlite, upper bainite, the measurement of the area fraction of lower bainite and tempered martensite, a sample is taken as an observation plane section parallel to the parallel and the thickness direction to the rolling direction of a steel plate. Then, by polishing the observation surface, and nital etching, electrolytic emission at 5000 × magnification range of the thickness from the surface of the steel sheet when the t from the depth of t / 8 to a depth of 3t / 8 of the steel sheet scanning electron microscope observation at (field emission scanning electron microscope FE-SEM). By this method, it is possible to identify ferrite, pearlite, upper bainite, lower bainite and tempered martensite. Such observation performed on 10 fields, ferrite from the average value of 10 fields, pearlite, upper bainite, the area fraction of lower bainite and tempered martensite is obtained. As described later, upper bainite, lower bainite and tempered martensite can be distinguished from each other by the presence or absence and the extension direction of the iron-based carbides within lath-like grains.
[0032]
 Upper bainite is a set of lath-like grains, including carbides between lath. Lower bainite is a set of lath-like grains, diameter therein contains more iron-based carbides 5 nm. Iron-based carbide contained in the lower bainite has a single variant, iron-based carbides present in one of the crystal grains is substantially elongated in a single direction. The term "substantially single direction", angular difference means directions within 5 °. Tempered martensite is a set of lath-like grains, diameter therein contains more iron-based carbides 5 nm. However, unlike lower bainite, iron-base carbide contained in the tempered martensite has a plurality of variants, iron-based carbides present in one of the crystal grains are extended in multiple directions. Accordingly, tempering the martensite and lower bainite can be a direction that the iron-based carbide is extended it is determined depending on whether multiple or single.
[0033]
 In the measurement of the area fraction of retained austenite, a sample was taken from the steel sheet, a portion to a depth of t / 4 from the surface of the steel sheet was chemically polished, the depth from the parallel surface of the steel sheet in the rolling surface of the t / 4 measuring the X-ray diffraction intensity in a plane. For example, the area fraction Sγ of residual austenite is expressed by the following equation.
 S [gamma] = (I 200f + I 220f + I 311f ) / (I 200b + I 211b ) ×
100 (I 200f , I 220f , I 311f are respectively face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice phase (200), (220), (311 intensity of the diffraction peaks of), I 200b , I 211b has a body-centered cubic lattice, respectively (bcc) phase (200), indicating the intensity of the diffraction peak of (211).)
[0034]
 Fresh martensite and retained austenite, because they are not sufficiently corrosion by nital etching, can be distinguished ferrite, pearlite, upper bainite, the lower bainite and tempered martensite. Therefore, it is possible to identify the area fraction of fresh martensite by reducing the area fraction Sγ of residual austenite an area fraction of the remainder of the FE-SEM observation.
[0035]
 Ferrite is a grain bulk, does not include the infrastructure of the lath or the like therein. Perlite is a tissue ferrite and cementite becomes layered alternately. For example, ferrite layered in pearlite distinguish from ferrite of the bulk.
[0036]
 The particle size of the carbide refers to a circle-equivalent diameter determined from the area of ​​the measured the carbide in the observation plane of the specimen. Density and composition of carbides, for example, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy: transmission electron microscope equipped with analysis function by (energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry EDX) (transmission electron microscope: TEM) or three-dimensional atom probe electrolyte ion microscope can be measured using a (atom probe field ion microscope AP-FIM).
