Background technology
[0002]
In recent years, in order to protect the global environment by reducing CO 2 gas emissions, reducing the weight of automobile bodies has become an urgent issue in the automobile field. In order to solve this problem, studies to apply high-strength steel sheets are being actively made. The strength of steel sheets (plated steel sheets) is becoming higher and higher.
[0003]
BACKGROUND ART Hot pressing (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “hot stamp”) has been attracting attention as one of the techniques for molding automobile members. In hot stamping, a steel sheet is heated to a high temperature and press-formed in a temperature range of Ar 3 transformation temperature or higher. Further, in hot stamping, a press-formed steel sheet is rapidly cooled by heat removal by a mold, and a transformation is caused simultaneously with the forming under a press pressure. The hot stamping is a technique capable of producing a hot press molded product (hereinafter, also referred to as “hot stamped molded product”) having high strength and excellent shape fixability by the above steps.
[0004]
Further, in order to improve the yield and the functionality of press-formed parts for automobiles, a tailored blank in which at least two end faces of steel plates are butted and joined by laser welding, plasma welding or the like is applied as a press material. Has been done. In the tailored blank, since a plurality of steel plates are joined depending on the purpose, it is possible to freely change the plate thickness and strength within one component. As a result, by using the tailored blank, the functionality of the automobile member can be improved and the number of parts of the automobile member can be reduced. Further, by hot stamping the tailored blank, it is possible to manufacture a high-strength press-formed product in which the plate thickness, strength, etc. are freely changed.
[0005]
When an automobile member is formed by hot stamping using a tailored blank as a pressing material, the tailored blank is heated to a temperature range of 800° C. to 1000° C., for example. For this reason, a plated steel sheet plated with aluminum such as Al-Si having a high boiling point is often used for a tailored blank for hot stamping.
[0006]
Heretofore, as a steel plate for forming a tailored blank, for example, various steel plates for butt welding having a plating layer have been studied (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 5).
The steel plates for butt welding disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 5 are base metal plates, aluminum plating layers provided on both sides of the base metal plate, and metal-metal formed between the base metal plate and the aluminum plating layer. And a compound layer.
[0007]
In the steel plate for butt welding disclosed in Patent Document 1, the aluminum plating layer in a predetermined range is removed from the edge of the steel plate for butt welding, and the intermetallic compound layer in the predetermined range is left. Then, adjacent to the predetermined range, a first plated portion in which an intermetallic compound layer and an aluminum plated layer are provided on the base material steel plate is formed. Laser processing is used to remove the aluminum plating layer.
In the butt-welding steel plates disclosed in Patent Documents 2 and 4, the aluminum plating layer and the intermetallic compound layer within the predetermined range are removed by a brush or laser processing.
[0008]
In the butt-welding steel sheet disclosed in Patent Document 3, a flat notch surface is formed on the butt-welding steel sheet, so that the butt-welding steel sheet gradually progresses from the middle portion of the butt-welding steel sheet toward the edge of the butt-welding steel sheet. First, the thickness of the aluminum plating layer becomes thin, and subsequently, the thickness of the intermetallic compound layer becomes thin. As a result, the base steel plate is exposed to the outside at the edge of the butt-welding steel plate.
In the steel plate for butt welding disclosed in Patent Document 5, aluminum plating is performed so that the angle β formed by the normal line of the surface of the base steel plate and the end faces of the aluminum plating layer and the intermetallic compound layer is 0° to 80°. The layer and the intermetallic compound layer have been removed. The base steel plate is exposed to the outside at the edge of the butt-welding steel plate. Laser processing is used to remove the aluminum plating layer and the intermetallic compound layer.
[0009]
In this kind of butt-welding steel sheet, tailored blanks, steel pipes, etc. are manufactured by butt-welding the ends of the butt-welding steel sheet from which the predetermined range has been removed. The tailored blank is processed into a hot press molded product, a hollow quenching molded product and the like.
For example, paragraph [0062] of Patent Document 1 discloses that the welded blank is corrosion resistant after heat treatment.

Summary of the invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0011]
However, when a tailored blank is formed from a hot-dip aluminized steel sheet, a hard and brittle intermetallic compound layer exists in the plating layer, so that the intermetallic residue remaining at the boundary between the weld metal and the weld heat affected zone (stress concentration zone) It is affected by the compound layer. Therefore, in the hot press-formed product using the tailored blank, when the load is repeatedly applied, the fatigue strength of the welded metal portion decreases. Further, a large amount of Al in the hot-dip aluminized layer is dispersed in the weld metal portion, which causes a decrease in corrosion resistance, which becomes a problem.
On the other hand, in the butt-welding steel sheets of Patent Document 2 to Patent Document 5, the aluminum plating layer and the intermetallic compound layer in the welded portion to be welded are removed. For this reason, when a hot press-formed product manufactured from a butt-welding steel plate is painted, the adhesion of the paint on the surface of the weld metal part is reduced, and the post-coating corrosion resistance of the weld metal part is reduced.
[0012]
The subject of the present invention is a butt-welding steel plate, a tailored blank, a hot press-formed product, a steel pipe, and a hollow shape, which suppresses the decrease in fatigue strength while maintaining the corrosion resistance after coating of the weld metal portion formed during butt welding. The present invention provides a quench-formed product, a method for producing a steel plate for butt welding, a method for producing a tailored blank, a method for producing a hot press product, a method for producing a steel pipe, and a method for producing a hollow quench-formed product.

In addition, when the base material steel plate 12 is processed by hot press forming, the aluminum plating layer 14 has a scale (iron content) due to oxidation of the surface of the base material steel plate 12 even if the base material steel plate 12 is heated to a high temperature. Compound) is prevented. Further, the aluminum plating layer 14 has a higher boiling point and melting point than the plating coating of an organic material and the plating coating of another metal material (for example, a zinc material). Therefore, when the hot press molded product is molded by the hot press molding, the coating does not evaporate, and thus the effect of protecting the surface is high.
[0061]
The aluminum plating layer 14 can be alloyed with the iron (Fe) in the base steel plate 12 by heating during hot dipping and hot press forming. Therefore, the aluminum plating layer 14 is not necessarily formed as a single layer having a constant composition, and includes a partially alloyed layer (intermetallic compound layer).
[0062]
The
intermetallic compound layer 16 is a layer formed at the boundary between the base material steel plate 12 and the aluminum plating layer 14 when aluminum plating is provided on the base material steel plate 12.

Further, the thickness of the intermetallic compound layer 16 in the first plated portion 26 may be, for example, 10 μm or less in average thickness, and preferably 8 μm or less. The thickness of the intermetallic compound layer 16 represents the average thickness of the second plated portion 24.
The thickness of the intermetallic compound layer 16 can be controlled by the temperature and immersion time of the molten metal bath mainly containing aluminum.
[0064]
Here, the confirmation of the base material steel plate 12, the intermetallic compound layer 16, and the aluminum plating layer 14, and the measurement of the thicknesses of the intermetallic compound layer 16 and the aluminum plating layer 14 are performed by the following method.

Further, in the intermetallic compound layer 16 and the aluminum plating layer 14, the region where the iron (Fe) concentration exceeds 4 mass% is the intermetallic compound layer 16, and the region where the iron concentration is 4 mass% or less is the aluminum plating layer 14. To judge.
The distance from the boundary between the base steel plate 12 and the intermetallic compound layer 16 to the boundary between the intermetallic compound layer 16 and the aluminum plating layer 14 is the thickness of the intermetallic compound layer 16.

For example, when measuring the thickness of the second plated portion 24, in the longitudinal direction of the first exposed portion 22 (for example, the X direction in FIG. 1, hereinafter referred to as the second direction), the total length of the second plated portion 24 (hereinafter referred to as the total length). The thickness of the aluminum plating layer 14 at 5 positions obtained by equally dividing the above is determined, and the value obtained by averaging the obtained values is defined as the thickness of the aluminum plating layer 14. The thickness is measured at a position that is ½ of the width of the second plated portion in the cross-sectional view of the five places (hereinafter, the thickness is similarly measured). At this time, the thickness of the aluminum plating layer 14 is determined according to the above-described determination criteria. When the first exposed portion is extended on a curved line, the thickness may be obtained at a position where the entire length along the curved line is divided into five.
Similarly, when measuring the thickness of the intermetallic compound layer 16, the total length of the intermetallic compound layer 16 (the same applies to the following definition of the total length) is equally divided into five parts in the second direction. The thickness of the compound layer 16 is obtained, and the value obtained by averaging the obtained values is used as the thickness of the intermetallic compound layer 16.

The first exposed portion 22 is formed along the edge 100B of the first plated portion 26. That is, in the case where the second plated portion 24 is formed, the first exposed portion 22 is located at the end portion where welding is planned, from the edge of the boundary between the second plated portion 24 and the first exposed portion 22 to the first exposed portion 22. It is formed in the range up to the edge 100B of the 1 plated portion 26. Further, when the second plated portion 24 is not formed, the first exposed portion 22 is from the edge 100A of the steel plate 100 for butt welding to the edge 100B of the first plated portion 26 at the end where welding is planned. Is formed in the range of.
Here, referring to FIG. 3, when the second plated portion 24 is formed, the first exposed portion 22 is formed from the edge 100C of the boundary between the second plated portion 24 and the first exposed portion 22 to the first plated portion. It is formed in a range up to the edge 100B of 26. When the second plated portion 24 is not formed, the first exposed portion 22 is formed in the range from the edge 100A of the butt-welding steel plate 100 to the edge 100B of the first plated portion 26.
[0069]
The 1st exposed part 22 formed in both surfaces of the edge part of the butt-welding steel plate 100 should just be formed as follows. That is, the end of the butt-welding steel plate 100, which is scheduled to be welded, is butt-welded. After that, at the boundary between the weld metal portion (first weld metal portion) formed in the tailored blank (joint) and the butt welding steel plate 100, the aluminum plating layer 14 and the intermetallic compound layer 16 do not remain, The first exposed portion 22 is formed. In this state, the first exposed portion 22 is provided on both surfaces of the end portion of the butt-welding steel plate 100 along the edge of the first plated portion 26.
[0070]
The width of the first exposed portion 22 in the first direction F1 (the distance from the second plated portion 24 to the first plated portion 26 in the first direction F1; hereinafter, also simply referred to as the width of the first exposed portion 22) is on average. It is preferably 0.2 mm or more. The width of the first exposed portion 22 may be 5.0 mm or less on average. When the butt welding is laser welding, the width of the first exposed portion 22 is preferably 0.5 mm or more, and the width of the first exposed portion 22 is preferably 1.5 mm or less. When the butt welding is plasma welding, the width of the first exposed portion 22 is preferably 1.0 mm or more, and the width of the first exposed portion 22 is preferably 4.0 mm or less. By setting the width of the first exposed portion 22 to 0.2 mm or more and the width of the first exposed portion 22 to 4.6 mm or less (average), the fatigue strength of the tailored blank when a hot press-formed product is obtained. Is easily suppressed. For example, as for the width of the exposed portion, the width of the exposed portion is measured with a microscope from five sections k which are obtained by dividing the entire length of the exposed portion into five equal parts (hereinafter, the same method for measuring the width).
[0071]
Considering the mechanical strength of the tailored blank, the thickness of the base material steel plate 12 in the first exposed portion 22 is preferably in the range of 90% to 100% as the plate thickness ratio represented by the equation (11). When the plate thickness ratio is 90% or more, reduction in tensile strength when a tailored blank after butt welding is used to form a hot press-formed product is easily suppressed. Further, similarly, it is easy to suppress the decrease in fatigue strength. The more preferable lower limit of the plate thickness ratio is 92%, and further preferably 95%.
The thickness of the base material steel plate 12 at the first exposed portion 22 and the thickness of the base material steel plate 12 at the first plated portion 26 at the end portion of the butt welding steel plate 100 are average thicknesses. The plate thickness ratio is an average value.
Plate thickness ratio=(thickness of base material steel plate 12 at first exposed portion 22)/(thickness of base material steel plate 12 at first plated portion 26) (11)
[0072]
Here, as a method for measuring the plate thickness ratio from the tailored blank and the hot press-formed product, the following methods can be mentioned. The plate thickness ratio is measured, for example, in a tailored blank and a hot press-formed product, the first exposed portion 22 and the second plated portion 24 of the base material steel sheet 12 that is between the weld metal portion and the steel sheet 100 for butt welding. It can be measured by observing the base material steel plate 12 in.
[0073]
The thickness of the base material steel plate 12 at the first exposed portion 22 at the end of the butt welding steel plate 100 and the thickness of the base material steel plate 12 at the first plated portion 26 are obtained by cutting the butt welding steel plate 100 in the thickness direction, It can be determined by observing the cross section with an optical microscope.
Specifically, the thickness of the base material steel plate 12 at the first exposed portion 22 and the thickness of the base material steel plate 12 at the first plated portion 26 are respectively the second plating along the direction in which the first exposed portion 22 extends. The value obtained at five positions obtained by dividing the entire length of the portion 24 into five equal parts is taken as the average value.
[0074]

The second plating portion 24 is an end portion where the butt-welding steel plate 100 is scheduled to be welded, like the first exposed portion 22, and is the end where the first exposed portion 22 is provided. Formed on the part. And the 2nd plating part 24 is an edge side of the butt-welding steel plate 100 rather than the 1st exposed part 22 in at least one surface of the edge part located in the periphery of the butt-welding steel plate 100, and a butt-welding steel plate. It is preferably provided in a region including the edge 100A of 100. That is, it is preferable that the second plated portion 24 is provided along the edge 100A of the butt-welding steel plate 100 at the end portion where welding is planned.
[0075]
The second plated portion 24 formed on at least one surface of the end portion located around the butt welding steel plate 100 may be formed as follows. That is, the butt-welding steel plates 100 are welded in a state where the end faces of the butt-welding steel plates 100 having the first exposed portion 22 and the second plated portion 24 are butted. After that, the second plated portion 24 is formed so that the second plated portion 24 does not exist at the boundary between the weld metal portion formed on the tailored blank and the steel plate 100 for butt welding.
That is, the second plated portion 24 is formed in a region including the edge of the butt-welding steel plate 100 so as to be included in the weld metal portion after the butt welding. In this state, the second plated portion 24 is provided on at least one surface of the end portion of the butt-welding steel plate 100 along the edge of the butt-welding steel plate 100.
[0076]
In the first direction F1, it is preferable that (all of) the second plated portion 24 exist in a range from the edge 100A of the butt welding steel plate 100 to 0.5 mm. When the second plated portion 24 exists in this range, the second plated portion 24 is likely to be included in the weld metal portion after the butt welding. The second plated portion 24 is preferably present in the range from the edge 100A of the butt welding steel plate 100 to 0.4 mm, and is present in the range from the edge 100A of the butt welding steel plate 100 to 0.3 mm. Is more preferable.
When the butt welding is laser welding, the width of the second plated portion 24 in the first direction F1 (the distance from the edge 100A of the butt welding steel plate 100 to the first exposed portion 22 in the first direction F1. The width of the second plated portion 24) is preferably 0.1 mm to 0.25 mm. When used for plasma welding, the width of the second plated portion 24 is preferably 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm.
[0077]
Here, the width of the 1st exposed part 22 is the average value which measured the width of the 1st exposed part 22 at 5 places, and the width of the 2nd plating part 24 measured the width of the 2nd plating part 24 at 5 places. It is an average value. The measurement locations of the first exposed portion 22 and the second plated portion 24 are five positions that divide the entire length of the first exposed portion 22 into five equal parts in the direction in which the first exposed portion 22 extends.
The method of measuring the width of the first exposed portion 22 and the width of the second plated portion 24 is as follows.
A cross section in which the entire width of the first exposed portion 22 and the second plated portion 24 formed at the end of the butt welding steel plate 100 can be observed (for example, a cross section along the first direction F1 in a plan view of the butt welding steel plate 100). Five samples for measurement containing are collected. The measurement sample is taken from five positions where the length of the first exposed portion 22 formed in the direction along the edge 100A of the butt-welding steel plate 100 is divided into five equal parts. Next, cutting is performed so that the cross section of the butt-welding steel plate 100 is exposed. After that, the cut measurement sample is embedded in a resin, polished, and the cross section is enlarged with a microscope. Then, for one sample, the width of the first exposed portion 22, which is the distance from the second plated portion 24 to the first plated portion 26, is measured. Further, the distance between both edges of the second plated portion 24 is measured for each sample.
[0078]

The first plating portion 26 may have the same structure as the region other than the end portion of the butt-welding steel plate 100. For example, the thickness of the base material steel plate 12, the thickness of the intermetallic compound layer 16, and the thickness of the aluminum plating layer 14 in the first plating portion 26 may be the same as the respective thicknesses of the butt welding steel plate 100 other than the end portions. Good. However, at least a part of the thickness of the aluminum plating layer 14 in the first plating portion 26 may be larger than the thickness of the aluminum plating layer 14 at the end of the butt welding steel plate 100.
[0079]
Conventionally, a tailored blank is manufactured by butt-welding a plated steel sheet plated with a metal mainly containing aluminum by a welding method such as laser welding or plasma welding. A large amount of aluminum due to aluminum plating may be mixed into the weld metal portion of the butt welded portion of the tailored blank. When the tailored blank thus obtained was hot press-molded, the weld metal part was sometimes softened. For example, in the tailored blank after the hot press forming, as a result of a tensile strength test of a portion including a weld metal portion, an example in which breakage occurs in the weld metal portion is also reported.
[0080]
In order to avoid breakage of the weld metal portion, for example, in Patent Document 1, the aluminum plating layer of the welding planned portion to be welded is removed, and the butt-welding steel plate is continuously stretched from the edge to the region where the aluminum plating is formed. A steel plate for butt welding in which an intermetallic compound layer remains is disclosed. Further, Patent Document 1 discloses a tailored blank in which a planned welding portion of a butt-welding steel plate is butt-welded.
[0081]
Then, the aluminum plating layer is removed to obtain a butt-welding steel sheet in which the intermetallic compound layer is left, and the tail blank is manufactured by butt-welding in a state where the end faces of the region in which the intermetallic compound layer is left are abutted. In this case, the fatigue strength of the tailored blank decreases.
In the case of a butt-welding steel sheet in which an intermetallic compound layer is continuously left over from the area where the aluminum plating layer is formed to the planned welding part, between the hard and brittle metal between the weld metal part and the area where the aluminum plating layer is formed. The compound layer remains. In this case, it is affected by the intermetallic compound layer remaining at the boundary (stress concentration part) between the weld metal part and the weld heat affected part. As a result, when a tailored blank is formed from the steel plate for butt welding disclosed in Patent Document 1, and a hot press-formed product using the tailored blank is subjected to repeated loads, the fatigue strength of the joint decreases. Furthermore, in this tailored blank, since aluminum eluted from the intermetallic compound layer is contained in the portion of the weld metal portion near the edge of the region where the aluminum plating layer is formed, the weld metal portion of this portion softens. And the fatigue strength of the weld metal part decreases.
Therefore, the steel sheet for butt welding, which only removes the aluminum plating layer at the planned welding portion, has not been sufficiently applied to a portion where fatigue characteristics are important.
[0082]
Further, in Patent Document 2 to Patent Document 5, a tailored blank is obtained by butt-welding a steel plate for butt welding in which an aluminum plating layer and an intermetallic compound layer of a welded part to be welded are removed, and the welded part of the steel plate for butt welding is butt-welded. Is disclosed.
[0083]
However, with a tailored blank that was butt-welded with the intermetallic compound layer and the aluminum plating layer removed, and the end faces of the regions from which these layers were removed were butt-welded together, when applied to a hot press-formed product. , The corrosion resistance of the welded metal part after painting is reduced. When both layers of the intermetallic compound layer and the aluminum plating layer are removed from the welded portion, the amount of aluminum mixed in the welded metal portion is very small. Therefore, for example, in the butt-welding steel plates disclosed in Patent Documents 2 to 5, scale (a compound of iron) is likely to occur in the tailored blank. As a result, when a hot press-formed product formed by hot press-forming a tailored blank is applied, the adhesion of the paint on the surface of the weld metal part is reduced, and the post-coating corrosion resistance of the weld metal part is reduced.
[0084]
On the other hand, the butt-welding steel plate 100 of the present disclosure removes not only the aluminum plating layer 14 adjacent to the first plating portion 26 but also the intermetallic compound layer 16, and the base metal steel plate 12 is exposed first exposure. It has a section 22. Furthermore, the steel plate 100 for butt welding of this indication has the 2nd plating part 24 in which the intermetallic compound layer 16 and the aluminum plating layer 14 were provided.
That is, the steel plate 100 for butt welding of the present disclosure does not have the hard and brittle intermetallic compound layer 16 in the first exposed portion 22 where the base steel plate 12 is exposed. Further, in the butt-welding steel plate 100 of the present disclosure, the second plated portion 24 where the intermetallic compound layer 16 and the aluminum plating layer 14 remain is present in a region including the edge 100A of the butt-welding steel plate 100. ..
[0085]
Therefore, the tailored blank obtained by butt-welding the end faces of the butt-welding steel plate 100 having the first exposed portion 22 and the second plated portion 24 by using the butt-welding steel plate 100 of the present disclosure. Does not have the hard and brittle intermetallic compound layer 16 at the boundary between the weld metal portion and the weld heat affected zone. Aluminum of the intermetallic compound layer 16 and the aluminum plating layer 14 is not included in the portion of the weld metal portion near the edge of the first plating portion 26. Further, the second plated portion 24 is taken into the weld metal portion after butt welding (that is, the aluminum of the second plated portion 24 is mixed into the weld metal portion in an appropriate amount).
Therefore, even if this tailored blank is used as a hot press-formed product, it is considered that the decrease in the fatigue strength of the weld metal part is suppressed. Further, since the generation of scale is suppressed on the surface of the welded metal portion, the chemical conversion treatment property is improved and the adhesion of the paint is improved. Therefore, it is considered that the weld metal portion is excellent in corrosion resistance after coating even after being coated on the hot press-formed product.
Further, it is difficult for aluminum of the intermetallic compound layer 16 and the aluminum plating layer 14 to be contained in the portion of the weld metal portion near the edge 100B of the first plating portion 26. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the weld metal portion of this portion from softening and the fatigue strength of the weld metal portion from decreasing.
[0086]
The ratio of the width of the second plated portion 24 formed at the end portion where welding is planned is a value with respect to the total width of the second plated portion 24 and the width of the first exposed portion 22, The percentage of the width of the second plating portion 24/(the width of the second plating portion 24+the width of the first exposed portion 22) is preferably set in the range of 3% to 50%. When the width ratio of the second plated portion 24 is in this range, the fatigue strength is suppressed from being lowered, and excellent post-coating corrosion resistance is effectively obtained. On the other hand, the preferable upper limit of the width ratio of the second plated portion 24 is 40%, and the more preferable upper limit thereof is 30%.
[0087]
The width of the second plated portion 24 is preferably smaller than the width of the first exposed portion 22. According to this structure, the second plated portion 24 remains in a range less than half the distance between the edge of the butt-welding steel plate 100 and the first plated portion 26. Thereby, when the butt-welding steel plate 100 is laser-welded, it is possible to stably prevent the first weld metal part from coming into contact with the first plated part 26. Then, both the fatigue strength of the first weld metal portion and the corrosion resistance after painting can be enhanced. In an actual machine, the width of the first weld metal portion always varies, so it is preferable to configure in this way.
The second plated portion 24 is preferably formed over the entire length of the butt-welding steel plate 100. The second plated portion 24 is formed over at least the entire length of the area where welding is planned.
The first weld metal portion formed between the two butt-welding steel plates 100 is preferably separated from the edge 100B of the first plated portion 26. According to this structure, when the tailored blank is manufactured, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the fatigue strength of the first weld metal portion.
[0088]
In the butt-welding steel plate 100 of the present disclosure, the second plated portion 24 is formed in a region including the first exposed portion 22 of the base material steel plate 12 and the edge 100A of the butt-welding steel plate 100 at the end of the planned welding portion. To be done. The second plating part 24 also includes the following aspects as long as the reduction in the fatigue strength of the weld metal part is suppressed and the corrosion resistance after coating is maintained.
[0089]
For example, when punching a plated steel sheet to obtain a punched member, in an end portion located around the plated steel sheet, a region including the edge of the plated steel sheet may cause sagging due to a cutting device such as a shear. If the intermetallic compound layer and the aluminum plating layer are removed by cutting, grinding or the like on the edge of the plated steel sheet where the sagging has occurred, the intermetallic compound layer and the aluminum plating layer are removed in the portion where the sagging occurs. Layers may remain. The portion where the intermetallic compound layer and the aluminum plating layer remain is the second plating portion. At this time, it is preferable that the second plated portion includes an aluminum plated layer.
In addition, a butt-welding steel plate is manufactured by forming the second plating portion and the like on the plated steel plate.
[0090]
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional photograph showing an example of an end portion having the first exposed portion 22 and the second plated portion 24 of the base steel sheet 12 in the butt-welding steel sheet 100 of the present disclosure.
Referring to FIG. 4, sagging occurs in a region between the edge 100A of the butt-welding steel plate 100 and the edge 100C at the boundary between the first exposed portion 22 and the second plated portion 24. A second plated portion 24, on which the aluminum plating layer 14 and the intermetallic compound layer 16 remain, is formed on the base material steel plate 12 at the portion where the sagging has occurred. On the other hand, in the region from the edge 100B of the first plated portion 26 to the edge 100C at the boundary between the first exposed portion 22 and the second plated portion 24, the first exposed portion where the base steel plate 12 is exposed. 22 is formed.
[0091]
By mixing aluminum contained in the second plated portion 24 into the weld metal portion in an appropriate amount, the corrosion resistance of the weld metal portion after coating becomes excellent. For this reason, in the butt-welding steel plate 100 of the present disclosure, when sagging occurs, the aluminum plating layer 14 and the intermetallic compound layer 16 remaining in the sagging portion are not removed, and are used as the second plating portion. use. At this time, it is preferable that the second plating portion include the aluminum plating layer 14.
[0092]
As an example of a preferable method of forming the first exposed portion 22 and the second plated portion 24 on at least a part of both surfaces of the end portion located around the plated steel sheet (steel for butt welding), for example, the following method is used. Can be mentioned.
At least a part of the end portion located around the plated steel sheet, the intermetallic compound layer 16 and the aluminum plating layer 14 formed on both surfaces of the base steel sheet 12 are removed by cutting or grinding. Thereby, the intermetallic compound layer 16 is formed on the first exposed portion 22 where the base steel plate 12 is exposed and on at least one surface of the end portion located around the plated steel sheet, on the edge side of the plated steel sheet with respect to the first exposed portion 22. And a step of forming the second plated portion 24 on which the aluminum plating layer 14 remains (formation method A).
[0093]
The forming method A is, for example, a method of forming the first exposed portion 22 and the second plated portion 24 on the end portion of the plated steel sheet as follows. First, a plated steel sheet cut into a desired size is prepared as a steel sheet before forming a tailored blank. Next, the aluminum plating layer 14 and the intermetallic compound layer 16 formed on both sides of the base material steel sheet 12 are removed by cutting or grinding at least a part of both sides of the end of the plated steel sheet after cutting. .. At this time, the 1st exposed part 22 which the base material steel plate 12 exposes is formed in the edge part of a plated steel plate. At this time, the second plated portion 24 is further formed along the edge of the plated steel sheet on the edge of the plated steel sheet with respect to the first exposed portion 22 on at least one surface of the end portion located around the plated steel sheet.
[0094]
The method of removing the first exposed portion 22 by cutting is not particularly limited. For example, the cutting may be performed by machining with a cutting tool, an end mill, a metal saw, or the like. Grinding may be performed by machining with a grindstone, a grinder, a sander, or the like. Further, these methods may be combined to remove the intermetallic compound layer 16 and the aluminum plating layer 14 to form the first exposed portion 22.
[0095]
Another method is to remove the intermetallic compound layer 16 and the aluminum plating layer 14 by laser processing such as laser gouging. Further, these methods may be combined to remove the intermetallic compound layer 16 and the aluminum plating layer 14 to form the first exposed portion 22.
When the first exposed portion 22 is formed by laser processing such as laser gouging, heat is applied to the base material steel plate 12 in the portion where the first exposed portion 22 is formed, which is caused by water vapor in the atmosphere. Then, hydrogen may be mixed in. Further, after laser processing, the base material steel plate 12 in the portion where the first exposed portion 22 is formed is rapidly cooled, so that martensite occurs in the metal structure of the base material steel sheet 12 in this portion. This may cause delayed fracture at the end surface of the butt-welding steel plate 100 before welding.
[0096]
On the other hand, when the first exposed portion 22 is formed by machining, the temperature rise of the base material steel plate 12 in the portion where the first exposed portion 22 is formed is suppressed and martensite does not occur. Moreover, since hydrogen does not enter, the occurrence of delayed fracture is suppressed. In this respect, as a method for forming the first exposed portion 22, it is preferable to employ cutting by machining (cutting). Furthermore, when the first exposed portion 22 is formed by machining, there is no need to take measures for shielding the laser light when performing laser processing such as laser gouging, which is advantageous in terms of cost and the like.
[0097]
Further, when the first exposed portion 22 and the second plated portion 24 are formed by machining, for example, an end mill (a tip blade of the end mill, a side blade of the end mill), a metal saw, or the like may be used. Among the machining processes, the first exposed portion 22 and the second plated portion 24 are preferably formed by cutting with an end mill. That is, it is preferable to have a step of forming the first exposed portion 22 and the second plated portion 24 by cutting with an end mill. Cutting by an end mill is cutting by rotary motion. Therefore, in the first exposed portion 22 formed by the end mill, the cutting surface (the exposed surface of the base material steel plate 12 in the first exposed portion 22, the cross section at the boundary between the first exposed portion 22 and the first plated portion) is fine. There are cutting marks with irregular shapes.
[0098]
A first exposed portion 22 on at least a part of both surfaces of an end portion located around the butt welding steel plate 100 (plated steel plate), and a second plated portion on at least one surface of an end portion located around the butt welding steel plate 100. If 24 is formed, the order of forming the first exposed portion 22 and the second plated portion 24 at the end is not limited to the above-mentioned forming method A.
As an example of another preferable method of forming the first exposed portion 22 on both surfaces of the end portion located around the plated steel sheet and the second plated portion 24 on at least one surface of the end portion located around the plated steel sheet, for example, The following methods are available.
[0099]
The aluminum plating layer 14 and the intermetallic compound layer 16 formed on both surfaces of the base material steel plate 12 are removed by cutting or grinding in the regions of both surfaces other than the end portions of the plated steel sheet to expose the base material steel plate 12. The two first exposed portions 22 and the second intermetallic compound layer 16 and the aluminum plating layer 14 remaining so as to be sandwiched between the two first exposed portions 22 on at least one surface other than the end portion of the plated steel sheet. And a step of forming the plated portion 24, and cutting the plated steel sheet so that the second plated portion 24 has the region including the edge of the plated steel sheet, and at least one of both surfaces of the end portion of the plated steel sheet (steel for butt welding) Part, the base material steel plate 12 is exposed, and the intermetallic compound layer 16 and the aluminum plating layer are provided on at least one surface of the end of the plated steel plate, on the edge side of the plated steel plate with respect to the first exposed part 22. And a step of forming the second plated portion 24 on which 14 remains (formation method B).
[0100]
The forming method B is, for example, specifically the following method. First, punching is performed to prepare a plated steel sheet cut into a desired size. Next, with respect to the cut plated steel sheet, the aluminum plating layer 14 and the intermetallic compound layer 16 formed on the base material steel sheet 12 were removed by cutting or grinding to expose the base material steel sheet 12 The exposed portion 22 is formed. Two first exposed portions 22 are formed in a region other than the first plated portion 26 so as to extend in one direction, for example. In the region sandwiched by the two first exposed portions 22, the second plated portion 24 where the intermetallic compound layer 16 and the aluminum plated layer 14 remain is formed. Then, in the plated steel sheet after cutting, the second plated portion 24 sandwiched between the two first exposed portions 22 is cut so that the second plated portion 24 is along the edge of the plated steel sheet. The steel plate for butt welding obtained by cutting is a steel plate before forming a tailored blank.
