Abstract

Boron steel sheet is suitable for fabricating automobile parts because it is very strong and has low weight. Recently, many car makers are investigating the feasibility of fabricating the chassis part of automobiles using boron steel. In order to use boron steel sheets to fabricate the chassis part of automobiles, much better material property of low cycle fatigue life as well as high formability during hot stamping is required. Therefore, the low-cycle fatigue life of hot-stamped quenched boron steel was investigated in this study. The fatigue life observed at low strain amplitude was longer than that of an as-received boron steel sheet. However, the fatigue life reduced at high strain amplitude because of the low ductility and low fracture toughness of martensite, which was produced as a result of hot stamping.

열간성형된 보론강판은 고강도특성이 필요한 자동차 부품에 널리 적용되고 있으며, 최근에는 샤시 부품에도 점차로 적용되고 있다. 샤시 부품으로 적용되기 위해서 고강도 특성뿐만 아니라 내피로특성이 동시에 요구되고 있어, 본 연구에서 열간성형된 보론강판의 저주기 피로특성을 연구하였다. 저주기 피로시험결과, 총변형률 진폭이 낮은 영역에서는 열간성형된 보론강의 피로수명이 현저히 높았지만, 높은 총변형률 진폭에서는 열간성형된 보론강의 마르텐사이트 조직특성인 낮은 연성과 파괴인성으로 인해서 보론강 원소재의 피로수명이 더 높음을 확인할 수 있었다.
