Abstract

In this study, tailor-welded blanks(TWB) were formed between high-strength steel(SABC1470) and cold rolled steels(SPFH590 and SPFC980) to improve passenger safety and reduce the weight of cars. Multi-material TWB specimens were highly strengthened through the heat treatment of SABC1470. The change in tensile strength caused by the stand-by time until water cooling after stamping and the deformation behavior of high-speed bending in a statically indeterminate condition such as in the center-pillar were evaluated. Multi-material TWB specimens that were heat-treated at the same temperature tended to show a decrease in tensile and yield strength, depending on the stand-by time until water cooling. On the other hand, Multi-material TWB specimens(SABC1470+SPFH590) that were heat treated at $850^{\circ}C$ showed good properties that were suitable for ensuring passenger safety in car accidents. From the viewpoint of passenger safety, it is best to use SABC1470 and SPFH590 in the upper and lower area of the center-pillar, respectively.

본 연구에서는 승객의 안전성을 확보하기 위하여 상부 고강도강 SABC1470, 하부 냉간 압연강 SPFH590과 SPFC980으로 경량화를 위하여 레이저 TWB 용접하였다. TWB 이종재료 시험편은 열처리에 의하여 SABC1470 재료에 고강도화 하였다. 수냉까지 대기 시간에 따르는 인장강도와 센터필라와 같은 부정 조건에 의한 고속 굽힘의 변형 거동을 평가하였다. 동일 온도에서 열처리 된 TWB 시험편은 수냉까지 대기 시간에 따라서 인장강도와 굽힘강도가 감소하였다. $850^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 SABC1470 + SPFH590 TWB 시험편은 추돌에 의해 차체 파손시 파괴거동을 유도하여 승객을 보호할 수 있는 적절한 조건이었다. 사고에 의한 승객의 안전을 고려하면, 센터필라는 상부재로서 SABC1470, 하부재료로 SPFH590을 사용하는 것이 안전하다.
