Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a method for producing a product from a rolled strip material with the steps: providing a substrate in form of a strip material from sheet steel; rolling of the substrate in the form of a strip material, electrolytic coating of the substrate with a first metal coating material, wherein the electrolytic coating is carried out after the rolling; applying a second coating material as scaling protection coating on the substrate coated with the first coating material; and hot-forming of the substrate, wherein the hot-forming is carried out after the application of the second coating material.
  • the present disclosure relates further to a product, produced according to the method and made from rolled strip material.
  • Hot-galvanizing is the coating of steel components with a massive metallic zinc coating by dipping the pre-processed steel components into a melt of liquid zinc.
  • electrolytic galvanizing the components (work pieces) are dipped into a zinc electrolyte. Electrodes of zinc act, because of their more ignoble metal compared to the work piece, as a “sacrificial anode”.
  • the work piece to be galvanised acts as a cathode, because of which the coating is also designated as cathodic corrosion protection.
  • the document AT 412 403 B relates to a method for producing a corrosion protected sheet steel and a sheet steel object, protected with a coating against corrosion, wherein according to the process it is provided to apply in a first step at least one electrolytically produced zinc layer and at least one layer consisting of aluminium on a sheet surface, after which the sheet steel is heated in a second step in a targeted manner and is cooled.
  • the corrosion protected sheet steel or an object formed therefrom has a surface layer with more than 0.1 percent of mass and has less than 5.0 percent of mass of aluminium, wherein the layer is formed from two intermetallic iron-zinc-aluminium phases.
  • a method for producing a product from flexible rolled strip material is known with the steps: providing a strip material from sheet steel; flexible rolling of the strip material, wherein a variable thickness is produced along the length of the strip material; electrolytic coating with a metallic coating material, which contains at least 93 mass percent of zinc, wherein the electrolytic coating is carried out after the flexible rolling; heat treating at temperatures larger than 350° C. and below a solidus line of the coating material, wherein the heat treatment is carried out after the electrolytic coating; and working a blank from the flexible rolled strip material; and cold- or hot-forming of the blank.
  • thermodiffusion treatment for example in an annealer, is carried out to enable a direct hot-forming. Otherwise, a too low iron content can lead to the effect of solder cracking during direct hot-forming. Furthermore, the iron rich intermetallic phases are brittle and tend at mechanical loading, for example by bending, to cracks, which can continue into the hardened material, so that a disadvantageous large bending angle results according to test specification VDA 238-100 of the material. A further disadvantage is that zinc has a lower vapour pressure and, thus, during thermodiffusion treatments, or a following heating in the course of the hot-forming, leads to a zinc loss. Especially the areas of the galvannealing coating, which is close to the surface and rich in iron, tend increasingly to an evaporation, which leads to an only small increase of the layer thickness after the hot-forming and to a high iron content in the layer.
  • Disclosed herein is a method for producing a product made from flexible rolled strip material, and a product made from flexible rolled strip material, in which a heat treatment before the hot-forming can be omitted for forming an alloy.
  • the method according to the present disclosure for producing a product from rolled strip material comprises the following steps:
  • electrolytic coating of the substrate with a first metal coating material wherein the electrolytic coating is carried out after the rolling;
  • the second coating material is provided as a compound with metallic components.
  • metallic components refer to components made from elements which belong to the metals and/or, as the case may be, to the semi-metals.
  • the metallic components can be present as pure materials or as an alloy.
  • the composition of the second coating material is selected such that the metallic components comprise predominantly elements, which are more ignoble than the sheet steel of the substrate to provide a cathodic corrosion protection. “Predominantly” in the context of the present disclosure shall be understood in particular such that a portion of more than 50 percent of mass of the total metallic components consists of elements which are more ignoble than the sheet steel of the substrate.
  • Said mass percentage may refer to the mass in the second coating material before being applied to the substrate and/or to the mass of the second coating after having been applied to the substrate.
  • the cathodic corrosion protection can be achieved in an advantageous manner with the method according to the present disclosure, as the addition of elements, which are more ignoble than the sheet steel of the substrate, is prevented in the first coating material and as, furthermore, no separate method step for heating between the step of coating and the step of hot-forming is necessary.
  • a further advantage of the coating produced by the method according to the present disclosure is, that in the course of the final hot-forming a reduction of the strength in the boundary area between the coating and the substrate is achieved, so that the boundary area has an increased ductility, as compared to the hardened substrate.
  • a step of decarburization can be omitted. In total the duration of the process for producing the product is shortened, which has an advantageous effect on the manufacturing costs.
  • a separate method step of heating the product between the coating and the hot-forming is may not be provided in the method according to the present disclosure.
  • substrate in the context of the present disclosure shall refer in particular to at least one of a steel strip, rectangular blanks and/or form cuts, which are worked from the rolled steel strip by means of cutting, for example mechanically or by laser cutting.
  • the step of working the blanks from the steel strip is preferably carried out after the second coating step and before the hot-forming step.
  • the step of producing the blanks, i. e. cutting can also be carried out after the rolling and before the first coating step, so that the step of coating is already carried out by way of batch processing of the blanks.
  • strip material for the rolling hot-strip or cold-strip can be used, wherein these terms shall be understood in the sense of common technical terminology.
  • Hot-strip is a rolling steel final product (steel strip), which is produced by means of rolling after previous heating.
  • a cold-strip refers to a cold rolled steel strip (flat strip), wherein the last thickness reduction is carried out by rolling without previous heating.
  • the rolling of the substrate can be carried out as flexible rolling, wherein a variable thickness is produced along a length of the strip material.
  • the disclosed method is particularly suitable for flexible rolled strip material in that also in the thin portions of the strip material a high ductility is achieved in the boundary area between the coating and the strip material, thus leading to a reduced risk of micro cracks.
  • Still further steps can be carried out between the above individual method steps.
  • a straightening of the strip can be provided.
  • the working of the blanks from the strip material can be carried out before or after the coating.
  • the term working blanks from the strip material shall cover all technical kinds of producing blanks from the strip material.
  • the term working shall include cutting or punching the sheet blanks from the strip material, i.e., such that an edge remains on the strip, which is not further processed, as well as, that a simple cutting to length of the strip material into partial pieces is carried out, especially by means of a cutting process.
  • a formation of an alloy takes place between the steel substrate and the coating, with the coating comprising the first electrolytically deposited coating material and the second coating material as a scaling protection layer.
  • Said formation of an alloy takes place in the course of the heating to a temperature above Ac1, i. e., the temperature at which the formation of austenite starts.
  • the formed alloy has a hardness which can be at least 50 HV (Vickers Pyramid Number) below the core hardness of the hardened steel substrate.
  • the coating has thus an increased ductility. Furthermore, micro cracks, which might be formed during the hot-forming on the surface, are prevented by the plastic deformation in the more ductile coating as well as of the adjacent alloy layer, which enables a local formation of strain.
  • metallic particles can be introduced into the scaling protection lacquer layer, which cannot electrolytically be deposited, like, for example, particles of the elements aluminium and/or manganese. Because of a diffusion barrier, for example by adding aluminium to the coating, it is achieved that, in contrast to a pure zinc-iron-alloy, a further enrichment with iron is prevented during the austenitization, whereby a reduction of the corrosion protection potential compared to a pure zinc coating after the hot-forming is prevented.
  • the composition of the second coating material is selected such that the metallic components have a proportion of metallic particles, wherein the proportion of metallic particles, in relation to the total metallic components of the second coating material, is especially at least five percent of mass and at the most 95 percent of mass.
  • the metallic particles contained in the second coating material, the scaling protection lacquer have a cathodic corrosion protection compared to the steel substrate.
  • the coating tends, during a heating to approximately 900° C. in the course of an austenitization, only to a small extent to an oxidation or evaporation. It is possible that the proportion of metallic particles has especially one or more of the carbide forming elements titanium, niobium and vanadium.
  • the proportion of metallic particles can comprise especially particles of one or more of the ferrite forming elements chromium, aluminium, titanium, tantalum, molybdenum, vanadium and silicon.
  • the metallic particles can also contain particles from a semi-metal, like in this case silicon, insofar as the corresponding characteristics of the semi-metal are present.
  • the metallic particles have preferably a grain size of at least 100 nanometers and at the most ten micrometers.

  • the hot-forming can be carried out as an indirect process with the following partial steps: cold pre-forming of the substrate; heating at least one partial area of the component, preformed from the substrate in a cold condition, to an austenitizing temperature; hot-forming of the component to produce a final outline.
  • the hot-forming can be carried out as a direct process with the following partial steps: heating at least a partial area of the substrate to an austenitizing temperature; and hot-forming of the substrate to produce a final outline.
  • blanks or form cuts are produced from the preferably flexible rolled strip material, which can be carried out for example by mechanically cutting or by laser cutting.
  • Blanks are to be understood as especially rectangular sheet boards, which are separated from the strip material.
  • Form cuts are to be understood as sheet elements worked from the strip material, which outer profile is already adapted to the shape of the final product.
  • the term “blank” is used uniformly for rectangular blanks as well as form cuts.
  • Hot-forming means forming processes, in which the work pieces are heated to a temperature in the region of hot-forming before the forming takes place.
  • the heating is carried out in a suitable heating device, for example a furnace.

  • the austenitizing temperature shall refer to a temperature range, in which at least a partial austenitization takes place, i.e., wherein a microstructure in the two phase region ferrite and austenite is present. Furthermore, it is also possible to only austenitize partial areas of the blank, to enable for example a partial hardening.
  • the hot-forming can also be carried out according to the second possibility as a direct process, which is characterised in that at least partial areas of the blank are directly heated to the austenitizing temperature and then are hot-formed to the required final profile in one step. A previous (cold) pre-forming does not take place in this case. Also during the direct process, a partial hardening can be achieved by austenitizing partial areas.
  • a hardening of partial areas of the component is also possible by means of differently tempered tools, or by using several tool materials, which enable different cooling velocities.
  • the whole blank or the whole component can be completely austenitized before the hot-forming process.
  • a ductile alloy layer is produced in a boundary area of the substrate, said ductile alloy layer being produced from elements of the substrate, of the first coating material and of the second coating material, wherein the ductile alloy layer has an increased ductility compared to the substrate.
  • an outer alloy layer can be produced in a boundary area between the first coating material and the second coating material, said outer alloy layer being produced from elements of the first coating material and of the second coating material.
  • the ductile alloy layer is produced from elements of the substrate and of the outer alloy layer.

  • FIGS. 2 and 3 To differentiate the material of the layers before and after the hot-forming, markings have been drawn in FIGS. 2 and 3 , wherein crosses schematically symbolize the second coating material 15 , circles schematically symbolize the electrolytic coating material 1 and a blank, i.e., no marking, schematically symbolizes the strip material 2 , 20 .
  • an alloy formation is achieved on the respective boundary faces of the layers.
  • Metallic components of the scaling protection lacquer 15 for example aluminium, merge with the electrolytic coating 1 , for example from zinc, to an alloy 18 .
  • This alloy 18 forms together with the steel substrate 2 , 20 a further alloy 17 . After the hardening, said further alloy 17 has a lower hardness than the hardened steel substrate 2 , 20 .
  • Typical layer thicknesses before step V 6 are, for the scaling protection lacquer 15 two to twenty micrometers, for the electrolytic zinc-coating 1 , two to ten micrometers.
  • the layer thickness after the hardening in step V 6 can amount to four to thirty micrometers for the alloy layer 18 that comprises the electrolytic zinc coating 1 and the scaling protection lacquer 15 .
  • the layer thickness for the ductile alloy layer 17 that is made from the scaling protection lacquer 15 , the electrolytic zinc coating 1 and the steel substrate 2 , 20 , can amount to two to fifty micrometers.
