The invention relates to the field of metallurgical materials, also belongs to the field of advanced high-strength steel for cars and particularly provides
hot stamping bake
toughening steel based on a carbon partitioning principle and a
processing method thereof. The
hot stamping bake
toughening steel comprises the following chemical components in percentage by
mass: 0.2-0.5% of C, 0.25-1.5% of Mn, 0.2-0.6% of Cr, 0.2-1.0% of Mo, 0.1-0.8% of Ni, 0.2-1.2% of Si, 0.2-0.5% of Al, 0.002-0.004% of B, 0.02-0.03% of Ti, 0.5-1.5% of Cu, less than 0.01% of S and less than 0.01% of P. The
processing method comprises the following steps: heating a steel plate until complete austenitizing, then immediately transferring onto a
hot stamping apparatus,
stamping, performing intra-mold pressure-maintained
quenching, demolding, and cooling in air to
room temperature, wherein the structure is
martensite+unstable residual
austenite; and performing baking treatment in a car body baking temperature range, and ensuring that carbon partitioning is performed to stabilize the residual
austenite, thus finally obtaining a multiphase structure of the stable
martensite and residual
austenite, wherein the comprehensive property is consistent with that of traditional Q&P steel. According to the invention, on the basis of keeping the advantages of the Q&P steel, the disadvantages of the Q&P steel such as need of an independent isothermal partitioning apparatus and requirement for high transfer speed are overcome.
