Tiago Machado (ArcelorMittal)22/06/2021, 10:40Press Hardening of Coated SteelsOral PresentationThe Press Hardened Steels (PHS) offer unique weight saving opportunities to the automotive market, allowing to reach extremely high mechanical properties (until 2000 MPa) on complex parts with a well-controlled geometry. Since 2001, pre-coated PHS are available. AlSi coated PHS are the mostly used worldwide with more than 75% of the hot stamping lines in the world dedicated to them. This...Go to contribution page

Friedrich Luther (Salzgitter Mannesmann Forschung GmbH)22/06/2021, 11:00Press Hardening of Coated SteelsOral PresentationWhen heating steel blanks with different sheet thicknesses within prior to a hot press forming process, local heating rates may differ significantly. Therefore, the process window for heating the blanks is narrow, especially when aluminium-silicon (AlSi) coated material is used. The thicker part of the blank determines the minimum furnace dwell time for alloying of the coating to achieve...Go to contribution page

Ernst Dietmar Schachinger (voestalpine Stahl GmbH)22/06/2021, 11:20Press Hardening of Zn-Based CoatingsOral PresentationFor galvanized press hardening steels, a low and homogeneous surface resistance is important to ensure good welding behavior for body in white assembly. Surface resistance and oxide composition was studied for steel grade 20MnB8 with different coatings (GI vs. GA) and different annealing times. The results were also compared to standard steel grade 22MnB5 coated with GI. Oxide composition was...Go to contribution page

Insights into the structure of surface oxides on Zn-coated press-hardened steel (PHS) are indispensable for further processing like welding or adhesive bonding. The main oxide on top of galvanized steel is Al2O3 from the primary galvanizing process. This oxide is strongly altered during final austenitization annealing before hot-forming respectively press-hardening, depending on the annealing...
