Galvanized press hardened steel (PHS) is in serial production more than 15 years. Zinc provides excellent cathodic corrosion protection for PHS parts, but can cause Liquid Metal Embrittlement (LME) and micro cracks. One can dispose of this LME risk by using the indirect hot forming process and avoiding tensile stress at high temperatures. To eliminate LME for the direct hot forming process...

Seok-Hyun Hong (Graduate Institute of Ferrous Technology, POSTECH, Pohang 37673, S. Korea)23/06/2021, 14:20Press Hardening of Zn-Based CoatingsOral Presentation22MnB5 press hardening steel is widely applied for automobile parts due to its reduced spring back effect after forming. In press hardening process, 22MnB5 steels are deformed by the press at high temperature and simultaneously quenched to obtain fully martensitic microstructure after the austenitization process. However, during the press hardening of Zn-coated 22MnB5 steels, the presence of...Go to contribution page

Prof. Thomas Antretter (Montanuniversitaet Leoben / Institute of Mechanics)23/06/2021, 14:40Press Hardening of Coated SteelsOral Presentation
Zinc coatings offer the advantage of a galvanic corrosion protection instead of a conventional barrier corrosion protection. Thus zinc coatings prevent the corrosion of the steel substrate even in the case of a damaged coating layer. It is therefore of interest to use zinc coatings in the automobile industry particularly for components of the body in white. These components are often produced...

Dr Joseph McDermid23/06/2021, 15:00Press Hardening of Zn-Based CoatingsOral Presentation
Zn-coated press hardened steels are in high demand in the automotive industry because their high strength enhances passenger safety while supplying robust cathodic corrosion protection. However, micro-crack formation after thermomechanical processing is an issue that limits full deployment. Thereby, the objective of this research was to determine the mechanism for micro-cracking in Zn-coated...

Neil Gao (Teck Metals Ltd.), Weiping Sun (Nucor Corporation)23/06/2021, 15:20Press Hardening of Zn-Based CoatingsOral PresentationAs galvanized or galvannealed coatings (GI or GA) are often challenged by excessive zinc evaporation and liquid metal embrittlement (LME), aluminized coatings have become dominant for press hardenable steels (PHS). However, compared to aluminized coatings, galvanized coatings are more cost effective. Galvanized coatings not only provide cathodic protection to the steel substrate; they are...Go to contribution page
