Abstract

Because of its ultra-high strength, press hardening steel and hot stamped parts are widely used in the reinforcement and lightweight structure of car bodies. At present, there are hydrogen embrittlement barriers in PHS1500~PHS2000 materials with coating and PHS1800~PHS2000 materials without coating. In this paper, based on the conventional thickness coating PHS1500 without niobium and the thin thickness coating PHS1500 with niobium, the corresponding automobile hot stamped front crash beam parts are trial produced. The trial production process is completed under the dew point control condition of -20 ℃. Samples were taken from hot stamped parts made of two materials. Firstly, based on the automotive industry standard T/CSAE 155-2020, a U-shaped constant bending load test was carried out to compare the hydrogen embrittlement resistance of parts made of two materials. The results show that under the same external load conditions, the fracture time of the sample of thin coating containing niobium with austenitizing time of 220 s is higher than that of the sample of conventional coating without niobium with austenitizing time of 300 s. Further, TDS and slow strain rate tensile tests were carried out on the samples of the two materials. The results show that the thin coating containing niobium has low diffusive hydrogen content and strong resistance to hydrogen damage. The fundamental reason why the samples with thin coatings containing niobium have stronger hydrogen embrittlement resistance is the regulation effect of niobium on grain boundaries, precipitation and retained austenite, and the stronger inhibition effect of thin coatings on hydrogen induced cracks.
