Abstract

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a corrosion-resistant hot-stamping part and a device thereof. The method includes the following steps: blanking a bare steel plate into a required blank shape; heating the blank to above AC3 in an oxygen-free heating furnace to austenite the blank; putting the austenitized blank into a mold to mold a part; and conducting a surface treatment of the part to form a corrosion-resistant coating layer on a surface of the part. The hot-stamping part manufactured using the described method has good surface quality and great corrosion-resistant performance

Claims (28)

1. A method for manufacturing a corrosion-resistant hot-stamping part without shot blasting, comprising:

blanking a bare steel plate into a required blank shape,

heating the blank to above AC3 in an oxygen-free heating furnace to austenitize the blank;

wherein the oxygen-free heating furnace is a vacuum heating furnace and a vacuum degree of the vacuum heating furnace is 50-500 Pa;

putting the austenitized blank into a mold to mold a part;

conducting an ultrasonic cleaning or pickling on the part, then using an electroplating process to form a corrosion-resistant coating layer on a surface of the part; and

conducting a dehydrogenation treatment;

wherein the dehydrogenation treatment comprises heating the part to 140° C.-190° C. and insulating the part at the temperature for 10-30 min;

wherein the electroplating process comprises firstly using a current density of 5-10 A/dm 2 for 0.5-2 min to strike plating the part; and using a current density of 1-3 A/dm 2 for 1-15 min to electroplating the part;

wherein a tensile strength of the part after treated reaches 1300-1650 Mpa

wherein the step heating the blank to above AC3 in an oxygen-free heating furnace to austenize the blank, wherein the oxygen-free heating furnace is a vacuum heating furnace and a vacuum degree of the vacuum heating furnace is 50-500 Pa comprises:

putting the blanking blank into an oxygen-free furnace;

starting vacuum pump to vacuumize the furnace to make the vacuum degree inside of the furnace 50-500 Pa;

then using nitrogen gas inflate the vacuum furnace which makes the inside of vacuum furnace to achieve one atmospheric pressure; and

heating the blank to above AC3 to austenize the blank;

wherein the oxygen-free heating furnace is a vacuum heating furnace and a vacuum degree of the vacuum heating furnace is 50-500 Pa.

2. The method for manufacturing the corrosion-resistant hot-stamping part according to claim 1 , wherein an oxygen content in the vacuum heating furnace when heating is below 0.5%.

3. The method for manufacturing the corrosion-resistant hot-stamping part according to claim 1 , wherein the vacuum degree of the vacuum heating furnace is 50-100 Pa.

4. The method for manufacturing the corrosion-resistant hot-stamping part according to claim 1 , wherein a time for heating the blank and a time for insulating the part by the oxygen-free heating furnace is 60-300 s in total.

5. The method for manufacturing the corrosion-resistant hot-stamping part according to claim 1 , wherein the blank in the oxygen-free heating furnace is heated to 880° C. -950° C.

6. The method for manufacturing the corrosion-resistant hot-stamping part according to claim 1 , wherein a time for transferring the blank after heating from the oxygen-free heating furnace to the mold is 5-10 s.

7. The method for manufacturing the corrosion-resistant hot-stamping part according to claim 1 , wherein a temperature for the blank in the mold starting to be molded is 650° C. -850° C.

8. The method for manufacturing the corrosion-resistant hot-stamping part according to claim 1 , wherein the mold has a water cooling system, and the water cooling system makes the blank cooling at a speed of not less than 30° C./s during the molding.

9. The method for manufacturing the corrosion-resistant hot-stamping part according to claim 1 , wherein the corrosion-resistance coating layer comprises a Zn coating, a Zn—Fe alloy coating, a Zn—Al alloy coating, or a Zn—Ni alloy coating.

10. The method for manufacturing the corrosion-resistant hot-stamping part according to claim 1 , wherein a heating speed in the vacuum heating furnace is 20° C./s-50° C./s.

11. The method for manufacturing the corrosion-resistant hot-stamping part according to claim 1 , wherein a time for pickling the part is 5 s-15 s.

12. The method for manufacturing the corrosion-resistant hot-stamping part according to claim 11 , wherein an auxiliary anodizing or a pictographic anodizing is used when electroplating.

13. The method for manufacturing the corrosion-resistant hot-stamping part according to claim 1 , wherein between the step “putting the austenitized blank into a mold to mold a part” and the step “conducting an ultrasonic cleaning or pickling on the part”, further comprising laser trimming or hole- cutting the part.
