Definitions
- the object of the invention is to demonstrate a steel alloy as a material for the production of pipelines for motor vehicles, which allows less material to be used while fulfilling the safety-related requirements and the production-related conditions.
- the main advantage of this steel alloy is that the material undergoes a significant increase in strength in the subsequent soldering process, so that the wall thickness of the pipelines can be significantly reduced with regard to the internal pressure loads.
- This advantage is due to the temperature level of the soldering process.
- the high soldering temperature has no adverse effects on the steel alloy used.
- the pipes can be subjected to a suitable heat treatment instead of the soldering process after the forming.
- the pipelines can be annealed at temperatures above the conversion point Ac3 and subsequently tempered at a slow cooling rate comparable to air cooling.
- the individual pipeline sections can be assembled, for example, by screw connections.
- this air-hardening steel alloy also enables the use of welding techniques that are favorable in terms of production technology, such as MAG or laser beam welding.
- the weld seams have a favorable hardness structure due to air hardening, with little or no strength fluctuations, in particular no lowering of strength, occurring in the transition area to the base material.
- the favorable increase in hardness in the heat affected zone is due to the precipitation hardening taking place here. Due to the precipitation hardening, the pipes would tear in the base material and not in the area of the weld seam. However, since there are no crack-inducing stress peaks in the base material in contrast to the connection area of a holder, the risk of damage when using the stressed steel alloy is considerably reduced.
- the steel alloy used for the forming processes in particular for bending, flanging, expanding and compressing, is soft-annealed in order to achieve tight bending radii in this way.
- the brackets and connecting pieces are then soldered in the continuous soldering furnace with the subsequent connection Cooling process in air or under protective gas to increase strength (air hardening).
- Air hardening is preferably carried out in a continuous furnace under protective gas at a temperature of 950 ° C ⁇ 15 ° C.
- the steel alloy used can generally contain small amounts of nickel up to a maximum of 0.20%. This share results from the use of steel scrap in the melting of the steel alloy. The same applies to copper, which occurs due to the use of scrap.
- the proportion by weight of copper is also limited to a maximum of 0.20% by weight.
- the targeted addition of nitrogen leads to the formation of vanadium (carbo) nitrides which have extremely positive properties on the steel alloy used and for the use of the steel alloy according to the invention.
- the vanadium (carbo) nitrides formed by the targeted addition of nitrogen contribute to the strengthening of the precipitation and grain refinement. It has been shown that with mass fractions of nitrogen in a range of 0.005% and 0.05% on the one hand enough carbonitrides are formed and on the other hand the nitrogen is sufficiently bound by vanadium.
