Abstract (en)

The method comprises heating a circuit board (1) made of hardenable steel to an austenitizing temperature before a forming process, where the heated circuit board is hot-formed in a material-deforming tool and is hardened in the tool or subsequent to a molding process by a rapid cooling so that a ferritic structure of a heated starting material is converted into a martensitic structure, and pressing the circuit board during a transformation so that portions or zones (2, 3, 4) are produced with different material thicknesses. The pretreated circuit board is again heated to the temperature. The method comprises heating a circuit board (1) made of hardenable steel to an austenitizing temperature, before a forming process, where the heated circuit board is hot-formed in a material-deforming tool and is hardened in the tool or subsequent to a molding process by a rapid cooling so that a ferritic structure of a heated starting material is converted into a martensitic structure, and pressing the circuit board during a transformation so that portions or zones (2, 3, 4) are produced with different material thicknesses. The pretreated circuit board is again heated to the austenitizing temperature and is subsequently hot formed in the forming tool. The circuit board is provided, before the forming process, with an aluminum-silicon-coating or a zinc-nickel-coating. An independent claim is included for a hot-formed component made of high-strength or high-fixed steel.

Abstract (de)

Um ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Formteiles aus vorzugsweise hochfestem oder höchstfestem Stahl, wobei eine Platine (1) aus härtbarem Stahl auf Austenitisierungstemperatur erwärmt wird, die erwärmte Platine (1) in einem Umformwerkzeug warmumgeformt und im Werkzeug oder anschließend an den Formgebungsvorgang durch schnelle Abkühlung gehärtet wird, so dass das ferritische Gefüge des erwärmten Ausgangsmaterials in martensitisches Gefüge umgewandelt wird, zu schaffen, bei dem besonders hoch beanspruchbare Zonen am fertigen Formteil ausgebildet sind, dass dabei kostengünstig und einfach herstellbar ist, wird vorgeschlagen, dass während der Umformung die Platine (1) gleichzeitig verpresst wird, so dass Abschnitte oder Zonen (2,3,4) mit unterschiedlicher Materialdicke erzeugt werden.
