Methods to Decrease Cut Edge Sensitivity of High Strength Steels

Article Preview

Abstract:

The edge cracking sensitivity of AHSS and UHSS is quite challenging in the cold forming process. Expanding cut holes during flanging operations is rather common in automotive components. During these flanging operations the pierced hole is stretched that its diameter is increased. These flanging operations stretch material that has already been subjected to large amounts of plastic deformation, therefore forming problems may occur. An innovative cutting process decreases micro cracks in the cutting surface and facilitates the subsequent cold forming process. That cutting process consists of two stages, which produces close dimensional tolerance and smooth edges. As a result the hole expanding ratio was increased by nearly 100% when using thick high strength steels for suspension components
