Investigation of Al-Si Coating Behavior on 22MnB5 Boron Steel during Heat Treatment

Article Preview

Abstract:

Steel 22MnB5 is widely used in the automotive industry for manufacturing high-strength structural car body parts. To achieve desired mechanical properties, hot-stamping is used, during which the Al-Si coating plays a critical protective role against oxidation. This study investigates the structural evolution of the Al-Si coating under various austenitization durations at 920 °C. Intermetallic phase formation and coating morphology are analyzed.
