- the deformability of the deformation starting point 130 is not sufficiently secured, and cracks occur at the deformation starting point 130. It was easy to occur. Further, in particular, when the deformation starting point 130 is formed of a high-strength material such as a high-strength steel plate, the occurrence of cracks at the deformation starting point 130 is remarkable. However, since the deformation starting point 130 of the skeleton member 100 according to the present embodiment has an appropriate hardness distribution around the deformation starting point 130 as described later, the dimensions of the deformation starting point 130 are set within the above range. Even if it is, the occurrence of cracks is suppressed.

It is a figure which shows as an example.
- the first corner portion 131a is provided between the top plate portion 111 and the first wall portion 133a of the deformation starting point portion 130. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the first corner portions 131a have bending stop points R1 and R2 on the top plate portion 111 side and bending stop points R3 and R4 on the first wall portion 133a side, respectively. Is formed between.
- the present inventors have found that the deformation at a predetermined position outside the deformation starting point 130 has a great influence on the behavior of the deformation starting point 130. I found it. That is, when a load is input along the longitudinal direction of the skeleton member 100 (the Y direction in FIG. 1), deformation occurs in the deformation starting point 130 and its periphery. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the deformation starting point 130 is deformed so that the longitudinal ends of the skeleton member 100 of the deformation starting point 130 come close to each other. At this time, in the deformation stage of the deformation starting point 130, especially in the latter stage of the deformation, as shown in FIG. 4, a large out-of-plane deformation occurs around the deformation starting point 130, and the internal stress becomes high at the first position K1. As a result, cracks may easily occur in or around the deformation starting point 130 of the skeleton member 100.
- the deformation starting point 130 is made of a high-strength material, breakage is likely to occur when the deformation starting point 130 is deformed. As a result, the deformation at the deformation starting point 130 results in an unexpected deformation mode. As a result, it is possible that the expected amount of energy absorption cannot be secured sufficiently.
- the first position K1 has a depth of 1/4 of the plate thickness t of the skeleton member 100 in the plate thickness direction from the surface continuous with the bent outer side of the first corner portion 131a (the surface outside the closed cross section of the skeleton member 100). The position of the skeleton.
- the present inventors can suppress the occurrence of cracks at the deformation starting point 130 by having a predetermined distribution of hardness at the first position K1. I came up with.
- the hardness around the deformation starting point 130 of the skeleton member 100 according to the present embodiment will be described below.
- the frequency distribution of Vickers hardness at the first position K1 satisfies a predetermined condition.
- the average value H (K1) of hardness is Vickers hardness of 330 Hv or more, and further, the standard of Vickers hardness. It is assumed that the deviation ⁇ has a relationship of 3 ⁇ ⁇ 60.
- Such a hardness frequency distribution is, for example, in a multiphase structure having ferrite, bainite, fresh martensite, tempered martensite, and retained austenite, the former austenite grains are refined and the precipitation order of each structure is adjusted to obtain Vickers It may be realized by finely dispersing in the indentation of the hardness measurement test at various ratios.
- the hardness frequency distribution of the steel plate having a two-phase structure of ferrite and martensite has a narrow range of 3 ⁇ , and fresh martensite, tempered martensite, ferrite, bainite, and retained austenite are finely dispersed.
- the hardness frequency distribution of the steel plate of the composite structure is such that the range of 3 ⁇ is wide because the hardness of each phase is different. Therefore, the relationship of 3 ⁇ ⁇ 60 can be realized by appropriately adjusting the metal structure of the first position K1.
- the metal structure may be locally adjusted by hardening by work-induced transformation.
- H (K2) when the average hardness was set to H (K2) in the second position K2 of the top plate portion 111 shown in FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. 5, H (K1) becomes greater than H (K2), H (K2) ⁇ 1.06 ⁇ H (K1) can be set.
- the second position K2 may be a flat surface portion of the top plate portion 111 that is separated from the deformation starting portion 130 outward by 50 mm or more and at a depth of 1/4 of the plate thickness of the skeleton member from the surface. Just do it.
- the relationship of H (K3) ⁇ 1.06 ⁇ H (K1) may be further satisfied.
- the bending deformation mode starting from the deformation starting point at the time of collision is rationally designed while suppressing the cracking only at the deformation starting point 130 or its periphery where the internal stress becomes high and cracks are likely to occur. It is preferable because it can be reliably controlled and the impact absorption characteristics of the skeleton member can be further improved.
- the strength of the entire skeleton member 100 including the periphery of the deformation starting point 130 is sufficiently secured. Therefore, the load capacity is improved. As a result, the shock absorption characteristics of the skeleton member 100 are further improved.
- the hardness distribution around the deformation starting point 130 has a constant width by having a relationship of 3 ⁇ ⁇ 60 with respect to the standard deviation ⁇ of the Vickers hardness. That is, in the vicinity of the deformation starting point 130, the skeleton member 100 has a wide range of characteristics related to hardness, from a value having a relatively low hardness to a value having a relatively high hardness.
- the generation of strain due to the deformation depends on the internal stress of the skeleton member 100. It will be continuous. That is, a yield phenomenon occurs continuously when the deformation occurs around the deformation starting point 130, and the deformability of the skeleton member 100 is further improved.
- the hardness frequency distribution of the skeleton member 100 according to the present embodiment is obtained by the Vickers hardness test.
- a sample is cut out from an arbitrary position including the measurement position.
- the size of the sample depends on the measuring device, but may be about 10 mm ⁇ 10 mm.
- it is removed by mechanical grinding to a position of 1/4 of the plate thickness.
- measurement is carried out using a Micro Vickers hardness tester according to the method described in JIS Z 2244: 2009. Specifically, with a load of 0.98 N, 500 points are measured at intervals of 3 times or more the indentation.
- the hardness frequency distribution of the skeleton member 100 according to the present embodiment obtained as a result of the above-mentioned Vickers hardness test, a known statistical method is used to obtain the mean value H (K1) , standard deviation ⁇ , and the like. The method is used.
- the standard deviation ⁇ of the Vickers hardness may further have a relationship of 1 ⁇ ⁇ 20.
- the variation in hardness is within a predetermined range, so that the occurrence of cracks due to the extreme difference in hardness is suppressed.
- the standard deviation ⁇ of the Vickers hardness may further have a relationship of 3 ⁇ ⁇ 200.
- the variation in hardness is within a predetermined range, so that the occurrence of cracks due to the extreme difference in hardness is suppressed.
- the hardness in the skeleton member 100 having the deformation starting point 130, the hardness has a predetermined distribution at the first position K1 around the deformation starting point 130. That is, in the hardness frequency distribution at the first position K1, the standard deviation ⁇ of hardness is 3 ⁇ ⁇ 60. Further, in the hardness frequency distribution, the average value H (K1) is 330 Hv or more. As a result, the hardness distribution of the skeleton member 100 according to the present embodiment has a predetermined range from a relatively low hardness value to a relatively high hardness value centered on the average value. ..
- the skeleton member 100 has a sufficient load capacity, but cracks due to a difference in hardness or local strain concentration are less likely to occur, and the skeleton member 100 The amount of energy absorbed increases. Therefore, the shock absorption characteristics of the skeleton member 100 are further improved.
- the deformation starting point 130 is a structurally low-strength portion having a shape that is convex inward of the bending of the corner portion 113, and further, the first position K1 around the deformation starting point 130.

- the buckling phenomenon under a low load due to axial crushing does not occur as compared with the case where the deformation starting point 130 is simply softened to have low strength, and a predetermined deformation mode is realized in the deformation at the deformation starting point 130. Will be done.
- the skeleton member 100 of the present embodiment can sufficiently secure the amount of energy absorption.
- FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing an external example of the skeleton member 100 according to the present embodiment.

Description
本願は、2019年3月28日に、日本に出願された特願2019-063420号に基づき優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
(1)本発明の一態様は、長手方向に延びる骨格部材であって、前記長手方向に沿って延びるコーナ部と、前記コーナ部の短手方向の端部から延在する第1の壁部と、前記コーナ部の、前記端部とは反対側の端部から延在する第2の壁部と、を有し、前記コーナ部に、前記コーナ部の曲げ内側または曲げ外側に凸となる形状を有し、前記骨格部材の長手方向に荷重が入力された際に変形起点となる変形起点部が形成され、前記変形起点部の前記長手方向の端部から、前記長手方向に沿って前記変形起点部の外方へ10mmの距離だけ離れ、かつ表面から前記骨格部材の板厚の1/4の深さの第一位置における硬さの平均値H(K1)が、ビッカース硬さで330Hv以上であり、かつ前記第一位置における硬さ頻度分布の標準偏差σについて、3σ≧60の関係を満たす骨格部材である。

[骨格部材の外観例]
まず、図1を参照して、本発明の第1の実施形態に係る骨格部材100の概略構成について説明する。図1は、本実施形態に係る骨格部材100の外観例を示す斜視図である。骨格部材100は、図1に示すように、図1におけるY方向を長手方向とし、長手方向を法線方向とする断面視(X-Z平面視)したときに、閉断面となっている部材である。骨格部材100は、第1の部材110と、第2の部材120とを含んで構成されている。骨格部材100には、骨格部材100の長手方向(図1におけるY方向)に沿って、荷重が入力される場合がある。
引き続き、図1および図2を参照しながら、変形起点部130について説明する。図2は、図1におけるI-I’端面図であり、変形起点部130の断面構造を説明する図である。図1に示すように、変形起点部130は、コーナ部113の長手方向の一部に、コーナ部113の短手方向に沿って、設けられている。骨格部材100に対して、骨格部材100の長手方向に荷重が入力された場合、変形起点部130が変形することで、所定の変形モードで骨格部材100を軸方向に圧縮変形(座屈変形)させ、衝撃を吸収する。変形起点部130は、コーナ部113の曲げ内側に向かって凸となった形状を有している。例えば、変形起点部130は、コーナ部113において矩形の溝形状に設けられている。
続いて、図3~図6を参照しながら、本実施形態に係る骨格部材100の変形起点部130の硬さについて説明する。
図3は、本実施形態に係る骨格部材100の変形起点部130の近傍を拡大した図である。
図4は、本実施形態に係る骨格部材100の変形起点部130の変形の様子を模式的に示す図である。
図5は、本実施形態に係る骨格部材100の変形起点部130の長手方向の端部から、長手方向に沿って変形起点部の外方へ10mmの距離だけ離れ、かつ表面から骨格部材100の板厚の1/4の深さの第一位置K1と、天板部111のうち、変形起点部130の外方へ50mm以上離れた平面部であって、表面から骨格部材100の板厚の1/4の深さの第二位置K2についての、それぞれの硬さ頻度分布の一例を示す図である。
図6は、フェライト、マルテンサイトの二相組織の鋼板の硬さ頻度分布と、フレッシュマルテンサイト、焼戻しマルテンサイト、フェライト、ベイナイト、残留オーステナイトが微細分散した複合組織の鋼板の硬さ頻度分布とを一例として示す図である。
上述の通り、第1のコーナ部131aは、天板部111と、変形起点部130の第1の壁部133aとの間に設けられている。具体的には、図3に示すように、第1のコーナ部131aは、それぞれ天板部111側の曲げ止まり点R1、R2と、第1の壁部133a側の曲げ止まり点R3、R4との間に形成されている。
図6に示すように、フェライトとマルテンサイトの二相組織の鋼板の硬さ頻度分布は3σの範囲が狭い分布となるところ、フレッシュマルテンサイト、焼戻しマルテンサイト、フェライト、ベイナイト、残留オーステナイトを微細分散した複合組織の鋼板の硬さ頻度分布は各相の硬さが異なることにより3σの範囲が広い分布となる。従って、第一位置K1の金属組織を適切に調整することによって、3σ≧60の関係を実現することができる。
このように、H(K2)×1.06<H(K1)の関係を満たす硬さ分布とする場合、内部応力が高くなり割れが発生しやすい変形起点部130またはその周辺においてのみ、割れを抑制しつつ、衝突時における変形起点部を起点とする折れ変形モードを合理的な設計で確実に制御し、骨格部材の衝撃吸収特性をより向上させることができる。
尚、図示は省略するが、縦壁部115のうち、変形起点部130の外方へ50mm以上離れた平面部であって、表面から骨格部材の板厚の1/4の深さの位置を第三位置K3とし、その平均硬さをH(K3)としたとき、H(K3)×1.06<H(K1)の関係を更に満たしてもよい。この場合にも、内部応力が高くなり割れが発生しやすい変形起点部130またはその周辺においてのみ、割れを抑制しつつ、衝突時における変形起点部を起点とする折れ変形モードを合理的な設計で確実に制御し、骨格部材の衝撃吸収特性をより向上させることができるため、好ましい。
まず、測定位置を含む任意の位置からサンプルを切り出す。サンプルのサイズは、測定装置にもよるが、10mm×10mm程度で良い。
当該サンプルにおいて、板厚の1/4の位置まで機械研削によって除去する。
そして、JIS Z 2244:2009に準じて測定面を調整した試料に対し、JIS Z 2244:2009記載の方法に準じてマイクロビッカース硬さ試験機を用いて測定を実施する。
具体的には、荷重0.98Nで、圧痕の3倍以上の間隔で500点測定する。
例えば、第一位置K1における硬さ分布は、変形起点部130の第2のコーナ部131bから、骨格部材100の長手方向に沿って、外側にL=10mmだけ離れた位置で示されてもよい。
さらに、第一位置K1は、変形起点部130の第1のコーナ部131aと第2のコーナ部131bのそれぞれから骨格部材100の長手方向に沿って、外側にL=10mmだけ離れた位置であってもよい。
続いて、図7を参照しながら、本発明の第2の実施形態に係る骨格部材100について説明する。図7は、本実施形態に係る骨格部材100の外観例を示す斜視図である。本実施形態に係る骨格部材100は、上述の第1の実施形態と比較して、変形起点部130Aの形状が、コーナ部113の曲げ外側に凸となるように設けられている点で相違する。なお、本実施形態の説明において、第1の実施形態と共通する構成については、説明を省略する。
続いて、図8を参照しながら、本発明の第3の実施形態に係る骨格部材200について説明する。図8は、本実施形態に係る骨格部材200の外観例を示す斜視図である。本実施形態に係る骨格部材200は、上述の第1の実施形態と比較して、角筒形状となっている点で相違する。なお、本実施形態の説明において、他の実施形態と共通する構成については、説明を省略する。
以上、本発明の好適な実施の形態について詳細に説明した。ここから、図9を参照して本発明の実施形態に係る骨格部材の適用例について説明する。図9は、本発明の実施形態に係る骨格部材100、200が適用される一例としての車体構造300を示す図である。骨格部材100、200は、衝撃吸収骨格として車体構造300を構成し得る。骨格部材100、200の長手方向は、車体構造300の車長方向(前後方向)に沿って、設けられている。また、骨格部材100、200は、車体構造300において、衝撃吸収骨格として用いられてもよい。具体的な衝撃吸収骨格としての骨格部材100、200の適用例は、リアサイドメンバー301、エプロンアッパメンバ303、クラッシュボックス305、フロントサイドメンバー307等が挙げられる。
比較例1は、変形起点部の周辺の第一位置K1における硬さについて、標準偏差σで、3σ=40となる硬さ頻度分布であった。実施例1は、同様に標準偏差σについて、3σ=76となる硬さ頻度分布であった。さらに、実施例2は、同様に標準偏差σについて、3σ=151となる硬さ頻度分布であった。なお、比較例、実施例ともに、硬さ頻度分布における平均値は、330Hv以上であった。
