High formability steels for drawing Drawing steels

Description

This range of non-alloyed mild steels is designed for deep and extra deep drawing applications. These products are used extensively in the automotive industry, both for visible and structural parts. The guaranteed low scatter in their mechanical properties ensures optimum productivity in drawing press operations. The range of cold rolled steels has been extended to include the ultra high drawability qualityArcelorMittal 07, ensuring maximum efficiency in the production of the most difficult-to-form parts (body sides, door liners, tailgates, etc.). The range of ArcelorMittal hot rolled mild steels covers the four levels of drawing difficulty listed below:

ArcelorMittal 12: for drawing, with minimum guaranteed yield strengthArcelorMittal 13: for deep drawingArcelorMittal 14: for very deep drawingArcelorMittal 15: for drawing particularly difficult parts requiring performance regularity at high production rates (transfer presses).

These ArcelorMittal steel grades are non-ageing, conserving their mechanical properties and their formability over time. They are also suitable for class 1 hot dip galvanizing according to the EN 36503 standard.The ArcelorMittal range offers better guarantees than the usual standard-compliant drawing steels, while remaining compatible with standards.

Applications

These ArcelorMittal steels are designed for deep and extra deep drawing of visible and structural parts.

While the ArcelorMittal grades conform perfectly well to the indicated EN standards, ArcelorMittal grades generally offer tighter mechanical properties(see table below).The above indicative tables summarize the European and VDA standards corresponding to the ArcelorMittal product range.

Technical characteristics

These ArcelorMittal steels have high drawability as a result of the tight margins in their chemical composition and mechanical properties, ensuring consistent behavior during secondary processing.

The n, r and elongation guarantees are reduced slightly with Galvannealed coating, resulting in a loss of 0.3 in the r coefficient and about 2% in elongation. Please consult us for more information.

For products with a thickness of 0.7 mm or less, the minimum guaranteed fracture elongation values should be reduced by 2 units.

ArcelorMittal 57 for skin parts has a guaranteed yield strength of 130 to 170 MPa instead of 120 to 160 MPa.

Interstitial-free (IF) metallurgy is systematically used to produce ArcelorMittal 06 and 07. This type of metallurgy is also required for the hot-dip coated (Extragal® and Galvannealed) versions of ArcelorMittal 54 and 56.

Recommendations for use and secondary processing

FormingThis family of ArcelorMittal steels has high and even very high drawability in all deformation modes (low yield strength and high ductility and normal strain ratio). They can be used to manufacture complex parts incorporating several functions, generating cost savings.

This family of ArcelorMittal steels has high and even very high drawability in all deformation modes (low yield strength and high ductility and normal strain ratio). They can be used to manufacture complex parts incorporating several functions, generating cost savings. Forming limit curves can be used to define the maximum strains without necking for different deformation paths.

Examples of forming limit curves calculated for cold rolled steels in the ArcelorMittal 03 to 07 range (thickness: 1.0 mm)

Welding

Resistance spot weldingThe table below gives examples of resistance spot welding parameters for ArcelorMittal products, determined according to the ISO 18278-2 standard. The resistance spot weldability of hot rolled ArcelorMittal products is similar to that of cold rolled products of the same grade (C/Mn).

Fatigue strength

Fatigue strength can be expressed as an endurance limit (maximum stress). Examples of Wöhler curves for a variety ArcelorMittal steels are shown in the graph below. The curves plot maximum stress versus number of cycles to failure. They are calculated for a tension-tension loading ratio of R=0.1.
