Abstract

This article investigates the effect of niobium-vanadium composite microalloying on the performance of hot press forming B-pillars. Three-point bending experiments and trolley collision performance experiments on B-pillars were conducted. The results showed that during the three-point bending experiment on the B-pillar, the critical fracture strain increased from 0.537 of 22MnB5 to 0.857 of 22MnB5NbV; When the B-pillar fracture occurred, the displacement of the press head increased from 65mm to 82mm. During the trolley collision, the intrusion amount in the three key parts of the dummy’s chest, abdom, and public corresponding to the B-pillar is significantly decreased. The HESI (hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity index) was measured by sampling from three locations of the B-pillar, and 22MnB5NbV showed a significant decrease compared to 22MnB5. Composite microalloying effectively improves the safety of hot press forming B-pillars in the using, protects passenger space, and extending the service life of the B-pillar.
