In the last years, press-hardening steels have contributed to the automotive industry successfully to meet the increasing regulations for reducing fuel consumption and stringent greenhouse gas emissions while improving passenger safety by manufacturing lightweight car body parts. Zn-Fe coating is an alternative to prevent corrosion or even enhance the corrosion resistance in these steels. However, Zn-Fe coating is prone to liquid melting embrittlement (LME) during the hot forming process. To prevent LME, the coating must be fully transformed into a solid solution before the forming operation, avoiding the contact of the Zinc liquid phase with the steel substrate. This work aimed to determine the phase temperature transformations and critical cooling rate to define the process window for a 22MnB5 sheet with a Zn-Fe coating when submitted to a higher heating rate in comparison to the direct conventional hot forming process. The experimental results indicated that a fully martensitic microstructure is obtained with a cooling rate of 30 °C/s. The adopted two-side Zn coating weight of 80 g/m2 heated at 53 °C/s to 900 °C is fully transformed into Fe-α solid solution in 23 s, which is an industrial gain compared to longer dwell times required in the conventional heating furnace processes. Keywords: Hot forming, 22MnB5, CCT, Zn-Fe coating, LME |
