Abstract [en]

Press hardening provides ultra-high strength steel components, typically boron steels, of complex geometries. In the process, the steel sheet is heated in a furnace to the austenitization temperature, transferred to the press, then simultaneously formed at high temperature and cooled in the die. Life limiting factors for the press hardening dies are mechanical fatigue, thermal fatigue, and wear. In the present case study two die segments were selected where critical damages were mechanical and thermal fatigue, respectively. The dies were made of a H13 type premium hot-work tool steel with complex heated die technology, die design integrating an advanced cooling system, for pressing automotive frame parts.

The first die failed due to mechanical loading with a crack initiated from the ejector pin area. The die design, the mechanical loads, the elevated temperature, and the tool steel crack resistance are main factors to consider. In the second die cracks initiated from an ejector pin hole, as well, due to thermal cycles causing alternating compressive and tensile stresses at the surface, which led to crack nucleation because of the accumulation of local plastic strain in the surface.

Abstract [en]

Fatigue response of metallic materials is considered of significant importance, particularly for high-demanding applications. It is proved that most of the engineering materials do not exhibit a conventional fatigue limit in the high cycle fatigue regime, but rather display a continuously decreasing stress-life response at even longer lifetimes. Consequently, investigations of the various failure mechanisms taking place are essential, especially at the high and very high cycle fatigue regimes.The development of new ultrasonic testing equipment made the fatigue testing beyond 107 life cycles possible in a much shorter time, enabling testing with fatigue fractures at stress levels lower than the traditionally proposed “fatigue limit”. Nowadays, a classification of fatigue life regimes in Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF), High Cycle Fatigue (HCF) and Very High Cycle Fatigue (VHCF) is commonly used. The main reasons for this specific grading are: i) the need for safe design of components and ii) the fact that the failure mechanisms are particular in each of the LCF, HCF and VHCF regimes.The main goal of the present thesis is to address the fatigue response of high strength tool steels. Considering the novel alterations in composition and production methods in alloy development, materials of high-quality are continuously being introduced to the market; understanding the fatigue response of these materials is crucial for potential utilization across diverse industries and applications. The generation of fatigue experimental data, the analysis of the different types of fatigue initiation defects found in each material, as well as the investigation of the fatigue mechanisms occurring during cyclic loading are the main subjects analyzed throughout the present study. 

Abstract [sv]

Utmattningsegenskaper hos metalliska material anses vara av stor betydelse, särskilt för krävande tillämpningar. Det är visat att de flesta konstruktionsmaterial inte uppvisar en konventionell utmattningsgräns i området för högcykelutmattning, utan snarare uppvisar ett kontinuerligt minskande spänning-livslängd förhållande med längre livslängder. Följaktligen är undersökningar av de olika brottmekanismer som äger rum väsentliga, särskilt vid utmattningsregimer med höga och mycket höga livslängder.Utveckling av nya ultraljudsutrustningar gjorde utmattningsprovning utöver 107 livscykler möjliga på mycket kortare tid, vilket möjliggjorde provning med utmattningsbrott vid längre livstid och spänningsnivåer lägre än den traditionellt föreslagna "utmattningsgränsen". Nuförtiden används en indelning av utmattningsregimer i lågcykelutmattning (Low Cycle Fatigue LCF), högcykelutmattning (High Cycle Fatigue HCF) och utmattning vid mycket långa livslängder (Very High Cycle Fatigue VHCF). De huvudsakliga skälen till denna indelning är: i) behovet av säker design av komponenter, och ii) det faktum att brottmekanismerna är speciella i var och en av LCF-, HCF- och VHCF-regimerna. Det främsta målet med denna avhandling är att adressera utmattningsegenskaper hos höghållfasta verktygsstål. Med tanke på nya sammansättningar och produktionsmetoder i legeringsutvecklingen introduceras material av hög kvalitet kontinuerligt på marknaden; att förstå utmattningsresponsen hos dessa material är avgörande för potentiella användningar inom olika industrier och applikationer. Genereringen av experimentell utmattningsdata, analysen av de olika typerna av initieringsdefekter som hittats i varje material, såväl som undersökningen av utmattningsmekanismerna som uppstår under cyklisk belastning är huvudämnena som analyseras genom hela denna studie.
