Abstract
Hot stamped boron steel panels with tailored properties are popular as car safety components for maximised energy absorption. In this study, dynamic and quasi-static tensile tests (strain rate: 0.001/s – 500/s) combined with microstructural observation were carried out to study the mechanical properties of press hardened boron steel with various microstructures (martensite volume fraction: 0 – 100%) at room temperature. Based on the test results, a physically-based unified viscoplastic-damage constitutive model has been developed and determined, which takes the volume fraction of martensite into account. Thus the crashworthiness and failure mode of boron steel parts having graded microstructure distributions can be described through a single set of equations.
