초록

보론강을 사용하는 열간성형은 경량화된 자동차 차체부품의 생산을 위해서 최근에 널리 사용되고 있으며, 열간성형 후 약 1,500 MPa 정도의 고강도 특성을 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 열간성형이 현가부품에 사용되기 위해서는 고강도 특성보다 피로특성이 더 중요해진다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 열간성형에 의해 제작된 자동차 현가부품의 일종인 튜블러 토션빔 액슬의 피로특성에 대하여 연구하였다. 냉각방식에 따른 보론강의 저주기 피로특성에 대하여 연구하였으며, 튜블러 토션빔 액슬의 피로수명을 예측하기 위해서 구조 및 피로해석이 수행되었다. 튜블러 토션빔 액슬의 토션빔 영역에서 응력집중이 발생하였으며, 열간성형에 의한 고강도화가 튜블러 토션빔 액슬의 수명향상에 큰 영향을 미쳤다.

Hot forming using boron steel is currently used for manufacturing low-weight automobile body parts, and a high tensile strength of about 1,500 MPa is obtained after hot forming. However, a high fatigue life is a more important factor than high strength when it is used for automobile suspension parts. A tubular torsion beam axle (TTBA) is one of these suspension parts, and this research deals with the fatigue characteristic of TTBA using hot forming. The low cyclic fatigue life of boron steel is investigated according to the cooling method. In addition, a structural and fatigue analysis of TTBA is performed to predict the fatigue life. The stress concentration that occurs in the tubular torsion beam is found, and the longest fatigue life occurs when rapid cooling is utilized in the TTBA fabrication.
