5.CHARACTERISTICS
5.1.METALLURGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PART AFTER HEAT TREATMENT
5.1.1.MICROSTRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS
The microstructural analysis must be carried out according to the standard EN ISO 643.
The structure must mainly be full martensitic. The presence of a small amount of bainite is accepted but in every
case mechanical properties on final part must always be fulfilled (see 5.1.4 & 5.1.5).
When bigger portions of bainite are found on the microstructure, this state need to be agreed and validated by PSA
Quality insurance department on the first representative production parts.
5.1.2.DECARBURIZATION CLASS
Decarburization can occur on uncoated material or area where the coating is missing (on and near weld seam of
Tailor Welding Blank for example)
Decarburization is measured by microstructural examination (EN ISO 643) and by hardness measurement (EN ISO
6507-1).
Area with total thickness decarburization (only ferritic structure) is not accepted.
The accepted average thickness of the partial decarburization area (ferritic/martensitic structure) is a maximum of
50 microns per face for sheets with a thickness less than or equal to 2 mm. For sheets with thickness greater than
2 mm, the accepted average thickness of the partial decarburization area is 70 microns per face.
The average value of the thickness of partial decarburization is calculated from the thicknesses measured on a
number of takings defined by the hot forming supplier.
The hardness maximum variation between the surface and the core must be 50 HV10.
5.1.3.RE CARBURIZATION CLASS
Re-carburized area mustn’t exist on the parts surfaces. A micrographic examination allows making sure of it.
5.1.4.MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS AFTER HEAT TREATMENT
The test is produced according to B53 3055 standard.
The dimensions (size) of test specimen have to respect the standard EN ISO 6892-1 appendix B.
The location of test specimen on parts and their quantity must be defined part by part by PSA and hot forming
supplier. It must be taken, as possible, in a flat zone with a homogeneous thickness.
Test specimen must be realize by machining under cold conditions, and realized without hammering. Only the
sides are machined, they must be exempt of transverse streak.
With pre coated material, the reference thickness has to correspond to the minimal thickness measured on the
calibrated area on the test specimen included the coating thickness.

Press hardened parts made with patch, with Tailor Rolled Blanks or Tailored Welded Blank have also to respect
these values on each part area.

In the case of impossibility of taking of tensile test piece in the part, the values of hardness (see Table 2 section
5.1.5) must be respected in every area.
5.1.5.HARDNESS
A particular attention must be brought to the hottest points identified on press hardened parts by thermal imaging at
the end of hot forming process.
The Vickers test must be produced according to the standard EN ISO 6507-1.
The core hardness, at every press hardened part area, must be guaranteed. The range for hardness values is
stipulated in Table 2 below.

Min Max

5.1.6.COATING CHARACTERISTICS AFTER HEAT TREATMENT

5.1.6.1.Aluminium silicon coating thickness
 General requirement
Two only authorized thicknesses of coating are AS23/23 or AS13/13 (see standard B53 3830).
Coating thicknesses on each side of press hardened part must respect values stipulated in Table 3 below:

Coating thicknesses

Min – Max total thickness (µm) Diffusion layer(µm)

(1) (1)
AS23/23 (2) 30 - 50 <15
AS13/13 (3) 15 - 30 <12 (4)
Table 3

(1) Average of 3 measures on 3 different points by micrographic section according to the standard EN ISO 1463.
(2) This coating is also known under the name AS150 (surface weight 150 g/m² for both faces).
(3) This coating is also known under the name AS80 (surface weight 80 g/m² for both faces).
(4) Superior thickness could be accepted until 15 µm if quality of painting, corrosion resistance, adhesive bonding
and weldability are fulfilled.
For information, typical values of total coating thickness on press hardened part are 35 µm for AS23/23 and 21 µm
for AS13/13.
 Case of press hardened part made with Tailor Rolled Blank
Main case:
The heat treatment done on press hardened parts must not have a negative impact on quality of painting, of
corrosion resistance, of adhesive bonding and weldability.
The hot forming supplier must also respect specification of chemical surface phase (see section. 5.1.6.2).
The only authorized coating thickness is AS23/23.
The coating thicknesses obtained after flexible rolling are proportionally reduced to the reduction of thickness of the
sheet steel substrate before heat treatment.
This reduction is not recognizable in the same proportions after heat treatment.
Coating thicknesses on each side of press hardened part must respect values stipulated in Table 4 below:

Coating thicknesses
Min - Max total thickness (µm) Diffusion layer(µm)

Particular case:
For body in white part located in strongly requested zone in corrosion, depend on design, the agreement of PSA
Materials engineering department regarding coating performance is always compulsory.

 Case of press hardened part made with Tailor Welded Blank

The laser tailor welded blank must have to be exempt from any defect according to standard B13 1520. A
continuous quality control in supplier production line must be made, for example, by Eddy currents.
Surfaces on both sides of the weld seam and on each of both faces of the tailor welded blank must have to be
exempt from aluminum stemming from the AS coating (AS23/23 or AS13/13) to be sure of its absence in the
welded seam.
Before hot forming, the supplier must make sure of partial or total coating ablation by micrographic section.
The width « L » of this coating ablation area has to be between 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm, depending on welding process
specificities. See Figure 1.
After press hardening, the hardness in the weld seam with 22MnB5/22MnB5 TWB must be the same than in the
base metal in this area.

Figure 1
Accepted under conditions (total ablation case):
 Partial local decarburization is accepted according to requirements in section 5.1.2.
 Total ablation is not allowed for body in white part located in strongly requested zone in corrosion, the
agreement of PSA Materials engineering department is always compulsory.
A visual detection (with a binocular magnifying glass) of the good partial ablation of the coating can complete the
micrographic analysis in the case of a continuous follow-up in production, but in case of dispute, only the
micrographic analysis is valid.

The partially ablated zone with visible diffusion layer is represented under the shape of a continuous black strip
along the weld: see on the right side on the weld Figure 2 below.

Figure 2

 Case of press hardened parts with one or several patches

Main case:
The coating thickness of the patch on visible surface must respect values of Table 3.
The heat treatment done on press hardened parts must not have a negative impact on quality of painting and
corrosion resistance.
The hot forming supplier must also respect specification of chemical surface phase (see section. 5.1.6.2).
Particular case:
For body in white part located in strongly requested zone in corrosion, depend on design, the agreement of PSA
Materials engineering department regarding coating performance is always compulsory.

5.1.6.2.Quality of aluminum silicon coating

The heat treatment done on press hardened parts must not have a negative impact on quality of painting, of
corrosion resistance, of adhesive bonding and weldability.
Among others, not exhaustive list, the following defects are to be banned:
 The steel substrate must not have to contain any cracks going through the coating. The crossing of the diffusion
layer up to the steel substrate is the maximum acceptable case. See Figure 3 below :

Figure 3 : Accepted

 The coated parts must not have to contain any excess material heap or localized lack of coating caused by an
excessive speed of heating in the furnace See Figure 4 and Figure 5.

Figure 4 : Accepted Figure 5 : Not accepted

 PSA PEUGEOT - CITROËN
BORON STEEL STAMPED PARTS – HEAT TREATED B10 1130 13/15

 The values of internal part radius (Rint) have to be enough big to avoid the dent of steel substrate which leads
to notch fracture. See Figure 6. By default, and subject to forming, the internal part radius must be equal or
bigger than 5 mm.

Figure 6 : Not accepted (Rint < 5 mm) Figure 7 : accepted (Rint ≥ 5 mm)

 Metallurgical phases on surface layer

Main case:
To fulfill the quality of alloyed coating (AS coated parts), the on-surface must not present liquid aluminum phase
meaning a too short heating time in the furnace and must not present ternary porous alloy Fe - Al – Si (usually
called tau1 « τ1 ») meaning a too long heating time in the furnace or a too high temperature of austenitizing.
The physical consequence of this obligation is characterized, translated, by a high roughness. The hot forming
supplier must have to make sure that the part surface shall contain a roughness indicated in Table 5 below:

Roughness (Ra) Min – Max (µm)

(1)
AS13/13 1.2 – 4.5
AS23/23 1.8 – 4.5
Table 5

(1) Average value (Ra) according to standard D35 5419.

Particular case:
In case of press hardened part made with Tailor Rolled Blank, the roughness after heat treatment may not respect
the main case requirement in the zones of stronger thickness reduction. During the first representative process and
tool tryout, the hot forming supplier must have to make sure of the absence of liquid aluminum phase or ternary
porous alloy Fe - Al – Si on coating surface to ensure painting and weldability.

 PSA PEUGEOT - CITROËN
BORON STEEL STAMPED PARTS – HEAT TREATED B10 1130 14/15

5.2.HYDROGEN EMBRITTLEMENT
The production line must have to possess means of control suited to measure the values of the dew point to
manage the risk of delayed fracture due to hydrogen embrittlement. The maximum value for the 22MnB5 coated
grade is of minus five degrees (-5°C).
In case of measurement system not controlled to furnace settings (close loop), the hot forming supplier must show
how he manages the hydrogen embrittlement risk in standard project quality document.
For uncoated steel, no range of chemical or electrochemical etching can be used to eliminate surface oxide.
5.3.SURFACE FINISH
In order to guarantee paint (requirements shown in standard B15 5050) and Assembly performances, the part must
be clean, in conformity with class SA2.5 of standard EN ISO 8501-1.
The main surface part quality must not contain white rust. White rust on finished part with AS coating can be
accepted on specific configuration only after PSA Materials engineering department agreement. See example of
affected blank and part with white rust on Figure 8 below.

Figure 8 : White rust on blank and finished part

The roughness (Ra criterion) must be between 0.9 and 2.7 microns in the case of uncoated blanks. In the case of
the use of coated AS blank, refer to the 5.1.6.2 paragraph.
5.4.CUTTING BURRS
For cutting produced by mechanical process, burr height on final part must be less than 0.48 mm, except particular
specification indicated to the part drawing.
This value is adapted to the most acceptable height for steel sheet thicknesses lower than 4 mm with 22MnB5
grade before heat treatment. See table 4 class C according to the standard NF E81-010.
For cutting produced by laser process, burr height on final part must be less than 0.3 mm for steel sheet
thicknesses lower than 1.5 mm, and less than 0.5 mm for steel sheet thicknesses bigger than 1.5 mm.
Burr direction must be indicated on CAD 3D definition (important for butt welding, for example).
Some methods of cutting parts may alter the resistance in use of these parts. An agreement must be pronounced
by the department responsible for the part design and by Materials engineering department.

BORON STEEL STAMPED PARTS – HEAT TREATED B10 1130 15/15

5.5.MATERIAL HEALTH
No part is accepted with crack or fracture.
Necking is typical deformation condition located at the tensile limit. A part showing such a defect is therefore greatly
weakened and is not acceptable in this condition.
Maximum possible thinning is 20% except welding surface area where residual thickness must be the most closer
as possible to initial thickness.
Maximum thicking is 20 %, the part must fulfill geometrical tolerances in all cases (see section 5.6).
Double wrinkle (fold) is prohibited.
Repair or geometrical re-surfacing are prohibited.
Additional heat treatment (annealing) on finish part is admitted after PSA Materials engineering department
agreement during engineering development phase. This local modification of mechanical properties must be
indicated on part drawing.
5.6.GEOMETRICAL TOLERANCES
The final part has to be in compliance with the “Part Checking Sheet”.
In the case of uncoated part, the blasting must not affect part geometrical tolerances.
5.7.TEMPORARY PROTECTION
The delivered parts must respect the requirements quality according to the standard B15 6020.
Unless otherwise specified, any hot stamping part carried out starting from uncoated sheet must be oiled with an
approved PSA oil according to the standard B74 6240 and Approved Product Specification for oil approved by PSA
Materials engineering department.
The oil film on the parts must be uniform, with a spread ranging between 1.0 and 1.5 g/m² according to the
standard B15 6020.
The max spread ranging must be compatible with the aptitude for the degraissability according to the test method
D69 1713.
The spread ranging can be controlled by weighing according to the test method D65 1777.
In the case of CKD part, and according to flows, a conditioning with a standard volatile anti-corrosive protection VCI
or protection VCI with additional oiling can be necessary. The definition of this temporary protection is responsibility
for the trade pack packing of the engineering of intercontinental flows and can be able to be the object of the
agreement of the PSA Materials engineering department.
