BUMPER LOWER STIFFENER WITH IMPROVED PERFORMANCE USING ULTRA HIGH STRENGTH STEEL PIPE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a bumper lower stiffener formed at the lower portion of the front bumper of a vehicle and a manufacturing method thereof. More specifically, the present invention relates to a bumper lower stiffener manufactured using a steel pipe formed by hot pressing and a manufacturing method thereof. The present invention provides a method for manufacturing the horizontal member of the bumper lower stiffener, which includes a cutting step of cutting a steel pipe added with quenching elements at a predetermined length; a heat treatment step of heating the cut steel pipe at a molding temperature; a hot pressing step of hot-pressing the heated steel pipe with press molds into the shape of the horizontal member having plane surface sections at the both sides thereof; and a cooling step of rapidly cooling the formed horizontal member in the state that the press molds are closed.
