Which restriction applies to repairing hot formed boron steel members?

  • A.They may be straightened cold but must not be welded, since the heat of welding destroys the properties present
  • B.No restriction applies
  • C.They may be heated to a low temperature to assist straightening provided that the heat is applied only briefly
  • D.They must be replaced rather than straightened or heated

Answer: D

The martensitic structure produced by hot forming and quenching is destroyed by any subsequent heating, and the material has too little ductility to be straightened cold. Manufacturers therefore specify complete replacement of such members at defined sectioning points. Repairing them incorrectly leaves a structure that will not perform as designed in a subsequent collision. The shared properties explain why these belong to one family, and the differences explain why more than one exists.
