Research Status of Advanced Hot Forming Technology

Abstract:

For the past decade, BaoSteel has been working on the development of press hardened steels (PHS) and hotforming (HF) technologies, aiming to provide technical package solutions for customers and made some achievements. In this paper, the latest research development on advanced hotforming processes such as patchwork, tailored property, door ring and low-cost short-cycle was introduced.
