Localized Austenitizing of the Blank to Make Tailored-Properties by Induction Heating

Abstract:

In this research, a novel hot stamping process to make tailored-properties is proposed. The local areas of blank are heated by induction heating. In the high strength zones, they are heated to austenitizing temperature, and in the absorption zones without heating. The temperature field of transition zone is determined by the thermal conduction between austenitizing temperature and ambient temperature. This novel process can be used for industrialization without changing mold design and stamping process.
