Hot Stamping Technology Applied on Vehicles on EuroCarBody

Abstract:

EuroCarBody, offer the most important forum for defining and discussing the state of the art in modern series car body engineering. The present paper concerns the materials of press hardened steels and its’ manufacturing technology (Hot stamping) applied on vehicle on EuroCarBody from 2009 to 2013 through presentations and benchmark datas. The using percentage of press hardening steels (PHS) on body in white (BIW) are summarized and analyzied. It can be noted that the number and weight of BIW parts using of press hardening steels are increasing from 2009 to 2013, some kind of vehicle, such as Audi A3, the using percentage of PHS reaches 21.6%. The press hardening steels have started used on commercial vehicle from EuroCarBody 2013. More and more new technologies applied on hot stamping processing, such as Joule heating for hot stamping, Hot-form-process partial tempering, Tailor Rolled Blank (TRB) technolgy, etc. With the developing of the automotive industry, more and more hot forming parts will be applied on vehicles in the future.
