Ultra-High Strength Steel Hot Stamping Technology and Devices

Abstract:

Ultra High Strength Steel (UHSS) hot stamping technology is a special process which can enhance the steel tensile strength to 1500MPa. Appling this technology in producing vehicle structure parts can make car lighter and safer. In China there are more and more automobile enterprises adopt this technology. To master and extend the skill, China Academy of Machinery Science & Technology (CAM) have done systematic research, such as the strengthen mechanism of the steel, hot stamping key devices designing, forming and quenching integrated mould designing, stamping process parameters optimization, etc.. By now, CAM has mastered the mass production technology of vehicle parts, which can guarantee its shape and tensile strength, and produced such typical parts as door-beam, B pillar, etc.. The paper is an introduction of the research work and achievement about UHSS hot stamping developed by CAM.
