Thermo-Mechanical Forming Analysis and Mapping of Material Properties in Press Hardened Components with Tailored Material Properties

Abstract:

A finite element model for failure prediction has been used for axial compression simulation of a front side member beam with tailored material properties. A corresponding experiment has been performed. The numerical simulation is divided into forming, mapping and axial compression. The coupled thermo-mechanical hot stamping simulation includes an austenite decomposition model that accounts for carbon segregation. In the mapping step, the phase composition is first mapped and then translated into global stress-strain curves and failure parameters using two different models. An elastic-viscoplastic material model including mesh size dependent localization and crack initiation with a ductile and shear fracture model is used in the axial compression simulation. The simulation shows acceptable agreement with the experimental results.
