Effect of Dies Temperature on Mechanical Properties of Hot Stamping Square-Cup Part for Ultra High Strength Steel

Abstract:

The numerical simulation of hot-stamping process was carried out for UHSS square-cup parts, and the influence of dies temperature on the hot-stamping process was anlysised. Besides, through the microstructure analysis and mechanical properties testing of the formed parts, effects of dies temperature on microstructures and mechanical properties of hot-stamping square-cup parts were obtained. The experiment and simulation results showed that the mechanical properties of the UHSS are strongly dependent on the temperature, so the dies temperature is one of the most important parameters that have to be taken into account in designing the hot-forming dies and the hot-forming process.
