Comparison of Thinning Features of a Hot and Cold Stamped Aluminium B-Pillar Model for Passenger Cars

Article Preview

Abstract:

To overcome low formability and springback problems in forming aluminium panel parts, a novel process of hot stamping is introduced in this paper. It is good plasticity and low deformation resistance when aluminum alloys under high temperature, which makes it possible to form complex parts such as B pillars. Finite element method is used to analysis the thinning regions in this part, it can be acquired that the quality of the part in hot stamping is better than in cold stamping.
