A Study on the Effect of Process and Material Variables on the Hot Stamping Formability of Automotive Body Parts
Hot stamping is a method capable of manufacturing high-strength automotive body parts by inducing a martensitic phase transformation through forming and die quenching after heating a metal sheet into a high temperature austenite phase. However, it is not easy to solve various formability problems oc...

Additionally, forming analysis was performed on the hot stamping process of mass-produced B-pillar parts by varying the temperature of the sheet blank, the thickness of the sheet blank, the die-blank friction coefficient, and the strain-rate sensitivity of material among various process and material variables. Based on the analysis results, the effect of each process and material variable on the hot stamping formability of B-pillar parts was quantitatively analyzed. By utilizing the results of this study, it will be possible to solve the formability problem that occurs in the mass-production hot stamping process for automotive body parts and improve the quality of parts in the future.https://www.mdpi.com/2075-4701/11/7/1029hot stampingformabilityforming limitmartensiteB-pillarforming analysis |

In this study, fracture-related forming limits and martensite phase ratio were selected as criteria for evaluating hot stamping formability.
