Hot stamping is a well-established and frequently used manufacturing process in automotive body construction. The number of components manufactured in this way is continuously increasing. Hot stamping is used to produce components with a completely martensitic structure, resulting in high strength and hardness. These components are mainly used in s...

... investigate the influence of the described temperature fluctuation during the heating process, both the furnace-heated and the resistance-heated sheets are subsequently hot-stamped, and hardness tests were carried out. The results of the hardness tests are listed in Table 2. The values obtained show that both furnace-heated and resistance-heated specimens are completely hardened and have a hardness above 450 HV. ...Similar publications
In this work, an electrical–thermal–mechanical coupled finite element (FE) model for resistance spot welding (RSW) process is developed to achieve a simultaneous simulation of not only nugget growth but also process signals including dynamic resistance and electrode displacement. The model entails a multi-objective optimization problem of hard-to-m...
Water cavitation micro-forming (WCMF) with high quantum efficiency and excellent accuracy are essential for the applications in micro-forming. In this study, based on the size effects, an effective regulation of the cavitation micro-forming was realized. Surprisingly, micro-forming of graded 2 titanium ultra-thin metallic sheets was retained at fie...

The study of the behavior of thin metal sheets subjected to external loads has always been a matter of great interest due to its numerous theoretical and practical implications. The present analysis aims to investigate how to improve the predictions offered by a numerical model based on the finite element method by considerations on the material pr...

To increase productivity when joining galvanised sheet metal, metal inert gas (MIG) and tungsten inert gas (TIG) arc brazing are combined in a hybrid process. This coupling of two arc processes increases brazing speed and reduces weld reinforcement and the tendency to spatter. Because the arcs are 6 mm apart, they influence each other. Therefore, t...

The manganese-boron alloy 22MnB5 is particularly used for structural and safety-relevant parts in the automotive industry. Parts made from this alloy are usually produced using the hot forming process. Here, the sheet is heated to over 950 °C using an industrial roller hearth furnace. The heated sheet is then simultaneously formed and quenched in a cooled tool with a temperature gradient of more than 27 K/s. This leads to the formation of a martensitic microstructure with a hardness value of over 450 HV10 and an elongation at break of less than 6%. The small strain potential of such components makes them difficult to form after hot-stamping. Due to the high temperature gradients of resistance heating, a sheet can be heat-treated locally without a large temperature transition zone. This can be used to locally soften already hot-stamped components for subsequent operations such as bending. Within the scope of this paper, resistance heating is used to soften a hot-stamped 22MnB5+AlSi sheet stripe of 3 mm width. The sheet could consequently be bent over an angle of 90° without cracking the substrate.
