Hot Stamping of Load Adjusted Structural Parts

A review on hot stamping

The production of high strength steel components with desired properties by hot stamping (also called press hardening) requires a profound knowledge and control of the forming procedures. In this way, the final part properties become predictable and adjustable on the basis of the different process parameters and their interaction. In addition to parameters of conventional cold forming, thermal ...

Coupled numerical simulation of hot stamping process and experimental verification

Hot stamping process is a high non-linear process showing the effect on thermal, mechanical and metallurgical phenomena as they relate to each other. In order to carry out this coupled numerical simulation, fundamental thermal properties such as interfacial heat transfer coefficient and convection heat transfer coefficient as well as crucial mechanics properties were first investigated. Hot sta...

Investigation of hot metal gas forming process of square parts

Aluminum alloys are considered a lot in the automotive and aerospace industry because of their high strength to weight ratio. In this manuscript, the gas forming process of aluminum AA6063 tubes at high temperatures up to 500°C is investigated, through experimental and numerical tests. Therefore, an experimental setup is prepared and so, tube specimens are formed in a die with square cross sect...

5 Calculations for Structures under Mechanical Load – Examples of Geometrically Simple Structural Parts under Static Loads

The mechanical properties of polymeric materials, especially those of thermoplastics, depend to a much greater extent on temperature, time, and on the magnitude and nature of an applied load than those of metals. In addition, many environmental effects, such as UV radiation or exposure to certain chemicals, play a significant role in aging and related changes in properties. This can be difficul...
