Title
Experimental investigation of tailored hot stamping parts
It is known that tailored hot stamped parts, which have locally graded properties, can improve car crashworthiness. In this experimental study, a heated tool was used to decrease the temperature difference between the hot blank and the tool which led to lower cooling rates and softer properties. First, a flat heated tool was used to investigate the effects of process parameters on metallurgical and mechanical properties. Based on the range of parameters examined, press force and quenching time did not have a significant effect on the post-formed mechanical properties. In the next step, a hatshaped channel tool with heating system was used to produce tailored hot stamping parts. The results show considerable differences between hardness values of the top and side faces in the soft section, while the hardness was almost uniform in the hard section. These experimental results generally compare well with the results of previous numerical parametric studies performed by the authors, which identified less robustness of the tailored hot stamping process compared to conventional hot stamping.
