HOT-FORMING PROCESS TO IMPROVE PRODUCT STRENGTH & REDUCE VEHICLE WEIGHT

Mr. Yuvraj R. Patil, Mr. Sudhir Narkhede


Hot-Forming process to improve product Strength & Reduce Vehicle Weight up to 30% to 50% as compared to conventional cold forming grades. Hot stamped components with full marten site exhibit high tensile strength and hardness, but the poor ductility restricts their application on some components, such as A pillar, B pillar, which needs multi strength in different regions. It is important to partly achieve softer structure with more ductility, to increase the crashworthiness and sudden impact absorption of the whole component and such that improving the safety performance. This work define the hot forming of high strength steel with tailored properties by applying different die temperatures and annealing processes.
