Influence of Hot Press Forming Techniques on Properties of Vehicle High Strength Steels Original Research Article

Based on the combination of materials science and mechanical engineering, hot press forming process of the vehicle high strength steels was analyzed. The hot forming process included: heating alloys rapidly to austenite microstructures, stamping and cooling timely, maintaining pressure and quenching. The results showed that most of austenite microstructure was changed into uniform martensite by the hot press forming while the samples were heated at 900 °C and quenched. The optimal tensile strength and yield strength were up to 1530 MPa and 1000 MPa, respectively, and the shape deformation reached about 23%. And springback defect did not happen in the samples.
