In this work the formability of a high strength aluminium alloy (AA7075-T6) for the stamping
of an automotive component has been studied. Due to the low formability of the selected …

The measurement and control of the heat transfer of sheet alloys in successive non-
isothermal forming cycles is crucial to achieve the desired post-form properties and …

The in-die quenching is a key stage in the hot stamping volume production chain which
determines the post-formed strength of lightweight alloy components, tool life, and hot …

This study addresses the significant gap in the literature regarding the heat transfer
coefficient (HTC) under near-solidus forming (NSF) conditions, where materials are shaped …

The heat transfer between Al-Mg-Si alloy and die steel during warm or hot forming process
is of great influence on the temperature and stress fields of product. The interfacial heat …

Several vehicle platforms involving the hot stamping of manufactured parts are launched
every year. Mass production represents a key step in the manufacturing process of an actual …

Different initial blank temperatures, or forming temperatures, are applied in hot and warm
aluminium stamping processes depending on the component being formed and the desired …

The adequate filling and quenching of small corner features are major challenges in
manufacturing complex-shaped boron steel tubular parts during the hot metal gas forming …

Forging at near solidus material state takes advantage of the high ductility of the material at
the semi solid or soft-solid state while keeping most of the mechanical properties of a forged …

Stamping dies perform two functions in the hot stamping process of body-in-white
components. Firstly, they form the steel sheet into the desired shape and, secondly, they …
