Hot stamped components; material characterisation, simulation of hot forming process and crash behaviour; experimental results ...
Going through several aspects of the virtual design chain of hot stamped components, the necessary and often critical points and problems related to the material characterisation and to the simulation of the hot forming process and of the crash behaviour are discussed. Then, the experimental results and simulations of hot stamping laboratory tests on two different geometries are shown and analysed in terms of thinning, temperature distribution, microstructure development and final hardness.
