800MPa grade Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS), including Complex Phase steel CP800 and Ferrite-Bainite steel FB800, were chosen to test the forming performance in different test conditions and compared with the reference traditional high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels HR700LA. Tensile test, hole expansion (HE) test, and HAT shape stamping test were taken to investigate the forming performance of the materials. Test results indicated that the studied 800MPa grade AHSS showed a better strength ductility balance compared with the reference steel. Among all the steels researched, FB800 showed the best hole expansion ratio (HER), and CP800 the worst. Springback angles of AHSS after HAT shape stamping tests were markedly smaller than those of HR700LA steels, though the springback angles of HR700LA decreased continuously with blank holding force (BHF) increasing. Steel FB800, CP800S and CP800B had much better shape stability compared with steels HR700LA. AHSS showed much smaller springback behavior under the same stamping condition, especially for steels CP800-B, FB800-2 and FB800-1. When increasing the BHF to 100KN, AHSS showed the largest springback deformation. Among the three kinds of CP800 steels researched, steel CP800-B indicated outstanding springback restrain trend in BHF further increasing attempt. So, springback behavior could be restricted obviously by using a larger BHF in AHSS CP800B forming operations.
