Resistance heating performance in some shaped blanks of high-strength steel sheet is examined by experiment and FE simulation, and the feasibility and effectiveness of the application of resistance heating to the hot press forming of high-strength steel sheet are discussed. The followings are made clear through this study. (1) A uniformly distributed current density is essential to uniform blank heating. (2) For a certain shaped blank, no matter how the electrodes are disposed, uniform blank heating is difficult. (3) A blank shape suitable for uniform heating by a single pair of parallel electrodes is restricted to a rectangle.(4) In case a uniformly heated blank is required, two-piece simultaneous forming with point-symmetric die layout is recommended from the viewpoint of material utilization.

There has been a growing usage of high strength steels (HSS), particularly in automobile applications mainly as structural parts in view of their light weight and high strength properties. These materials are also being considered for dynamic applications. However, the multi-phase microstructure, which is at the base of the strengthening mechanisms in most of these steels, leads to unacceptably high stresses during forming and significant springback phenomena, thus making traditional sheet metal forming technologies unsuitable. To avoid the disadvantages, a new process method was introduced – Hot Press Forming. Hot press forming (HPF) process is a forming method which can provide various advantages such as excellent mechanical properties and formability, good weldability and little springback. Here, the experiment parameters which include locations of the cooling holes and the flow rate of the cooling water play an important role in the HPF process. In this paper, the Al-Si coated boron steel sheet was researched by heating it up to 930oC for 5 min and formed by a hydraulic press. In this study, microstructural evolutions and the associated mechanical properties were investigated in terms of the flow rates of the cooling water.

The automotive industry always had a determining role in the whole economy. In sheet metal forming both the material and the technological developments are strongly affected by the development tendencies in car manufacturing. One of the main trends in today’s car manufacturing is to apply light weight construction principles to meet the increased customers’ demand and legal requirements. In this respect, application of high strength steels is regarded as one of the most promising possibilities. Applying high strength steels has a very positive response for many requirements: increasing strength results in the application of thinner sheets leading to significant mass reduction and simultaneously to lower consumption and less harmful emissions however it also leads to formability problems. Hot press forming is one of the most successful solutions to overcome these difficulties. In this paper, a general overview of hot press forming processes will be summarised.
