The hot stamping process of ultra high strength steel(UHSS) sheet is an innovative way to manufacture the components with a ultra high tensile strength. The sufficiency of martensitic transformation in formed component is affected by pre-heating temperature of blank directly. In this paper, experiments of heating UHSS blanks to 700°C, 800°C, 900°C and 1000°C were implemented to investigate the effect of pre-heating temperature on the formed component’s microstructure and mechanical properties. The results indicate that 900°C is the best pre-heating temperature for hot stamping process. The microstructure of formed component is all fine and uniform martensite. Meanwhile, tensile strength and vickers hardness raise up to 1580MPa and 450HV, respectively.

The numerical simulation of hot-stamping process was carried out for UHSS square-cup parts, and the influence of dies temperature on the hot-stamping process was anlysised. Besides, through the microstructure analysis and mechanical properties testing of the formed parts, effects of dies temperature on microstructures and mechanical properties of hot-stamping square-cup parts were obtained. The experiment and simulation results showed that the mechanical properties of the UHSS are strongly dependent on the temperature, so the dies temperature is one of the most important parameters that have to be taken into account in designing the hot-forming dies and the hot-forming process.

The quenchable boron steel is a novel type of ultra high strength steel used for automotive parts so as to reduce the weight of the whole automobile. The hot stamping processing experiments for bending parts were studied. The influence of the hot stamping processing parameters, such as the heating temperature, the heat holding time and the cooling water flow velocity, on the mechanics properties and microstructure of the hot stamping parts is obtained. And then the optimal ranges of these parameters are determined, which provides a basis for the control of the hot stamping process applied in complicated shape parts’ production.

Ultra High Strength Steel (UHSS) hot stamping technology is a special process which can enhance the steel tensile strength to 1500MPa. Appling this technology in producing vehicle structure parts can make car lighter and safer. In China there are more and more automobile enterprises adopt this technology. To master and extend the skill, China Academy of Machinery Science & Technology (CAM) have done systematic research, such as the strengthen mechanism of the steel, hot stamping key devices designing, forming and quenching integrated mould designing, stamping process parameters optimization, etc.. By now, CAM has mastered the mass production technology of vehicle parts, which can guarantee its shape and tensile strength, and produced such typical parts as door-beam, B pillar, etc.. The paper is an introduction of the research work and achievement about UHSS hot stamping developed by CAM.

Recently, tubular-type coupled torsion beam axle, which is a component of the automotive rear suspension systems, has been developed by using ultra-high strength steel. It is manufactured by hot stamping process to enhance the strength and reduce springback. The hot stamping process is classified as a direct method and an indirect method according to forming sequence and quenching method, so-called die quenching or water quenching. Each of these methods has limitations in the aspect of dimensional accuracy and strength. Hybrid quenching is a new quenching method which sprays water to the tube directly in addition to die quenching. In this study, direct hot stamping with hybrid quenching was applied to produce an automotive tubular coupled torsion beam axle of ultra-high strength steel. This study proposes a simulation method of hybrid quenching for tubular beam and the hybrid quenching method was evaluated experimentally. Finally, the proposed hybrid quenching method has been found very effective in reducing the cooling time and thermal deformation.

Aiming at the need for lightweight requirements of the electric bus components, combined with the performance advantages of the hot stamping ultra-high strength steel, a new type of seat bracket structure is proposed. The new structure was analyzed by finite element method and the variable density topology optimization results. Subsequently, the new seat bracket was manufactured by the indirect hot stamping process. The results showed that the new type of seat bracket can reduce the weight by 17.04% after topology optimization, which achieved the goal of lightweight design of the structure. After indirect hot stamping, the bottom of the seat bracket microstructures were mainly martensite and the ultimate tensile strength was about 1560 MPa, the microhardness was equally distributed at about 513.5 HV. Finally, according to the stiffness check test, the seat bracket satisfied the user requirements.
