Due to the deep drawing structure and box-shaped design in hot stamping, the typical ultra-high strength steel B-pillar was reasonably optimized to eliminate wrinkles in big end, assure the blank in the right position and meet the requirements of assembly. The finite element inverse algorithm was used to reverse the original blank of optimized part and production experiments of full-scaled part were performed to analyze the effect of optimized blank on the forming process.

A hot spline forming process of die-quenched gear drums using resistance heating of a side wall of a cup formed by cold deep drawing and ironing was developed. The side wall having uniform cross-sectional area is resistance-heated by passage of the current in the axial direction, the heated side wall of the drawn cup is ironed and is finally die-quenched. The gear drum was successfully formed and the hardness was between 400 and 500 HV. Not only the formability was improved but also the formed dram was hardly oxidised because of rapid resistance heating.

During the hot stamping of ultra-high strength steel (UHSS), the quenching effect of the mold on the sheet plays an important role to achieve the transition from austenite to martensite. Thus a finite element model for the quenching process of UHSS is established in this paper. The key points of the model include contact thermal conduction and the latent heat processing of phase transforming. Finite element program has been developed to calculate the temperature field of the UHSS quenching process, and temperature measurement device was used to get the temperature-time curve of the mold and the sheet to validate the calculation results. It can be concluded that the latent heat and thermal contact resistance have a critical influence on the temperature filed of the sheet during the hot stamping process. Finally, the parallel computation technology based on GPU(Graphics processing unit) was adopted to accelerate the calculation.

The door beam inside the car door is an key component to improve the security of passengers, most great automobile manufacturing companies use ultra-high strength steel plate to manufacture it,however, it is very difficult to form in room temperature,so commonly it is made by hot stamping but the cost is too high. This article gives a solution to deal with this problem by the use of FEM software in simulating and optimizing the forming process of one kind of ultra-high strength steel door beam in room temperature, and main study is in the influence of temperature on internal organization changes of the ultra-high strength sheet and springback by comparing the simulation result and real sample, and meanwhile convex roofs are added in the addendum to optimize the surface. It is helpful on how to design die face in manufacturing the related ultra-high strength steel parts.

To research the key factor that affect on material characteristic of hot stamping, this paper studied the spring-back problem of hot forming of the ultra-high strength steel, "U" shaped part by using the combination method of numerical simulation and experimental verification. By obtaining the data of BR1500 HS isothermal tensile test, it established a "U" shaped part of thermal-mechanical coupled model which is based on ABAQUS to analyze the influences of forming speed and holding time on the forming properties. Simulation analysis showed that: When the forming speed of sheet metal is faster than 35mm/s, the rebound value is small, and further increase has no significant effect on the rebound; after holding 6s, the temperature quenching would become stable. The results verify the reliability of the finite element model. Also the study has provided a theoretical basis for determining the process parameters of the type of steel hot forming.

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.
