Numerical Simulation of Hot Stamping of Front Bumper
LS-DYNA software was adopted to conduct research of numerical simulation on hot stamping of front bumper to calculate the temperature field distribution, stress field distribution, FLD figure and etc. of parts in the course of hot stamping so as to predict and analyze the formability of parts. ProCAST software was employed to conduct research of numerical simulation on solid quenching course concerning hot stamping to calculate temperature field distribution of tools and component of multiple stamping cycles; Based on the simulation,the hot stamping mould was developed,and the front bumper components of hot forming were stamped, Compared the test results with the simulation, both the results coincide basically with same variation trend .Results obtain from numerical simulation can provide significant reference value to hot stamping part design, formability predication and tools cooling channel system design.
