Effect of the thickness reduction of specimens on the limit strains in thermomechanical tensile tests for hot-stamping studies

Sheet metal formability under hot stamping conditions has been evaluated using a novel planar testing system developed previously, being used within a Gleeble machine. Nevertheless, the specimen design with the central recess was not standardised, and the thickness reduction was not applied to the d...
