Effect of the Martensitic Transformation on the Stamping Force and Cycle Time of Hot Stamping Parts

Stamping dies perform two functions in the hot stamping process of body-in-white components. Firstly, they form the steel sheet into the desired shape and, secondly, they quench the steel at a cooling rate that leads to hardening by means of the austenite-γ to martensite transformation. Th...
