Abstract
Hot stamping uses boron (B) steel to simultaneously form parts at high temperatures while cooling the parts in a mold, which is advantageous because of the ability to freeze the forms. However, compared to conventional cold forming, this technique requires additional facilities that include heating devices and additional time for cooling after forming at high temperatures. Additionally, because of the high strengths of hot stamping parts, shear process operations after molding tend to be difficult to perform as a continuous operation via press processing; thus, most operations depend on separate laser processing, which results in lower productivity and increased manufacturing costs. This limitation continues to be the most significant problem with this technology, therefore, restricting its commercialization because of increased mold manufacturing costs and durability problems. This study investigated a low-cost, high-functionality shear mold manufacturing method for 1.5 GPa grade hot-stamped components using heterogeneous metal additive manufacturing. After the concentrated stress in steel during the shearing processes was analyzed using a multi-physical analysis, metal additive manufacturing was used to fabricate the shear mold. Its life was evaluated through trial molding and compared with that for conventional technology. Finally, the commercialization potential of the newly developed method was assessed.
