Abstract

Hot stamping is a forming process widely used in the manufacturing of structural components in automobiles. It is a versatile process that enables the fabrication of complex-shaped components with high strength. It also facilitates the manufacturing of components that incorporate high-strength sections and high-ductility sections, by controlling the cooling rate. The process is versatile in terms of the microstructures and mechanical properties that can be obtained. This versatility, however, puts high demands on the materials pertaining their stability, wear resistance, costs, etc. This study has focused on understanding the effect of temperature on the tribological response of different tool materials when these are exposed to high temperatures. The results show that friction significantly stabilises with increased temperature for most tool steels. One tool steel behaves more unstably at high temperature, and this is attributed to the presence of Cr7C3, MoO3, and VO and severe wear on the workpiece material. The most severe wear on the workpiece is caused by a partially melted interdiffusion layer, which facilitates the detachment of the Al-Si coating and subsequent transfer onto the tool; this effect is maximised at the highest temperatures of the workpiece. An important finding is that friction and material transfer severity decrease as the workpiece temperature decreases, and friction is stabilised as tool temperature increases without minimising wear or the average friction coefficient.
