IntroductionDuring the last decade, hot sheet metal forming technology, better known aspress hardening or hot stamping, has certainly become all pervasive in automotivebody-in-white design. Driven by a strong dem<strong>and</strong> for further improvement<strong>of</strong> energy efficiency <strong>and</strong> passenger safety, today, hot stamping is undoubtedlya sustainable global technology.The expected surge in growth <strong>of</strong> this technology in part production, materialsupply, production equipment etc, has recently encouraged quite a few playersto enter this highly specialized technological scene. Competition has riseninexorably <strong>and</strong> the ability to act globally has certainly become an existentialchallenge.However, it has become clearly understood during these years that press hardeningis an inevitably knowledge-driven technology. Without a proper underst<strong>and</strong>ing<strong>of</strong> the governing thermo-mechanical mechanisms it is perhaps possibleto move along to the “low-end” <strong>of</strong> technology but impossible to reach the“high-end”. Because <strong>of</strong> this, there are some very promising opportunities forSME-companies in reaching <strong>and</strong>/or maintaining their position at the “highend”<strong>of</strong> hot stamping technology <strong>and</strong> to share/benefit from the high level <strong>of</strong>added value. The acquisition <strong>of</strong> substantial knowledge, therefore, constitutesthe main “key” to be successful in the aforementioned sense.Pr<strong>of</strong>.

Module A<strong>Heat</strong>-<strong>Treatment</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Hot</strong> <strong>Forming</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Steel</strong>A1Fundamental Principles <strong>of</strong> <strong>Heat</strong>treatment<strong>of</strong> <strong>Steel</strong>AimA comprehensive underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> the interaction betweenheat, microstructure <strong>and</strong> mechanical properties will beprovided.ContentThe basic principles <strong>of</strong> heat-treatment <strong>of</strong> steel are presentedin a combination <strong>of</strong> seminar <strong>and</strong> practical experience. Theseparticularly concern the fundamental interactions <strong>of</strong> heat,microstructure <strong>and</strong> mechanical properties.Using their acquired knowledge <strong>and</strong> skills, participants will beable to set defined properties for selected steels suitable forheat-treatment processing including determining <strong>and</strong> verifyingthe thermal process parameters hereby provided by means <strong>of</strong>appropriate material testing methods.IIDuration: 4 hours seminar /8 hours practical laboratory internshipA2Fundamental Principles <strong>of</strong> <strong>Hot</strong>Sheet Metal Formation <strong>of</strong> <strong>Steel</strong>A3Integrated Process Control StrategiesAimThe aim <strong>of</strong> this tutorial is to learn about the different processvariations <strong>of</strong> the hot stamping process by focussing at thetechnological view <strong>of</strong> materials as well as the technologicalview <strong>of</strong> processes.ContentA major challenge in the press-hardening process is the safeprocessing <strong>and</strong> efficient interconnection <strong>of</strong> heat treatment <strong>and</strong>forming. The different process variations <strong>of</strong> the hot-stampingprocess, both from a technological view <strong>of</strong> processes, as wellas from a technological view <strong>of</strong> materials, will first be explainedin detail in the seminar presentations. The individualproperties <strong>of</strong> different material processing systems will also befully taken into account. The molding possibilities <strong>of</strong> time <strong>and</strong>locality-variable temperature control strategies, with the aim<strong>of</strong> setting graded component properties, will be comprehensivelycovered. In addition, the influence <strong>of</strong> different materialprocessing systems when in contact with selected tool steels<strong>and</strong> coatings on the tribological system design is considered.This knowledge will then be reinforced in laboratory work experiencepractice on the basis <strong>of</strong> extensive press-hardeningtrials. Questions will also be addressed on the selection <strong>of</strong> appropriatemethods <strong>of</strong> thermal process control.AimKnowledge on special features <strong>of</strong> the process <strong>of</strong> hot-stampingbody panels will be provided.ContentThe basics <strong>of</strong> steel forming processes at high temperatureare provided by means <strong>of</strong> seminar presentations <strong>and</strong>practical experience in a laboratory. The basic mechanisms<strong>of</strong> plastic molding will also be taken into account, in additionto considering the temperature dependence <strong>of</strong> formability<strong>and</strong> flow stress. Similarly, questions about high temperaturetribology will be h<strong>and</strong>led.By means <strong>of</strong> the foundation training provided, participants willbe in a position to fully comprehend <strong>and</strong> consider the specialfeatures <strong>of</strong> the process <strong>of</strong> hot-stamping body panels, <strong>and</strong>h<strong>and</strong>ling these adequately under real processing conditions.IIDuration: 4 hours seminar /4 hours practical laboratory internshipParticipants will acquire the ability to reliably h<strong>and</strong>le <strong>and</strong> utilizethe latest material processing systems, which are essential forthe press-hardening <strong>of</strong> body panels, under mass productionconditions.I I Duration: 4 hours seminar /8 hours practical laboratory internship6
