The invention relates to a hot metal gas forming and quenching system. The system involves a hydraulic machine, a die assembly, a rapid heating module and a rapid cooling module, wherein the die assembly comprises a progressive die, and hot gas forming and rapid cooling of a workpiece can be achieved. The invention further provides a hot metal gas forming and quenching process. The hot metal gas forming and quenching system has the following advantages that 1, a pipe is manufactured by adopting an uncoated plate, so that the cost is lower, and the structure defects and the process risk are less than those of a pipe made of a coated and plated metal plate; 2, the progressive die is adopted, a resistance heating procedure and a hot gas forming and quenching procedure are achieved at the sametime in parallel, and progressive feeding is adopted, so that the takt is fast, and the efficiency is greatly improved; 3, the heating state of a part is protected in the whole process, oxidation isprevented, a coating is not needed, and the workpiece can be directly welded to a vehicle body without shot blasting after being formed, so that the cost is greatly saved; and 4, safety protection measures with directional damage are adopted, so that the safety is improved.
