Controlled residual austenite and bainite-martensite grain boundaries let hot-stamped steel reach 1500 MPa while improving formability and crash behavior.
Residual austenite and bainite-tempered martensite help hot-stamped steel keep formability while improving collision strength and bendability.
A fast gravity-assisted stroke followed by slower powered closure forms complex aluminum sheet parts on conventional hydraulic presses without costly upgrades.
Preheating T4 aluminum blanks before stamping enables complex 3D vehicle parts to reach near-T6 strength without post-heat treatment or machining.
Localized heating softens selected AHSS zones during stamping, improving flanging and trimming while reducing tool wear and edge cracking.
A multi-zone nitrogen furnace prevents oxidation during austenitizing, removing coating and descaling steps while preserving strength and ductility.
Selective shielding during sheet heating creates region-specific temperatures and microstructures for hot-formed vehicle parts.
