Producing a partially hardened formed part

A process of producing a partially hardened metallic formed part comprises: heating a semi-finished product of hardenable hot-formable steel sheet to a hardening temperature; hot-forming the heated semi-finished product in a combined hot-forming cutting device into a three-dimensional formed part; cutting the formed part in the combined hot-forming cutting device; pressure-hardening the formed part in the hot-forming cutting device into a hardened formed part such that a first partial region is hardened by rapid cooling and that a second partial region of the formed part is heat-treated so as to comprise a greater ductility and a lower strength than the first partial region, wherein the operation of cutting the formed part takes place at least in one of the first and second partial region. A combined hot-forming cutting device can be used to produce a metallic formed part.

Method for monitoring quality of hot stamped components

A controller alters a cycle time of a die arrangement, configured to hot stamp metal into components and having an active cooling system, based on an amount of heat transferred from the components to the active cooling system such that a grain structure of the components transitions from an austenitic state to a martensitic state.

Resiliently mounted, segmented hot forming tool and method for producing a hot formed and press-hardened steel component having a sharply defined transition region

A hot forming tool includes a top tool and a bottom tool, both of which can be moved towards each other. When the hot forming tool is closed, a mold cavity is formed between the top tool and the bottom tool, with the top tool and/or the bottom tool being divided into at least two segments. The hot forming tool has one segment designed as a heating segment. The heating segment includes a compensating element on a side thereof opposite the mold cavity, to compensate for a thermal expansion of the heating segment in the press stroke direction.

METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING CONTAINER AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING CONTAINER

A method of manufacturing a container made of metal, including a bottom portion and a body portion, being open on an upper face side, and having a shape in which the body portion expands outward toward the upper face side. The method includes a stretch forming step of expanding a diameter of a stepped cup body made of metal by operating a diameter expanding punch having a tapered pressing portion that is smaller in diameter than an inner diameter of the large-diameter cylindrical portion and larger in diameter than an inner diameter of the small-diameter cylindrical portion of the stepped cup body along a cylindrical axis direction from an opening side of the large-diameter cylindrical portion, in which the stretch forming step is performed at least once.

Press forming method

The present invention is a press forming method for obtaining a target formed article that has an edge-shaped ridge section and that has a negative surface on one side and a positive surface on the other side with respect to the ridge section as a border, said press forming method including: a first step for forming an intermediate formed article having an intermediate ridge section having a larger radius than the edge radius of the ridge section; and a second step for forming the target formed article from the intermediate formed article. The intermediate formed article has a first intermediate positive surface that corresponds to the site extending from the ridge section to the negative surface of the target formed article and also has a second intermediate positive surface that corresponds to the site extending from the ridge section to the positive surface of the target formed article and that continues from the first intermediate positive surface and an intermediate negative surface continuing from the second intermediate positive surface.
