A press forming tool is configured to form a press forming part including: a top portion; a side wall portion having a recessed portion in which a bottom edge is recessed toward the top portion; and a flange portion formed outward on a bottom edge of the side wall portion, the recessed portion including a first curved portion continuous with the bottom edge being a portion having a large wall depth, an inclined side portion continuous with the first curved portion, a second curved portion continuous with the inclined side portion, and a recessed side portion having a small wall depth, arranged in order from the bottom edge being a portion having a large wall depth, the flange portion being formed such that the flange portion formed in the first curved portion becomes a shrink flange while the flange portion formed in the second curved portion becomes a stretch flange.

A hot press-forming method includes a forming step that clamps a steel sheet heated to a temperature not less than an austenite transformation temperature and press-forms the steel sheet into a desired shape by causing a forming concave of a die and a convex of a punch to be close to each other. A formed portion has side and top portions that merge. The side portion rises up from an inner circumferential edge of a flange portion having been clamped by the die and the blank holder. A cooling step cools a region of the steel sheet after the heating step has been completed and before the forming step is completed. The particular region is along an inter-edge area formed between an opening circumferential edge of the forming concave and a top circumferential edge of the forming convex before the forming step is completed.

A stamping apparatus that includes an upper die, a blank-holding binder, and fixed lower die. The fixed lower die features a drawing punch and the upper die features a corresponding cavity. The fixed lower die includes a stake bead and a corresponding depression is present on the upper die. The blank-holding binder includes a draw bead and a corresponding depression is present on the upper die. In the stamping process, the draw bead engages a blank in a first stage, causing the blank to begin to stretch into the shape of the drawing punch with a greater tightened partially finished panel shape. In a second stage, the draw bead disengages the blank as the blank is drawn towards the drawing punch. In a final stage, the stake bead engages the blank to tighten the blank around the drawing punch into a final shape.
