Abstract

In this study, the effects of C and Mn contents on the evolution of microstructures in hot stamping processes have been investigated to find an alloy design for steels suitable for highly productive advanced hot stamping processes. A steel containing 0.28% C and 3% Mn was found suitable for advanced hot stamping technology and this steel shows a tensile strength of more than 2000MPa. An appropriate microstructural control of such steel exhibited a good strength-toughness balance and a high resistance to delayed fracture.
