You’ll find most of this content as part of our page on Press Hardening Steel Grades, but this month, we want to highlight it in our AHSS Insights blog. Thanks to Eren Billur, Ph.D., President, Billur Metal Form, for providing this information. What...
Introduction PHS Grades with Tensile Strength Approximately 1500 MPa Grades with Higher Ductility PHS Grades Over 1500 MPa Other Steels for Press Hardening Process Stainless steels Medium-Mn steels Composite steels Introduction Press hardening steels (PHS) are...
PHS and PQS Overview A Brief Overview of Press Hardening Press hardening (also commonly known as hot stamping or hot press forming) combines forming and heat treatment technology to create high strength complex shapes. Elevated temperature allows for production...
Introduction Laser Welded Tailored Blanks (Tailor Welded Blanks) Tailor Rolled Blanks Patchwork Blanks Tailored Properties Introduction Some automotive components may require higher stiffness, strength, or energy absorbing capacity in a confined local area. One...

Overview Uncoated Blanks Aluminium-Based Coatings Zinc-Based Coatings Varnish Coatings Overview The initial press hardening steels of the 1970s were delivered bare, without a galvanized or aluminized layer for corrosion protection (i.e., uncoated). During the...
This studyR-25, conducted by the Centre for Advanced Materials Joining, Department of Mechanical & Mechatronics Engineering, University of Waterloo, and ArcelorMittal Global Research, utilized 2mm thick 22MnB5 steel with three different coating thicknesses, given...
Motivation for PHS usage Brief History of PHS Usage and Milestones Before the First Automotive Application (1973-1984) More Automotive Applications (1984-2005) Accelerated Use and Globalization (Since 2005) PHS Use in xEVs: Hybrid Electric, Battery Electric, Plug-in...
Forming simulation of cold forming processes has matured to the point where most commercial simulation software packages easily predict global formability concerns such as necking failures. The strain distribution and final mechanical properties in the formed part...
