Characterization of the impact of relevant process parameters on the heat transfer and the resulting mechanical properties using multi-phase steel grades

In the field of tailored hot stamping, the HTC has been calculated processing dual phase and complex phase steels, both varying quenching temperature on one part of the tool and contact pressure, in order to achieve tailored properties. Additionally the work aimed at finding out the features developed in the transition zone, where the steel changes its properties because of the different applied conditions, namely water high conductivity and heatable low conductivity die steel
