Abstract

The paper presents a hot stamping technology of body components in modern passenger cars. The technology guarantees obtaining lightweight drawpieces with high mechanical parameters, which results in a significant reduction in the weight of passenger car bodies, particularly those with an electric drive. The Finite Element Method was used to simulate hot stamping of a large-size drawpiece with an atypical shape. The results of these simulations and experimental tests of a drawpiece have been presented and discussed. Relevant conclusions have been formulated.
