Abstract:Based on the indirect hot-stamping test system, the effect of pre-forming on the microstructure evolution (grain size, dislocation density, martensite phase transformation) and mechanical properties of the blank in indirect hot stamping is systematically studied using ultra-high-strength steel 22MnB5. It is found that the average austenite grain size slightly decreases with the increase in pre-forming. After quenching, the martensite also becomes finer and more uniformly distributed. Although the dislocation d… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
