Abstract
The automotive industry always had a determining role in the whole economy. In sheet metal forming both the material and the technological developments are strongly affected by the development tendencies in car manufacturing. One of the main trends in today’s car manufacturing is to apply light weight construction principles to meet the increased customers’ demand and legal requirements. In this respect, application of high strength steels is regarded as one of the most promising possibilities. Applying high strength steels has a very positive response for many requirements: increasing strength results in the application of thinner sheets leading to significant mass reduction and simultaneously to lower consumption and less harmful emissions however it also leads to formability problems. Hot press forming is one of the most successful solutions to overcome these difficulties. In this paper, a general overview of hot press forming processes will be summarised.
