Abstract

Hot semi-punching of a quenchable steel sheet was carried out to eliminate laser cutting conventionally used for hot stamping of ultra-high strength steel parts. A quenchable steel sheet is semi-punched without separation of punching scraps during hot stamping, and subsequently, the scraps are removed from the hot-stamped part at room temperature. Additional channels for taking punching scraps out of dies are not required. Minimum remainder without detachment of punching scraps and no clearance between the die and punch were optimal for the hot semi-punching process. The hot punching and cold removing loads of the quenched sheet were considerably smaller than the cold punching load, the quality of the hole edge was high and the delayed fracture around the sheared edge was prevented.
