Abstract

As to the conventional hot stamping furnance’s shortcomings of long heating time, easy oxidized, high energy consumption, the application of induction heating for hot stamping were studied. By using COMSOL Multiphysics software, we calculated the electromagnetic induction field and temperature field by use of the direct coupling (Direct Coupling Method) in the heating process of hot forming sheet and studied the influence of inductor device parameters (such as induction length, distance between inductor and sheet etc.) and various process parameters (such as the power supply frequency, current density, sheet thickness etc.) on heating rate and temperature distribution. That will have a good guidance on the application of induction heating to hot stamping field.
