Abstract
ABSTRACT Hot stamping is an effective method to improve both the elongation and plasticity of ultra-high strength steels, thus a higher specific strength could be achieved, making it possible for weight reduction in motor vehicles. However, due to the die temperature rise and the cooling liquid within hot stamping applications, the friction in its forming stage is always a non-isothermal mode. Therefore, a high-temperature sliding-on-sheet-strip (SOSS) tribo-tester to simulate sliding friction in hot stamping of 22MnB5 hot stamping steel sheet was designed and custom-made. Then, it was employed to exploit High-temperature friction behavior and mechanism of bare 22MnB5 hot-stamping boron steel sheet under different die temperature and extra cooling conditions. Results show that the friction coefficient obtained under the pure die cooling conditions is lower than that obtained under extra cooling conditions, which is attributed to the formation of thicker oxide layers on the surface of specimen during the cooling process. In addition, the friction coefficient is obviously decreased when the die temperature increased to 200 °C, which is ascribed to the co-action of the destruction of the oxide layers and the formation of bainite.
