RFCS

The project is focused on the development of innovative hollow, complex shaped thin-walled components made of UHSS and AHSS with tailored properties. Hot metal gas forming with integrated Q-P process is used to achieve high strength (up to 2,000 MPa) and ductility (over 10%). Segmented resonant heating within the tool will result in a uniform temperature distribution, time shortening and temperature reduction. The cooling in tool will be modified by 3D-printed inserts with different conductivity. Optimized joints will be developed for Q-P final components. This interaction of various technological approaches will lead to energy saving and improvement of industrial efficiency.
