Development and Testing of a Hot Stamped Axial Crush Member with Tailored Properties
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-05)This thesis investigates the effect of tailoring the properties of a hot stamped axial crush rail consisting of a top hat cross-section on its crash response. The tailored hot stamping (THS) process is considered, in which ... -
High Strain Rate Behaviour of Hot Formed Boron Steel with Tailored Properties
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-21)In an automotive crash event, hot stamped, die quenched martensitic structural components have been shown to provide excellent intrusion resistance. These alloys exhibit only limited ductility, however, which may limit the ... -
Hot Stamping of a Boron Steel Side Impact Beam with Tailored Flange Properties - Experiments and Numerical Simulations
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-01)The effect of tailoring of hot stamped components is investigated, specifically the introduction of a tailored (locally softened) flange within an otherwise martensitic hot formed side impact beam. The effect of tailoring ... -
Investigation of Resistance Spot Weld Failure in Tailored Hot Stamped Assemblies
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-23)This thesis presents the results from the mechanical characterization of resistance spot welds within hot stamped USIBOR® 1500-AS steel sheet (1.2 and 1.6 mm thickness) with tailored properties. Three parent metal conditions, ...
