This paper provides an overview of hot stamping of light alloys using a method known as HFQ ® forming. We present a new method of forming complex shaped automotive components through the use of a hot stamping process for high strength AA6082 alloy. In particular, the component selected for study is a complex automotive door inner component that could not be conventionally formed from such a strong alloy. The forming process is described and the post-formed thickness distribution is presented.
more » ... FE simulation is given to demonstrate the potential to predict the forming process and to provide guidance as to the final component thicknesses.
