The hot forming processinclud ed: heating alloy srapidly to austenite micr ostructures, stamping and cooling timely,maintaining pressur eand quenching . The results showed that most of austenite micr ostructure w as changed into uniform mar tensite by the hot press form ing while the samples were heatedat 900 。C and quenched. The optimal tensile strength and yield streng th were up to 1530 MPa and 1000 MPa, respectively, and the shape deformation reached about 23% . And springback defect did not happ en in the samples.Key words: high streng th steel。 lightw eight 。 hot forming 。 martensiteAs an effective economical energy measure, the lightw eight dev elo pment dir ection of automo bile has bee one of the most important research subjects in the automotive industry. There are three major ways to achieve automobile light weight : optimizing vehicle frames and struc tures。 making vehicle bodyor f rame of new and alternativ ematerials to reduce the vehicle mass ( The high and ultra high strength steel can be used as alternative materials because of its thinner thickness) 。 adopting advanced manufacturing techniques for the sake of automobile light wei ght , such as thicknessgradient high strength steel (HSS) or metal based pound plates by con tinuous pressing or hot press forming [ 1] . Although HSS has been applied in some domestic top grade vehicles, the key producing technologies have always been dominated by foreign pan ies, such as Acelor Company, so as to raise the product cost obviously. By domestic selfdesigned hot press forming techniques and watercooling mould, the automo bile HSS can be produced to subst itute foreign vehicle parts.In general, with the enhancement of steel blank，s mechanical strength, its formability is worsened dramatically. It is difficult to apply the traditional cold stamping technolog y into the f ield of pressing HSS. Thus, the hot stamping technology of martensit icsteel blank is applied as a new technology , which bines metal thermoplast ic forming metho d and watercooling mould quenching principle. In this paper, boro n steel blank was formed and watercooling mould was quenched simultane ously during the process of hot stamping . Comparedwith original automobile pearlite steel[ 2] , the automobile HSS obtained by advanced hot press forming technique can reduce about 30% of the total vehicle mass and achieve plex g eomet ries, high security and mechanical st reng th. The r easo n is that austenite microst ructure with optimal plast icity and ductility can be obtained by hot press forming at high temperature[ 3 5] , and the HSS with both excellent mechanical properties and light weight will be obtainedafter being formed and quenched[ 6 8] . The application of hotformed thinner HSS plates will bean important measure to realize vehicle light weight.1 Experimental SetupIn order to form HSS at high temperature, and to avoid cracks and springback, the sam ples need rapid heating and transform pletely into stabl eaustenite microst ructure. And then, samples are pressed and cooled in selfmade watercooling the obtained HS S sample, its shapefreezing character or no spring back defect is an obvious advantage, and most of microst ructure in the sample is martensite. The thickness of sample is mm, and the main elements of HSS in this experiment are show n in Table 1.Table 1 Main elements of material in the experimen22MnB5CMnCrSiBPSAlMinimumMaximumActual ex perimental procedure included: 1) set different heat t reatment temper atures in ther ange of750 to 1 000℃。 2) put the sample into the heat treated furnace to be heated for 4 min at a certain temperature。 3) remove it by mechanical hand and put it into the hot forming moulds to be pressed quickly 。4) simultaneously, it was watercooled at about 30℃/s in the mound.
