Abstract

Due to steadily rising vehicle safety and crash requirements in the automotive industry, the use of ultrahigh-strength steels in structural and safety components is rapidly increasing. To fulfil this demand, Hot Press Forming (HPF) process has been developed where compared to cold forming, HPF process can overcome the limitation on the cold forming process. By using this process to manufacture automotive parts from ultra high strength steel, it can reduce vehicle weight, improved safety, and crashworthiness qualities. To perform the part, dies used for the forming process must be designed properly by following the required standard. This project focuses on designing HPF impact beam die for the forming process using CATIA V5 CAD and performs Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on the die structural mechanics using ANSYS 14. This start from studying the HPF impact beam dies. From there data will be collected and examined. The design and analysis step has been proposed to design the forming die. There are four types of analysis conducted on impact beam die which are Equivalent Stress, Equivalent Elastic Strain, Directional Deformation and Total Deformation. This analysis is done on the surface of impact beam die to identify where the deformation may occur and how much it will be. The analysis result shown that mostly deformation occurred on the surface and side of the upper and lower impact beam HPF die. To reduce this deformation from occurred, sharp edges need to be reduced on the die surface. From this analysis, it will help to develop further studies to improve die quality on the HPF process in producing high quality automotive parts.
