How is CR950/1300HS hot stamping steel hot stamped?

CR950/1300HS hot stamping steel is usually processed by hot stamping process, and the processing process is as follows:

Heating: First, heat the steel plate to an appropriate temperature, generally above 900°C.

Preforming: The heated steel plate is preformed on a preforming machine for subsequent stamping.

Cooling: The preformed steel plate is cooled by water to enhance the strength and hardness of the steel plate.

Stamping forming: hot stamping machine is used for forming processing, and the steel plate is stamped into parts of various shapes according to requirements.

Annealing: The formed part is annealed to remove residual stresses while increasing the toughness and ductility of the material.

Galvanizing or painting: Finally, surface treatment such as galvanizing or painting is carried out on the formed parts to improve their corrosion resistance and aesthetics.

How is CR950/1300HS hot stamping steel made?

The manufacture of CR950/1300HS hot stamping steel is usually divided into the following steps:

Raw material preparation: firstly, it is necessary to select an appropriate steel billet as the raw material, and generally use low-alloy high-strength hot-rolled steel plate as the basic material.

Smelting: Put the selected raw materials into the blast furnace for smelting, and adjust the composition and content by adding an appropriate amount of alloying elements to achieve the required chemical composition and performance.

Continuous casting: Through the continuous casting process, the smelted molten steel is cast into slabs for subsequent rolling processing.

Rolling: Using hot rolling process, the slab is rolled and pressed to the required thickness and width to form a hot-rolled steel plate.

Pickling: The rolled steel plate needs to be pickled to remove impurities such as scale and rust on the surface, so as to ensure the flatness and quality of the steel plate surface.

Annealing: Annealing the steel plate after pickling to make its structure more uniform and improve the toughness and ductility of the material.

Cold rolling: cold-rolling the annealed hot-rolled steel sheet to obtain a finer grain structure and improve its mechanical properties.

Quenching and tempering: After cold rolling, the steel plate needs to be quenched and tempered to achieve the required strength and toughness.

Spraying and processing: Surface spraying and mechanical processing are carried out on the finished steel plate to improve its surface quality and formability.
