The Advancements of Force Generating Technologies for Hot and Cold Forming Applications

• Safety Standards

• Cost of Manufacturing/ Vehicle
• Keep work in USA
• Heavy work load/ High Goals / Big Responsibility

•  HOT Forming Boron Steel
− Heat up/ transfer into die/ Stamp
Part/ Cool Part

•  HOT Forming Boron Steel
− Large investment and energy
usage
− Furnace requirements, time to
heat up
− Transfer between furnace and
press
− Cooling of material and time

•  COLD Forming High Tensile Strength
Steel
− Part Quality: wrinkling/tearing
- Inadequate forces
- Inconsistency in material batch
- Friction/ Heat
