Sheet-metal parts produced by pressing, stamping or similar technology; usually have residual stresses, which tend to deform them. If these parts are intended to be assembled with other elements, it is necessary to perform measurements to check if constructive dimensions are within acceptable tolerance limits. Such measurements require at least four stages: positioning, clamping, measurement, u...

Abstract Press hardening grades are widely used in automotive industries for safety-critical structural parts due to their unique combination of high strength, excellent formability, and crash performance. Considering various scenarios on thermo-mechanical profiles different hot stamping lines, achieving the targeted strength ductility / fracture strain hot-stamped is still challenging some sta...
