Abstract

Car door rings play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and comfort of vehicles. Traditional cold forming methods used in manufacturing these components often encounter challenges related to complexity and inefficiency. This study aims to investigate the feasibility and advantages of employing hot forming technology for producing dual door rings, with a focus on overcoming the limitations associated with conventional forming techniques. A comprehensive simulation model was developed for the hot forming process of dual door rings, taking into account material properties, geometric configurations, and process parameters. The simulations were performed using LS-DYNA software, which utilizes a combination of explicit and implicit methods to provide a detailed analysis of the hot stamping process. Key process parameters such as forming temperature and pressure were systematically varied to assess their influence on the quality of the formed components. The study successfully achieved one-time forming of dual door ring parts using billets of different thicknesses and various hot stamping-formed steels. Based on the simulation results, the structural design of the dual door ring was optimized, resulting in an enhanced and efficient hot forming process flow. Hot forming technology, coupled with appropriate parameter optimization, effectively addresses the manufacturing challenges associated with dual door rings.
