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
