title = "Notch shear cutting of press hardened steels",
abstract = "Lightweight design is currently a relevant issue in the automotive industry and in the field of electric mobility. The utilisation of Press Hardened Components (PHC) made of manganeseboron steels enable weight saving through the reduction of the sheet metal thickness with sufficient component reliability. Because of the hard martensitic structure, laser cutting is usually applied for piercing and trimming the contour after the Press Hardening Process (PHP). This process is highly inefficient due to the high energy consumption in combination with long cycle times. Shear cutting is an interesting alternative for Press Hardened Steels (PHS) instead of laser technology; however, this process poses substantial challenges for the industrial application. In order to cope with the difficulties of shear cutting operations of PHS, this work presents an alternative for processing PHS. This new method is called notch shear cutting.",
