Development of Deep Drawing Processes Under Indirect Hot Stamping Method for an Automotive Internal Combustion Engine Oil Pan Made from Ultra-High-Strength Steel (UHSS) Sheets Using Finite Element Simulation with Experimental Validation
This study presents the development of a deep drawing process under an indirect hot stamping method for manufacturing an automotive internal combustion engine oil pan from ultra-high-strength steel (UHSS) sheets, specifically 22MnB5. The forming process involves two stages—cold stamping followed by...

| description | This study presents the development of a deep drawing process under an indirect hot stamping method for manufacturing an automotive internal combustion engine oil pan from ultra-high-strength steel (UHSS) sheets, specifically 22MnB5. The forming process involves two stages—cold stamping followed by hot stamping—and is finalized with rapid quenching to achieve a martensitic microstructure. Finite element simulation using AutoForm R8 was conducted to determine optimal forming conditions. The simulation results guided the design of the forming tools and were validated through experimental trials. The final oil pan component exhibited no cracks or wrinkles, with maximum thinning below 18%, a hardness of 550.63 HV, and a fully martensitic phase. This research demonstrates a novel and effective solution for producing deep-drawn, high-strength components using indirect hot stamping, contributing to the advancement of automotive forming processes in Thailand. |
