TY - JOUR AU - Zhang, Yisheng AB - The conduction heating device for full-scale automobile safety parts was investigated and developed in the present study. The heating and forming tests of the blanks of ultra-high-strength steel were conducted on the device. The influence of unequal radiation heat transfer strategy on the steady temperature distributions of the blanks was studied. The forming accuracy, mechanical properties, and microstructure of the front bumper parts via conduction heating were also investigated. The results showed that the material utilization rate of the blanks increased by 31.1% in the unequal radiation heat transfer condition. The forming accuracy of the front bumper parts fluctuated within the range of + 0.595 mm and − 0.845 mm. The Vickers hardness of the uniform temperature regions was more than 480 HV. The balance of strength and ductility of the uniform temperature regions was more than 11.1 GPa%. The full martensite microstructure was obtained in the front bumper parts.
