There is no doubt about
hot stamping technology
having developed
towards the strongest
driver in contemporary
lightweight car body design.
Although it’s still quite new for
most of the typical players in
sheet metal forming technology
and body-in-white design it should
be realized that it did not just
appear out of a sudden. It took
almost 40 years from the first
invention to make press hardening
of heat treatable steel what it is
today: A global technology!
Apparently there seems to be
almost no other option left to
fulfill requirements on weight
reduction and passenger safety.
While during the last decade,
global hot stamping game was
played only by a comparably
small team of highly specialized
key-players, it actually becomes
a main-stream dragging in more
and more players into the game.
However, to compete with the
already well established one’s in
technology means far more than
combining a press and a furnace
and just do it. It is about taking
right decisions on investments in
infrastructure and finally not to
