Abstract: Influence of parameters on wrinkle, rebound, thinning, martensitic volume fraction and strength of 22MnB5 martensitic steel B-pillar during hot stamping process were studied by means of finite element analysis software Autoform. The results show that the optimum process parameters of hot stamping for 22MnB5 martensitic steel B-pillar are heating temperature of 930 ℃ and cooling rate of 80 ℃/s, with which, the martensite transformation of B-pillar is completed, its hardness distribution is uniform, the material thinning rate is low, the hot stamping forming effect is good, the size accuracy is high, and the strength of stamping workpieces is higher than 1400 MPa.
