  • Patent number: 10744547
    Abstract: A method of producing a press-formed product includes a steel plate heating step, a hot forging step and a hot stamping step. In the steel plate heating step, a steel plate is heated to 950° C. or more. In the hot forging step, the heated steel plate is forged to form a varying-thickness steel plate. In the hot stamping step, the heated varying-thickness steel plate is subjected to press-working by a press tooling to form a press-formed product, and the press-formed product that is formed is cooled inside the press tooling. Thus, a press-formed product that has high strength and for which a reduction in weight is possible can be produced.
