  • Publication number: 20200316668
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of manufacturing a press formed product which reduces the welding time and enhances the productivity. First, a main steel plate and a reinforcement steel plate are bonded by laser welding a superposed portion of the main steel plate and the reinforcement steel plate to form a superposed blank member. This superposed blank member is heated to higher temperature than the austenite transformation temperature to transform the superposed blank member into austenite. The superposed blank member transformed into austenite is then press formed and rapidly cooled with dies at the same time to be transformed into martensite, thereby forming a press formed product.
