Advanced High-Strength Steel (AHSS) Technology II
How Higher-Strength Materials Affect Pressroom Equipment
and Die Maintenance
This presentation examines a num- ber of different material types (alu- minum alloys, high-strength steels and stainless steels) commonly used in commercial, automotive and aerospace products, and the effect they have on the stamping process. Guidelines for designing dies, selecting pressroom equipment, and implementing appro- priate die-maintenance routines based on specific material properties and their influence on the stamping process will be discussed.
Peter Ulintz, Precision Metalforming Association
Die Material Coatings and Tooling for High-Strength Steel Stamping
Stamping dies for AHSS applica- tions face a variety of challenges, including galling of the surface of draw- ing dies and cracked cutting edges of trim dies. At the same time, stampers must prepare dies quickly and effi- ciently to satisfy the timelines of new model launches. This session address- es solutions to these challenges, includ- ing new die materials, coating tech- nologies and tooling technologies.

Error Proofing III
Quality Management for Press Shops: In-Die Process Validation, Post- Stamping Check Stations and Error
For management, quality engineers and supervisors in stamping opera-
tions, part quality can be a source of frustration. Teams need to identify quality issues early and adjust quickly so that they can have zero defects shipped to customer. This is readily accomplished through in-die process validation, electronic measurement and part tracking. Through real-world examples, we will discuss how press shops are successfully implementing 100-percent inspection of finished parts regardless of automation level.

Lubrication Technology
Lubrinomics—The Science of Lubrication and Economics in Metal Stamping
Lubricants can make a major impact on the success or failure of a stamping operation. Understanding the differ- ent compositions available and how to best apply them to specific opera- tions is important, to ensure the great- est success rates and process compat- ibility. Not all lubricants are created or perform equally. Determine how to evaluate different lubricants during a trial, learn industry best practices, and understand important metrics for over- all success and improvement to the bottom line.

Understanding Chlorinated Paraffins in Metalforming Lubricants
Learn how extreme-pressure addi- tives affect the workability of stamping lubricants. This session will cover the future of metalforming lubricants, gov- ernment action on chlorinated paraf- fins, understanding the global regula- tory system and the use of extreme-pressure additives in metal- forming lubricants.
