The hot stamping process of high strength steel 22MnB5 for automotive B-pillar was investigated combining with numerical simulation and experiments. According to the analysis of B-pillar structure, the die surface was designed and PAD was added reasonably. Then, a hot forming FE model of automotive B-pillar was established, and the process parameters including blank heating temperature, tool temperature, pad pressure, drawing velocity, holding pressure of quenching, etc. were set in order to confirm the whole process scheme. Therefore, the hot stamping process of B-pillar was numerically simulated, and the distribution of thickness, microstructure, hardness, etc. was obtained and compared with the experimental results respectively. The mechanical property testing of hot formed parts show that the thickness distribution of parts is uniform, the largest thinning ratio is less than 25% and the average hardness is up to 470 HV. Furthermore, the average tensile strength is more than 1400 MPa, and the microstructure is homogenous lath martensite. Thus, the final properties of formed B-pillar satisfy the requirements of hot stamping quality specification, and the hot stamping process of B-pillar is reliable.
