This course explores press hardening steel (PHS) grades and their role in automotive manufacturing. It explains how the press hardening process increases steel strength, introduces key materials such as 22MnB5, and outlines direct and indirect processing routes. The module also highlights the impact of coatings, evolving steel grades, and recent innovations such as PQS, multi-step forming, and composite steels, showing how these developments enhance performance, safety, and lightweight design.
