摘      要：Hot stamping has been widely used in car industry to produce safety components. Most existing re- searches focused on the stamping and quenching process, but less on the mechanical properties of stamped parts. The fracture behaviors of hot stamped boron steel B1500HS have been studied, and other four commonly used sheet metals with different strengths, including Q235, TRIP780, QP980 and MS1300, were also introduced for comparison. Both uniaxial tests and mechanical trimming tests were performed, and the fracture surfaces under different stress states were observed and discussed. The SEM observations showed that the fracture models are closely related to the stress states, i. e., the tensile surfaces have ductile rupture characters while the trimming surfaces have brittle rupture characters. Compared with other steels, the quenched boron steel has smaller dimple size accompa- nied by shear planes in the tensile surface, and has smaller burnish zone in the trimming surface, and its cutting surface with ＇S＇ like shape is also very different with others. Furthermore, two fitted em pirical models were derived to describe the quantitative correlations between the average dimple diam- eter and the steel strength and between the percentage of burnish zone and the steel strength.
