An abstract of an essay Q&P hot stamping is a novel process to produce high strength steel parts with better elongation than those conventional ones. In this paper, recent studies of Q&P hot stamping process are presented. First, a fractional cooling steps strategy is introduced to optimize the procedure, so the cycle time is shortened and the requirement of tool is decreased. Second, several different materials are introduced to test the positive effects of Q&P process especially to increase the product of strength and plasticity. Third, the development of stress state during the whole process is studied, and the final stress state induces springback and residual stress. Finally, microstructure evolution during the Q&P hot stamping process is modeled and discussed.
