Why Thermal Imaging Is the Only Reliable Validation for Hot Stamping

How full-field infrared monitoring catches the heat-treat defects that thermocouples never see before they become scrap, rework, or a recall. Hot stamping is one of the most thermally demanding manufacturing processes in the automotive supply chain. A boron steel blank must be heated to austenitizing temperatures between 900°C and 950°C, transferred rapidly into a forming […]
