Press hardening from AP&T strengthens Great Wall Motors

Since January 2015, China's largest SUV and pickup manufacturer, Great Wall Motors, uses a production line for press hardening from AP&T. The line is currently used to produce components for the Haval H2 and H9 SUV models. "We regard press hardening technology as a way to meet the constantly growing demands from the automotive industry's customers for safety and fuel efficiency. Basically all of the models we manufacture will eventually have press hardened parts," says Zhen Quanchang, who is the equipment division manager at Great Wall Motors. The turnkey line has a DST destacker for feeding blanks into the furnace, a roller hearth furnace for heating the material, two SpeedFeeders for feeding into and out of the press and an 800 metric ton ODEN press. The system also includes a forming tool and nitrogen gas generator and cooling equipment for the process.
