In order to speed up the production and save more energy in hot stamping process,the induction heating technology as a new effective heating method is considerable. Finite element (FE)-simulation and a se-ries of experiments are carried out to research the temperature homogenization of induction heating with the face inductor. It is found the edge effect has a notable influence on the temperature distribution. Results concer-ning the mechanical properties of the stamped part as well as surface characteristics will be presented and dis-cussed.
