Abstract: The present invention provides a die capable of achieving rapid forming and quenching therein. The die includes an upper die, a blank holder and a lower die, where the upper die is composed of an internal solid die core and a thin-walled skin. Grooves in communication with each other are disposed between the internal solid die core and the thin-walled skin. In a forming stage, the grooves are not filled or filled with a heat insulating material such as a gas; and in a quenching stage, a low-temperature medium is introduced into the grooves. The die can be used to achieve rapid forming and quenching of metal materials of different types and thicknesses.

Abstract: Provided is a performance controlling method for a high-strength aluminum alloy shell during an ultra-low temperature forming process. The present disclosure greatly improves the performance of an aluminum alloy sheet by applying an ultra-low temperature. The present disclosure cools the aluminum alloy sheet to an ultra-low temperature by using an ultra-low temperature cooling medium, so as to compensate for insufficient hardening caused by insufficient deformation and avoid cracking caused by increased deformation. The present disclosure cools the sheet blank zonally according to a deformation law of a desired curved part, and controls the ultra-low temperature distribution of the sheet blank during forming so as to promote the formation of a substructure in a small-deformation zone. In this way, the present disclosure improves a subsequent age-hardening effect, and corresponding uniformity of microstructure and performance, and effectively solves the problem of non-uniformity due to uneven deformation.
