With the global trend of light-weighted automotive parts ，the light weight of bumper beam at- tracts extensive attention of automobile manufacturers ，and hot stamping technology with significant weight ad- vantage has become one of the main light weight measures for bumper beam. The quasi-static press ，low speed crash and frontal crash simulation models of bumper beam were established according to its actual working con- ditions in the automobile crashes. The feasibility of replacing normal steel bumper beam with hot stamping bum- per beam was analyzed. Meanwhile ，the stiffeners in the front face of hot stamping bumper beam were opti- mized with topography optimization in order to further improve its performances.
