Nikravesh a’*, M. Naderi b, G.H. Alcbari W. Bieck [ ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Introduction The hot deformation behavior and constitutive description of the boronsteel 22MnB5 are of vital importance the process design and numericalsimulation of the steel during hot stamping [35] that lead to a solution forproducing high strength structural components without the occurrence ofspring back. From the review of Karbasian and Tekkaya [17], two kinds ofhot stamping processes are known which are direct and in-direct. Duringthe direhot stamping process, the blank is initially austenized, then de-formed and quenched simultaneously. The indirect hot stamping processis characterized by room-temperature deformation, which is followedby austenitization in the press tool and the subsequent quenching. One of the most important points in thermo-mechanical treatmentis prediction of the final microstructure. However, this agent is not anindependent variable and depends on chemical composition, deforma-tion temperature, cooling raw, etc. Even some authors have shownthat type of deformation i.e. tensilt compression, torsion or hydrostatic[5,9], amount of strain [21], strain rate [25] and prior austenite grain size(|18,15]) have a significant effect on thermo-mechanical processes. Forexample, Min et al. [20] investigated the effect of the thermo-mechanical process on the microstructure and secondary-deformationbehavior of 22MnB5 steels and it was concluded that as the steel wasdermed at 650 C, deformation induced ferrite transformation oc-curred even when a small strain of 0.044 was applied, and the volume fraction of deformation induced ferrite increases with increasing ap-plied strain level. When deformed at 420 C, deformation induced bai-nite transformation was observed. In 22S
