Herein, functionally graded AA7075 components manufactured via hot stamping are investigated by focusing on the effect of different process variables on localized microstructure evolution. To realize gradation through stamping, an active tool is designed and applied. The design of experiments allows to assess the impact of transfer time from the furnace to the tool, quenching time in the tool, and...
