Abstract:
A heating device for hot stamping is configured to heat a plated metallic material while conveying the plated metallic material. The heating device for hot stamping comprises: a first heating tank provided in a conveyance path for the plated metallic material; and a second heating tank provided downstream of the first heating tank in the conveyance path. A heating amount provided by the second heating tank is configured such that a temperature of the plated metallic material becomes equal to or higher than Ac3 point and less than a boiling point of a plating of the plated metallic material, and a heating amount provided by the first heating tank is configured to be larger than the heating amount provided by the second heating tank.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for heating a plated metallic material having an Ac 3  point and a boiling point using a heating device for hot stamping that includes a continuous furnace comprising a first infrared heater stage and a second infrared heater stage that are sequentially arranged in a conveyance path for the plated metallic material, the method comprising:\n conveying the plated metallic material into the continuous furnace; \n heating the plated metallic material in the first infrared heater stage by an amount that is greater than an amount that the plated metallic material is heated in the second infrared heater stage; and \n heating the plated metallic material in the second infrared heater stage such that a temperature of the plated metallic material becomes equal to or higher than the Ac3 point and less than the boiling point of plating of the plated metallic material.
