The invention provides an apparatus used for determining
thermal contact resistance between a high-temperature steel plate and a die in the process of
hot stamping. The apparatus comprises a pressure applying unit, a determination unit and a resistance
data acquisition module, wherein the determination unit comprises a sample determination tool, a standard module tool and a standard sample tool, the sample determination tool, the standard module tool and the standard sample tool are respectively connected with the resistance
data acquisition module, the pressure applying unit comprises a pressurization device, an upper
workbench and a lower
workbench, the pressurization device is respectively connected with the upper
workbench and the lower workbench, and the sample determination tool comprises an upper tool, a lower tool and a sample fixing tool. The invention also discloses a method used for determining the
thermal contact resistance between the high-temperature steel plate and the die in the process of
hot stamping. According to the invention, the
thermal contact resistance is indirectly obtained by testing a
contact resistance on a contact interface, and the problems of low detection precision and incapability of real-time
continuous evaluation of the thermal
contact resistance of a contact interface during
heat transfer process in testing of thermal
contact resistance in the prior art are overcome.
