Forming device

Abstract

A forming device includes a heater that heats a metal material, a forming die that forms the metal material that is heated, and a temperature control mechanism that controls a temperature of at least a part of a non-quenching portion of the forming die to form a non-quenching region in a formed product after forming of the metal material, in which the temperature control mechanism is present in the forming die surrounded by a heat insulating member provided in the non-quenching portion, and the temperature control mechanism includes a heating mechanism that heats the non-quenching portion of the forming die to form the non-quenching region in the formed product during the forming by the forming die, and a cooling mechanism that cools the non-quenching portion of the forming die at a timing after the non-quenching region is formed in the formed product.
