Springback Analysis of Flexible Stretch Bending of Multi-Point Roller Dies Process for Y-Profile under Different Process Parameters

Abstract

Springback is a common defect caused by elastic recovery in the plastic forming process, which can cause the formed workpiece to deviate from the target shape. The purpose of this paper is to grasp the influence law of process parameters on springback deviation so as to optimize process parameters to reduce springback. Taking the Y-profile as the research object, the influence of process parameters such as horizontal bending radius, vertical bending radius, transition zone length, radius of roller dies, and wall thickness of the profile on springback deviation is discussed by numerical simulation. Additionally, the validity of the numerical simulation is verified through experiments. The springback law obtained by numerical simulation is applied to practical production, and the large-scale production of the Y-profile is realized.
