Abstract
To reduce springback in U-bending the present paper proposes a new technique where the bottom of a U-bent part is clamped between a punch and a counter-punch during bending and it is pushed up with the counter punch at the final stage. The effect of counter punch pressure, both in sheet clamping and bottoming, was investigated by performing experiments on dual phase 590MPa and TRIP 780MPa HSS sheets. From the experiment, an appropriate combination of the clamping force and the final pushing-up force was found where springback was reduced to almost zero. To investigate the mechanism of the reduction of springback in the above three-step U-bending process, FE simulation of the bending with PAM-STAMP 2G was also conducted where the advanced kinematic hardening Yoshida-Uemori model was employed.
