Abstract:
A method of press forming includes: forming a trench-shaped portion into a product shape with a die and a punch until reaching a first bottom dead center, and forms at least one of: a flange portion subject to shrink flange deformation such that a linear length of the flange portion subject to the shrink flange deformation in a longitudinal direction is shorter than a linear length of a flange portion in the product shape; and a flange portion subject to stretch flange deformation such that a linear length of the flange portion subject to the stretch flange deformation in the longitudinal direction is longer than the linear length of the flange portion in the product shape; and forming the formed flange portion into the product shape with the die and a flange forming die until reaching a second bottom dead center.
Abstract:
A press forming method for forming a press-formed product having no flange portion from a blank by performing a crash forming process while using a die and a punch, the press-formed product including at least a top portion and a side wall portion continued from the top portion via a connecting portion and being structured so that either all or a part of the side wall portion curves toward an outside of the press-formed product to form a convex shape in a planar view, the press forming method including forming the side wall portion while keeping a tip end portion of the blank in continuous contact with a side wall forming portion of the die and causing the die to impose no restraint on any part other than the tip end portion of the blank.
Abstract:
A method for specifying stretch flange limit strain includes specifying stretch flange limit strain so as to satisfy a relation in the following formula by using: strain gradient in an inward direction directed from an end portion of a metal sheet at a time a press load is applied; and strain gradient in a sheet thickness direction of the metal sheet intersecting the loading direction: εθlim=A[a·Δεθ/Δr+b·Δεθ/Δt]+c where εθlim represents the stretch flange limit strain (tangential direction of the sheet edge), Δεθ/Δr represents the strain gradient in the inward direction, Δεθ/Δt represents the strain gradient in the sheet thickness direction, A, a, and b represent influence coefficients, and c represents the limit strain at a time the strain gradient is zero.
