Abstract
Springback is a crucial factor that influences the feature of sheet metal in the sheet metal forming (SMF). In SMF operations, springback of the component during unloading mostly determines whether the component confirms to the design dimensions and tolerances. The aim of the current work is to analyze the importance of forming parameters on the responses: punch force and springback in U-Bending of SS 304. Strip length, punch speed and lubricant with three levels each have been considered in the current work as the forming parameters. The effects of different process parameters on U-bending of sheet metal have been investigated by conducting experiments on SS 304. Experiments have been conducted as per Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array. The optimum conditions have been determined based on their effect on punch force and springback of the sheet metal.
