Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of springback for various process conditions of the U-draw bending operation. The process variables are the forming temperature and the tool geometry, including punch profile radius (Rp) and die profile radius (Rd). In order to control springback, the use of a warm forming method is applied. For the warm draw-bending, five steps of temperature ranges, from room temperature to 200°C, were adopted. Two kinds of steel sheets, cold rolled carbon steel (SCP1, for general purposes in the automobile industries) and TRIP (transformation-induced plasticity) steel, were adopted. TRIP steel was the newly developed high-strength steel sheet. The results indicated that elevated temperature and the geometry of tools in the two kinds of steel sheet affected the springback.
