Abstract

The most prominent feature of sheet material forming process is an elastic recovery phenomenon during unloading which leads to springback and side wall curl. Therefore, evaluation of springback and side wall curl is mandatory for production of precise products. In this research , the effects of friction coefficient, sheet thickness, yield strength of sheet and blank holder force on the springback and side wall curl in U bending of DP600 dual phase steel sheets were investigated. These investigations were done by computer simulation. The simulations were done by ABAQUS finite element software and then, results were compared with experimental results. The finite element results have been validated with experimental results. MINITAB, a statistical software, was used to analyze finite element results. With the use of MINITAB, equations were obtained to predict springback and side wall curl radius by friction coefficient , sheet thickness , yield strength and blank holder force.
