Research on spring-back behavior of high strength steel sheets

To investigate the spring-back behavior of dual-phase (DP) steel,V-shape spring-back experiments with different bending angles,relative bending radii and blank holding forces were carried out in this paper. It is concluded that with the increase of V-shape angle or blank holding force,the spring-back of DP steel sheets de- creases;while raising fillet radius of punch,which has the most apparent effects on spring-back,advances spring-back angle. Among DP590,DP780 and DP980,higher strength yields more notable spring-back due to larger elastic deformation. The difference of spring-back among these materials is relevant with the microstruc- ture and mechanical properties. The total elastic deformation approximately equals the ratio of the strength corre- sponding to the applied load to the modulus of elasticity.
