Abstract

The blank is prone to wrinkles and spring-back in multi-point forming, seriously affecting the quality and forming accuracy of the formed part. To improve this state, a sandwich structure constructed from a strip steel pad and blank was presented. The deformation behaviour and forming accuracy using three forming processes, namely, without a cushion, using a polyurethane elastic pad and using a strip steel pad, were analysed by numerical simulation and experimentation. The results showed that the use of the strip steel pad in multi-point forming can effectively increase the deformation resistance of the sheet bending; make the material evenly thinned during forming; suppress defects such as wrinkles, spring-back, dimples and straight edges; and improve the forming accuracy.
