Improving the Quality of Parts Produced by Bending in a Die with an Elastic Element

Abstract

The process of less than 90 degrees angle bending is presented in this article. Elastic-plastic deformation took place in the sample. After removing the force, the effect of elastic spring-back occurs – the angle of the part is increased by a value that depends on many parameters. The usage of an elastic element in the stamp allows us to change the angle of spring-back. This is happened doe to adjusting the height of the press stroke. This allows us to produce parts with accurate dimensions.
