Abstract:
The springback phenomenon occurring during cold forming is the main problem affecting the dimensional accuracy of bent products, especially when bending thin-walled profiles, where there are significant changes in the cross-section geometry. This article presents the results of the analysis of the springback phenomenon occurring during shaping with a pure bending moment of square tubes with the cross-sectional dimensions of 21.5 × 21.5 × 1.8 mm and 25 × 25 × 2.5 mm made of aluminum alloy 6060. The springback characteristics were determined by defining the dependence of the springback coefficient on the set bending radius of the band. The values of the springback coefficient were provided by means of analytical calculations and numerical modeling, which considered changes in the moment of inertia caused by deformation of the cross-section occurring during bending of the pipes. A good agreement of the calculation results with the results of experimental tests was obtained. In addition, the stress state and the state of deformation, as well as the springback characteristics of square-section pipes were compared with the results obtained during bending of a solid bar with the cross-sectional dimensions of 21.5 × 21.5 mm.
