Springback analysis of 6016 aluminum alloy sheet in hot V-shape stamping

Abstract

Springback behavior of 6016 aluminum alloy in hot stamping was investigated by a series of experiments under different conditions using V-shape dies and a finite element model which was validated reliable was used to further elucidate the springback mechanism. The effects of initial blank temperature, blank-holding force, die closing pressure and die corner radius were studied. It is found that springback decreases remarkably as the initial blank temperature rises up to 500 °C. The springback also reduces with the increase of die holding pressure and the decrease of die corner radius. Under different initial temperatures, the influence of blank-holding force is distinct. In addition, the bending and straightening of the side wall during the stamping process is found to interpret the negative springback phenomenon.
