Research on springback compensation for multi-point forming of corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy hyperbolic component

Springback is the reverse elastic deformation produced by the unloading process, which is a common phenomenon in the sheet metal stamping and forming process and affects the final forming accuracy of the part. Aiming at the problem of springback error in the multi-point forming process of hyperbolic component for ships, the springback phenomenon of hyperbolic component was studied by combining theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and forming test. The mechanical property parameters and stress-strain curves were obtained by tensile tests using a new corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy as the sheet material. The springback compensation method is introduced, the springback compensation formula based on surface curvature is derived, and the compensated mold surface is further corrected and fitted using the cubic B-sample method. The multi-point punch tooling was generated and modeled by the multi-point 3D modeling software MPFCAD and finite element software to simulate the multi-point forming and unloading springback process of the hyperbolic member. Multi-point forming tests were conducted on a multi-point forming press for corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy hyperbolic component, and the formed parts were checked for accuracy and error analysis by 3D scanning and GOM Inspect software. The results show that the springback compensation method used in this paper can effectively reduce the springback error in the multi-point forming process of corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy hyperbolic component, and the effect is very good.
