Sheet metal forming is one of the oldest fabrication

processes identified to mankind, and bending can most likely be regarded as its most basic variant [1]. Bending is

a process by which metal can be deformed by plastically

deforming the material and changing its shape. The

material is stressed further than the yield strength but lower

than the ultimate tensile strength.

In a mission to enhance fuel economy, the automobile

manufacturers have been significantly looking at light

metals to light-weight their vehicles. Considerable weight

saving can be achieved by replacing parts made from mild

steel with those made from light-weight materials

(aluminum and magnesium alloys) and high specific

strength materials. Such materials are less formable than mild steel, and parts made from them absence dimensional

control because of the considerable amount of spring back

that they generate after forming [2].

The elastic recovery of material is one of the main

sources of shape and dimensional accuracy of drawpieces.

Springback cannot be removed, but there are several

techniques to minimize the elastic return of the stamped

part because of the elastic recovery of sheet metal after

forming. One of the techniques is an appropriate design of

the die which takes into consideration the amount of spring back. In addition, the change in selected bending process

variables can minimize the spring back. The concept of the

modification of the die shape contains extra overbending of

the material [3]. Between the many advanced techniques of

predicting the final profile of the drawpiece, the finite

element method (FEM) is the most often utilized [4]. FEM

is the main method utilized to simulate sheet metal forming

processes to be able to figure out the distribution of stresses

and deformations in the material, forming loads and

possible locations of the defects.

The measure of the spring back value is a spring back

coefficient or angle of spring back. The value of the spring back coefficient be determined by the value of bend angle

and bend radius, sheet metal thickness, and width of the

sheet metal, the mechanical properties of the sheet material,

the bending process temperature, and the strain rate [5].

The research of Caden et al. [6] demonstrated the influence

of the coefficient of friction on the spring back value.

These computer tools enable the design engineer to

study the process and material factors. The reliability of

predicted formability and the precision of the predicted

deformed geometry for a given part depend on the

predicted computational modeling approach [7]. In spite of the well-developed material behaviour models, metal

forming simulations often do not yield the correct results.

This is generally due to utilizing a very simplified friction

model. Coulomb friction model is a simple model

frequently utilized in simulations. In this model, the ratio

between friction force and normal force defined as the

coefficient of friction μ, that considered to be constant [8].

Nevertheless, especially in lubricated systems, friction

depends on a large number of parameters, e.g., the micro-

geometry, the macro-geometry, the lubricant and the

operational factors: velocity, temperature and normal load

[9]. Dametew and Gebresenbet [10] studied by using the mathematical method the influence of sheet metal

thickness, sheet metal type, friction, tool radius and tool

shape on spring back for different materials of sheet metal.

Different researches were done to investigate the spring

back phenomenon numerically and experimentally for

diverse shapes, and process parameters [11]–[18]. The

majority of the analytical researches concentrated on air

bending despite the fact that minimal work was carried out

on the V-die bending process because of the characteristic

problems as a result of the coining action related to this

process [19]. Earlier investigations [19]–[21] performed on

spring back in the V-bending process displayed that the

material’s grain size got minor impact, but surface

roughness experienced a reasonably greater impact on

spring back. The spring back was additionally discovered to be affected by the punch nose radius and the process

temperature along with the minor impact of the punch

velocity. Finite element methods were utilized to analyze

the impact of various process parameters and validate

numerical models in the V-bending process through several

researchers e.g. [22], [23]. These researchers presented that

the spring back was significantly influenced by bend

radius, punch angle and die shoulder radius. Leu [24]

studied the influences of process parameters, such as

material properties, lubrication, and process geometrical

parameters, on the position deviation and spring back of

high strength steel blanks, to be able to create process design recommendations for the asymmetric V-bending

process.

Wasif et al. [25] performed experimental and numerical

analysis for the spring back in high tensile strength steel

sheet metals at divers process parameters of the V-bending

process. Wasif and his team diagramed their experimental

results to investigate the influence of the process

parameters (sheet metal thickness and width, the bending

angle, and the tool geometry) on the spring back in the V-

bending process. The diagramed figures helped them to

obtain the optimal parameters for minimizing the spring back. In addition, they used their numerical models for the

forecasting of the spring back at various values of the

process parameters. They displayed that the spring back

decreased with increasing of the sheet metal width. Also,

they concluded that the spring back increased with

decreasing the bending angle.

Ramadass et al. [26] investigated the spring back

behavior of Ti-Grade (2) blanks in the V-bending process

by utilizing the finite element technique and the

experimental work. Ramadass and his associates used the

Taguchi and analysis of variance methods to classify the

significance of process parameters such as punch radius, sheet metal thickness and die opening dimension on the

spring back behavior. Finally, they validated the finite

element results by utilizing the Taguchi (L9) orthogonal

array. They determined the classification of the most

effective process parameters in minimizing the spring back

with the following influence ratios: 56.65% for sheet metal

thickness, 31.87% for the punch radius, and 9.73% for the

die opening.

Also, the bending force to perform the V-bending

process is an important factor in selecting the capacity of

the mechanical press and the geometries of the used tools. Mori et al. [27], Jiang et al. [28], Panthi et al. [29] and

Hakan et al. [30] came to the conclusion in their researches

on spring back that bending force rises with the rise in the

yield stress of the sheet metal. Narayanasamy and

Padmanabhan [31] studied the software of response surface

methodology for forecasting the bending force throughout

the air bending process for interstitial free steel sheets. The

researchers displayed that punch stroke is the dominating

factor identifying the bend force subsequently punch speed

and bend radius. Malikov et al. [32] studied the bending

force for air bending process by using numerical and

experimental calculations. Malikov and coworkers

demonstrate that bending position and structure location significantly affect bending force.

The experimental study of Srinivasan et al. [33] focused

on studying the effect of friction parameters on the spring

back and the bending force for electro-galvanized steel

sheets in the air-bending process. This study has shown that

the spring back increased and the bending force decreased

by reducing the friction coefficient. Srinivasan and Raja

[34] conducted an experimental analysis for the V-bending

process to comprehend the spring back, bending force and

thinning of bimetallic sheets (Al/Cu). Srinivasan and Raja

studied the influence of the process parameters like die

opening, punch radius, sheet thickness, and die angle on the spring back. They found that the spring back and the

bending force reduced with decreasing the punch radius

and rising the die angle. Also, they established that the

spring back increased and the bending force reduced with

the rising of the die opening. On the contrary, they figured

out that the spring back decreased and the bending force

increased with the rising of the sheet metal thickness.

In the present work, the V-bending process of yellow

brass alloy sheet metal (ASTM B36) is investigated

numerically and experimentally. The bending force is

studied at different values of the V-bending process parameters by using a numerical simulation of a

commercial finite element software ABAQUS/EXPLICIT.

Also, the spring back behaviour in the sheet metal is

investigated for these parameters. The effect of different

values of the operating and geometrical parameters

(friction coefficients, bend radius, and opening die

dimension) on the bending force and the spring back

behaviour are presented by using the 3D predictive model

of FEA and the response surface method.

2. THE NUMERICAL SIMULATION MODEL

In this research, a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) 3D

model is created to simulate the V-Bending process

by utilizing a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) program

(ABAQUS/EXPLICIT). Figure 1 shows the geometric

arrangements were utilized in these simulations. Figure 2

displays all dimensions of the V-bending die which used in

the simulation model. The tooling components (punch and

die) were considered as 3D discrete rigid and represented by the movement of a single node, identified as

the reference node of the rigid body. The die and the punch

were meshed by using the type of R3D4 elements. The

sheet metal is modeled as a deformable and meshed by

using 3D stress, eight-node, and C3D8R elements. The

dimension for each initial blank is (80 mm x 30 mm x 1

mm). Coulomb friction coefficients of 0.01, 0.05, 0.125,

0.2 are considered for the sheet metal contact surfaces with

oily lubrication for sheet metal with die and sheet metal

with a punch, respectively [35].

3. VALIDATION OF THE FEA MODEL

Since the sheet metal bending is about applying a force

on sheet metal to deform it, the universal testing machine

was used in the experiment work as shown in Figure 4.

Additional parts were needed to be installed on the

universal testing machine to prepare the machine, those

parts are the punch and the V-die; presented in Figure 5.

The measure of the spring back value is an angle of spring

back (Δθ); as shown in Figure 11. The bend radius (rb)

affects on the spring back. Also, the main purpose of

lubrication is to accomplish the smallest value of the

friction coefficient with the least possible wear. Avery

useful design optimization tool is a response surface method (RSM) tool. In the following section, it will be

studied the spring back (Δθ) as the first response in the

RSM model. Figure 12 describes RSM for the variation of

the spring back angle (Δθ) with diverse values of the bend

radius (rb) of the final bending workpiece and the different

values of the friction coefficients at sheet metal interfaces

with die and punch. It is displayed that the spring back

angle (Δθ) increases with the rising of the bend radius (rb)

which is in good agreement with published results in [22 -

23], [26], and [34]. On the other hand, the spring back angle

(Δθ) decreases with an increase in the friction coefficient value (μ) which is consistent with the published results in

[33]. Figure 12 and Figure 13 display the design points

above and below the predicted value of the RMS to get the

minimum value of the spring back angle (Δθ).

The horizontal distance between two centers of die

shoulder radius is known as opening die dimension (W);

shown in Figure 2. Figure 14 shows RSM for the change of

the spring back angle (Δθ) with different values of the bend

radius (rb) and diverse values of the opening die dimension

(W). The results of the predictive model display that the

spring back angle (Δθ) rises with the increasing of the bend

radius (rb) and the opening die dimension (W) which is in

good matching with published results in [34]. Figure 14 and

Figure 15 presents the design points above and below the

predicted value of the RSM to obtain the minimum spring

back angle (Δθ).

results, it is shown that the spring back angle (Δθ)

decreases with increase in the friction coefficient value (μ).

with the rising of the opening die dimension (W). Figure

In the same way, In the remaining part of this paper, it

will be investigated the bending force (Fb)as the second

response in the RSM model. Figure 18 and Figure 19

explain RSM and Contour for the variation of the bending

force (Fb) with punch travel distance at different values of

the bend radius (rb) and the dissimilar values of the friction

coefficients at sheet metal interfaces. It clear that the

bending force (Fb) decreases with increasing the bend

radius (rb). Nevertheless, the bending force (Fb) has a lower

value when the value of the friction coefficient (μ) is used

between 0.14 to 0.3. On the other hand, the bending force

(Fb) rises at lower and higher values of the friction

coefficient (μ=0.05 or μ=0.5).

distance at diverse values of the bend radius (rb) and the

5. CONCLUSION

Simulation outcomes can essentially reduce the

manufacture expenses of high quality bending workpiece

by decreasing the lead time to manufacture and gives the

designers the ability to react quicker to market

modifications. Moreover, with the present FEA model and

RSM model, the smaller the bend radius is less spring back will be there with greater bending force. The fluid lubricant

with a higher value of the friction coefficient is more

suitable to apply between die/punch and sheet metal to

reduce the spring back action, on the other hand, the

bending force is to be high. Finally, the small die opening

dimensions are preferred to decrease the amount of the

spring back angle conversely the bending force will be

increased. As a final point, FE simulation and RSM results

in the present paper provide useful information to address the feasibility of the actual production process. Product

quality can also be improved. The risks of tool redesign and

modifications are minimized.
