Abstract
Springback of a high strength steel (HSS) sheet of 980 MPa grade was investigated at elevated temperatures ranging from room temperature to 973 K. From U-and V-bending experiments it was found that springback was decreased with increasing temperature at temperatures of above 573 K. Furthermore, springback was decreased with punch-holding time because of stress relaxation. In this work, the stress relaxation behavior of the steel was experimentally measured. By using an elasto-vicoplasticity model, the stress relaxation was described, and its effect on the springback of sheet metals in warm forming was discussed theoretically.
