Flexible forming excellent (FFX) forming of electric resistance welding (ERW) pipe is an advanced roll forming method. In order to understand FFX forming mechanism and set reasonable roll parameters, five-point bending process and springback process for preforming section of ERW pipe FFX forming are analyzed. Under various assumptions, the bending process of sheet metal is divided into full elastic bending stage and elastic-plastic bending stage by analyzing the forming law and simplifying the contact state model of roll bending process. Based on the theory of plane bending theory, the five-point bending springback model is established. Mathematical expressions of bending curvature and rotation angle of arbitrary particle on plate under arbitrary state are derived. The curvature calculation formulas of each particle on plate after springback are obtained, and then the calculation formulas of bending angle and rebound angle after springback are obtained. The theoretical analysis results are verified by the wide plate five-point bending experiment. The theoretical value of springback angle agrees well with the experimental results. The maximum deviation of springback angle is 0.42 degrees. The results show that the five-point bending model is reasonable. It provides theoretical support for the preforming model of flexible roll forming.

Bending in a V-die has been used to indicate the outcome of bending in cold roll forming, although little direct correlation has been performed. In this work direct comparison of the springback in both processes was performed using six samples of automotive steels in a conventional roll forming line where the transverse springback is measured. A bend of similar radius was formed in a V-die and the springback determined. In general, the springback in V-die forming was greater than in roll forming, in some cases by a factor of 2. The theoretical springback angle was determined for all steels using a simple and approximate analytical equation and compared to the experimental roll forming and bending results. While for the roll forming process good agreement was achieved the theoretical values significantly underestimated springback in the V-bending process.

Abstract Warpage is one of the main defects in multi-pass roll forming. It manifests as the horizontal deviation in the sheet flange part after forming, impacting the final quality of the sheet. In this manuscript, we focus on the cap-shaped part of a small section profile. Considering the lack of previous scientific guidance on the distribution of forming angles—angles that lead to warpage defects and other defects reducing the quality of these products—a five-boundary condition distribution function of forming angle is proposed. We propose a mechanism for warpage defects in roll bending of a cap-shaped part based on this five-boundary condition forming angle distribution function. Furthermore, we examine the effects of forming angle, sheet thickness, and material yield strength on the warpage defects by examining the designed fluctuation of the edge wave, ∆z, and the maximum deviation of the profile curves of the flange edge, z', to test this theory, roll bending experiments are compared to simulation.

Roll forming is a well known bending process and sheet metals can only be machined into two-dimensional surfaces in traditional roll forming. While with more and more personalized demands, three-dimensional surfaces are widely required. Thus, flexible rollers are used to achieve three-dimensional surfaces. And in order to optimize experimental parameters and to predict experimental results, finite element method (FEM) is developed. In this paper the set-up of flexible roll-forming is described and the process of roll forming is simulated. Then the influences of forming parameters, such as the thickness and the roll velocity, on forming quality of the sheet metal in roll forming process are discussed. The results show that the analysis of flexible roller parameters is practical for the continuous and efficient forming of three-dimensional surfaces.

The analytical solutions for the deformations of straight-ends in three-roll bending process of thin-plate were presented. Based on the theoretical analysis on the loading and unloading during roll-bending, the curvature equations governing the bending behavior of thin-plate were set up and then solved by integration. Numerical examples were given to illustrate the application of the solutions. The curvature and deflection distributions on straight-ends were shown in graphically and discussed.

As a result of unequal reduction, the sideways movement of the strip at the entry is occurred in in-plane roll-bending process with conical rollers. This will reduce the shape quality of the formed ring. To control the sideways movement, FE simulations with applying unilateral and bilateral guide planes are carried out by employing ABAQUS/Explicit code. The results show that, the strip moves towards the bottom end and scratches with guide plane at the trailing end if applying unilateral guide plane; the sideways movement can be controlled effectively with circularity of 0.993 and maximum deviation ratio of 12.5% for the formed ring if applying bilateral guide planes.
