Are you facing issues with springback when upgrading to DP or martensitic steel? Do you think the springback you’re experiencing is a function of the stronger steel? Or your forming processes? Or the design of your component? At SSAB, we have worked on springback questions on a daily basis for over 30 years. In this webinar our senior forming specialists Peter Alm and Lars Troive will help clarify the most important and fundamental considerations when planning for springback.

In this webinar our senior forming specialists Peter Alm and Lars Troive will help clarify the most important and fundamental considerations when planning for springback. As a result, you’ll be better equipped to create springback simulations that more tightly correlate to actual parts production.

While showing some real-life AHSS automotive part examples, Peter and Lars will cover the following:

  • The types of AHSS springback.
  • Strain in radius in simulation.
  • What influences springback? Discussing parts design, AHSS material models, and types of forming processes.
  • Estimation of springback in pure bending, applying the SSAB BendCalc-app, and the material model in behind.
  • How to stabilize your forming process by selecting appropriate tool grades for AHSS parts.
