A manufacturing method of a press-formed article includes: forming a specified shape in a plate-like member made of metal; forming a convex portion in a portion that does not undergo deformation by the forming of the specified shape in the plate-like member; and flattening the convex portion.

A method for manufacturing a press formed product is disclosed. The method for manufacturing a press formed product includes: when a metal sheet is press formed to manufacture a product having a product shape of a hat-shaped cross-section, in which a top plate part and a flange part are continuous in a width direction through a side wall part and the top plate part and the flange part curve convexly or concavely toward the top plate part along a longitudinal direction, a first step of manufacturing an intermediate component by press forming into a component shape having a hat-shaped cross-section, in which a curve of each of the top plate part and the flange part along the longitudinal direction has a second curvature radius smaller than a curvature radius in the product shape; and a second step of press forming the intermediate component into the product shape.

[Object] To enable flexible molding of a punch-nose in press working for obtaining a molded product including a U-shaped portion in a cross-section. [Solution] Provided is a press-working apparatus configured to provide a molded product by performing press working on a work, the molded product including, in a cross-section, a U-shaped portion including a bottom, a wall, and a punch-nose between the bottom and the wall, the press-working apparatus including: a die in which a recessed portion to receive the U-shaped portion is formed; a first punch that sandwiches a central area of the bottom with a bottom surface of the recessed portion; and a second punch that is pushed into the recessed portion later than the first punch, to restrain the wall between the second punch and a side surface of the recessed portion, and sandwich the work with the bottom surface to mold a peripheral area of the bottom and the punch-nose. A sandwiching width of the first punch that sandwiches the central area of the bottom and a setback amount of the second punch from the first punch in a push-in direction are set on the basis of a target sheet thickness of the punch-nose.

A method for producing a press-formed product that includes a pair of flat sections and a bend section that connects the flat sections, in which a bending radius of the bend section is R.sub.2 and an interior angle formed by the pair of flat sections is .sub.2, includes the steps bellow. In the first forming step, an intermediate formed product including a bend section in which a bending radius is R.sub.1 and an interior angle is .sub.1 is formed. In the second forming step, a portion of a bend section of the intermediate formed product is formed into the bend section of the press-formed product. R.sub.1, .sub.1, R.sub.2 and .sub.2 satisfy the conditions of Formulae (1) to (3) below:
1.05<A.sub.1/A.sub.2(1);
1.0<R.sub.1/R.sub.2(2);
A.sub.1/A.sub.2<6.0/(R.sub.1/R.sub.2)(3), where, A.sub.1, A.sub.2 represents the supplementary angle of the interior angle .sub.1, .sub.2, respectively.

A method for manufacturing a molded member includes carrying out a multi-stage drawing process and at least one finishing ironing process on a base metal sheet, the molded member including a tubular body and a flange formed at an end portion of the body. The multi-stage drawing process includes a preliminary drawing process for forming a preliminary body having a body element from the base metal sheet, and a plurality of compression drawing processes performed after the preliminary drawing process, the compression drawing processes drawing the body element while applying compressive force along a depth direction of the body element to a circumferential wall of the body element. The at least one finishing ironing process is carried out such that a mold clearance of an upper portion of the body element is narrower than a mold clearance of a lower portion of the body element.

A method of forming a finished stamped product includes positioning a blank on a blank holder between an upper die and a lower die, inserting a movable wedge block between the blank holder and the upper die to establish a first binder gap, and while the movable wedge block is inserted, performing a first strike of the blank by lowering the upper die a first distance to contact and partially form the blank, the movable wedge block limiting downward movement of the upper die relative to the lower die. After the first strike, withdrawing the movable wedge block to establish a second binder gap between the blank holder and the upper die, and while the movable wedge block is withdrawn, performing a second strike of the blank by lowering the upper die a second distance to finally form the blank into the finished product.

A method for manufacturing a press formed product is disclosed. The method for manufacturing a press formed product includes: when a metal sheet is press formed to manufacture a product having a product shape of a hat-shaped cross-section, in which a top plate part and a flange part are continuous in a width direction through a side wall part and the top plate part and the flange part curve convexly or concavely toward the top plate part along a longitudinal direction, a first step of manufacturing an intermediate component by press forming into a component shape having a hat-shaped cross-section, in which a curve of each of the top plate part and the flange part along the longitudinal direction has a second curvature radius smaller than a curvature radius in the product shape; and a second step of press forming the intermediate component into the product shape.

A container, such as a beverage or food can is provided, which includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall and a bottom portion extending between the first and second sidewalls. The material of the bottom portion is stretched relative to the first sidewall and the second sidewall to form a thinned preselected profile, such as a dome. The material of the container at or about the dome has a substantially uniform thickness. The container is formed from a blank of material, which has a base gauge prior to being formed. After being formed, the blank of material of the container at or about the dome has a thickness less than the base gauge. Tooling having a clamp bead, or a progressive clamp bead, for selectively forming a blank of material into a container, as well as an associated method are also disclosed.
