A shearing die for preventing damage of a die tool in shearing of a super-high-tension steel sheet and a press-forming method using the same. The shearing die for shearing a metal sheet in a direction intersecting a first-sheared edge of the metal sheet in press-working including a plurality of shearing processes to produce a formed article from the metal sheet by press-forming, in which the shearing die comprises a fitting part that can detach a shearing blade in the vicinity of a region coming in contact with an end of the first-sheared edge.

To reduce warping of vertical wall portions without causing buckling during pressing. Press-forming into a hat cross-sectional shape having one linear vertical wall portion and the other curved vertical wall portion and not having a flange portion is performed. A punch and a pad sandwiching a top sheet portion therebetween, bending blades for bend-forming the vertical wall portions, and stoppers facing the bending blades are provided. The punch is supported by a first cushion component. The bending blades each have an upper die component and a lower die component disposed facing each other in the press direction with an interval (D) equal to a set compression amount in the range of 2% or more and 6% or less of the heights of the vertical wall portions and a second cushion component interposed between the upper die component and the lower die component, maintaining the interval (D), and contractible in the press direction. The cushion pressure of the second cushion component is lower than the cushion pressure of the first cushion component and has such cushion pressure that the second cushion component does not contract during the bend-forming of the vertical wall portions.

A press-formed product is manufactured by press-forming a blank material into an intermediate shape, and further press-forming the blank material from the intermediate shape into the press-formed product having a target shape. A product portion of the target shape includes a first ridge line portion and a second ridge line portion each having a radius of curvature of 20 mm or smaller and a bending angle of 130 degrees or larger. The product portion of the intermediate shape has a curved shape having a radius of curvature of 100 mm or larger or a linear shape in a specific cross section. A height of an excess thickness portion of the intermediate shape is higher than 10 mm with respect to a peripheral portion and lower than a height of the excess thickness portion of the target shape.

A machined article 100 includes a first member 101 including an inner peripheral portion 101a formed by a hole, and a second member including an outer peripheral portion 102a fitted into the inner peripheral portion 101a of the first member 101. At least either an inner peripheral recess 101b to be formed in part of the inner peripheral portion 101a of the first member 101 or an outer peripheral recess 102b to be formed in part of the outer peripheral portion 102a of the second member 102 is formed. A slit 103 penetrating from a front to a back is formed at a position to which the inner peripheral recess 101b or the outer peripheral recess 102b corresponds, between the first member 101 and the second member 102.

A manufacturing method of a plate member, in which a strip material can be positioned with respect to a die all through stamping operations using a pilot hole formed in an initial phase of the stamping operations. The plate member is manufactured by a press machine in which a progressive stamping die having a plurality of stations is placed. The manufacturing method comprises: forming an oval pilot hole 14 in an uncoiled strip 13; and stamping the uncoiled strip 13 by a plurality of operations while bringing a pilot pin 17 into contact with an inner edge of the pilot hole 14 at the operation before the pilot hole 14 is displaced, and at the operation after the pilot hole 14 is displaced.

The subject disclosure relates to a machine apparatus. The machine apparatus may perform work on one or more work pieces. The machine apparatus may be augmented or reconfigured to work on a plurality of different work pieces in specific and unique configurations.
