A flexible incremental roll forming process has been developed by adopting the advantages of the incremental forming process and the roll forming process: i.e., inherent flexibility of the incremental forming process and continuous bending deformation of the roll forming process. It has an adjustable roll set as a forming tool composed of one upper center roll and two pairs of lower support rolls, which plays a key role during forming process. Through the experiments based on the various combinations of process parameters, it is shown that the incremental roll forming process is so effective as to manufacture various doubly curved sheet metals including concave-convex combination shapes in which there exists a line of inflection. The proposed relationship of the experimental parameters and the radius of curvature of the formed sheet boundary is found to be useful in prediction and control of the final shape.

In this paper, multi-pass roll forming process is simulated with a commercial FEM software. From these simulations, detects like excessive thickness decrease were estimated. And effects of springback, idle roll without force, and self-contacts between materials were also predicted. As a result, the defects of the forming process and the numbers of the roll pass can be decreased. And these analyses will be able to design the optimal roll forming process.

The roll forming process is commonly used for the conventional 'Fe' metal products such as a furniture drawer guide or an up-down slide guide. Recently its applications are variously expanded to the sanitary facilities or electronic devices. It is essentially required the cleanness for the high technology application and any corrosion or rust are not allowed. Therefore, in those applications the stainless steel materials are strongly demanded as the substitution of 'Fe' steel. However the mechanical properties of stainless steel are not suitable for forming process compared with those of 'Fe' steel. Up to now, the conventional F.E.M.(Finite Element Method) has been used to analyze and design the roll forming process. The purpose of this research is to obtain the proper production process and the shape of rolls to manufacture the high precision slide rails made of stainless steel material. The commercial program, SHARPE-RF, is used to analyze the entire roll forming process. The results show that the rolling process and the roll design by F.E.M. are useful from the good agreement between the shapes of products estimated by F.E.M. and those of the actual products.

In order to manufacture a doubly curved sheet metal effectively, a flexible incremental roll forming process has been developed by adopting the advantages of the incremental forming process and the roll forming process by combining inherent flexibility of the incremental forming process and continuous deformation of the roll forming process. The forming method has been further enhanced to form general quadrilateral blanks (including a square, a rectangle, a symmetrical trapezoid and an asymmetrical trapezoid, etc.) into doubly curved shapes by controlling the forming paths developed by various experiments.

The spring-back and bow phenomenon in the roll forming process are important factors regarding the accuracy of evaluation of production goods. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of spring-back and bow phenomenon according to the main variables (forming velocity and roll gap). The material of the forming sheet was high tension steel (SPFH 590), which has been used commonly in recent years. In order to accurately measure the spring-back and bow phenomenon, the forming sheet was formed into a V-shape. The study was applied to OFAT (One Factor at a Time) experimentation, with respect to the experimental variables (the forming speed and the roll gap). In the experimental results, the forming speed had a small influence on the spring-back and bow phenomenon. However, the roll gap had a greater influence on the springback and the bow phenomenon, as opposed to the forming speed.

The back beam for a automotive bumper was roll formed to improve performance, reduce weight and save cost. For the back beams produced by conventional stamping and roll forming, the crashworthiness analyses were carried out by numerical simulation and real impact test. The characteristic properties and applicability of the roll formed back beam are discussed from the results of the analyses.

A roll forming process is developed for an automotive part of high strength steel. Forming rolls are designed through the plane strain elastic-plastic finite element analysis to estimate the springback. It is assumed that the process can be approximated as a series of multi-step bending processes. Then the 3D elastic-plastic finite element analysis with the solid element is carried out for the designed roll forming process. The prototype roll forming machine and the forming rolls are made and the experiments are carried out. The results of the analysis and the experiments are compared.
