Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for manufacturing a press-formed product includes: a first step of preparing a long material having a bending portion; and a second step of decreasing curvature of the bending portion while restricting both ends of the long material in a longitudinal direction.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing a press-formed product, comprising: a first step of preparing a long material having an elongated web portion and a vertical wall portion, the elongated web portion having a bending portion, the long material being the press-formed product, the long material having distal end surfaces; and a second step of compressing the bending portion in a longitudinal direction by decreasing curvature of a concave side of the bending portion while restricting both ends of the long material in the longitudinal direction at the distal end surfaces of the vertical wall portion and by increasing a cross-sectional area of the long material. 2. The method for manufacturing a press-formed product according to claim 1 , wherein in the second step, the curvature decreases while the shortest distance between both ends of the long material is constantly maintained. 3. The method for manufacturing a press-formed product according to claim 1 , wherein in the second step, the curvature decreases while a shortest distance between both ends of the long material decreases. 4. The method for manufacturing a press-formed product according to claim 1 , wherein in the second step, the curvature decreases while at least a concave side of the bending portion of the long material is supported. 5. The method for manufacturing a press-formed product according to claim 1 , wherein in the second step, the curvature decreases in stages. 6. The method for manufacturing a press-formed product according to claim 1 , wherein planes including edges of both ends of the long material are parallel with each other. 7. The method for manufacturing a press-formed product according to claim 2 , wherein in the second step, the curvature decreases while at least a concave side of the bending portion of the long material is supported. 8. The method for manufacturing a press-formed product according to claim 3 , wherein in the second step, the curvature decreases while at least a concave side of the bending portion of the long material is supported. 9. The method for manufacturing a press-formed product according to claim 1 , wherein the bending portion has a vertex portion at a convex side thereof, and in the second step, decreasing the curvature of the bending portion by pressing only the vertex portion of the bending portion while restricting the both ends of the long material in the longitudinal direction at the distal end surfaces.
