Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A press forming method of press forming a formed part including a top portion having a concave outer edge with a part of the outer edge being concave inwards and a flange portion subjected to bending forming along the concave outer edge of the top portion includes: a first forming step of forming a preformed shape part including, in a part where the flange portion is formed in a blank material, a vertical wall portion that becomes a part of the flange portion and a mountain shaped portion that is bent outwards from the vertical wall portion and is convex towards the top portion; and a second forming step of forming the flange portion by performing bending forming on a part including the mountain shaped portion of the preformed shape part formed at the first forming step along a bending line that is a boundary from the vertical wall portion.

1 . A press forming method of press forming a formed part comprising a top portion having a concave outer edge with a part of the outer edge being concave inwards and a flange portion subjected to bending forming along the concave outer edge of the top portion, the press forming method comprising: a first forming step of forming a preformed shape part including, in a part where the flange portion is formed in a blank material, a vertical wall portion that becomes a part of the flange portion and a mountain shaped portion that is bent outwards from the vertical wall portion and is convex towards the top portion; and a second forming step of forming the flange portion by performing bending forming on a part including the mountain shaped portion of the preformed shape part formed at the first forming step along a bending line that is a boundary from the vertical wall portion. 2 . The press forming method according to claim 1 , wherein the first forming step comprises: holding a part of the blank material, the part becoming the top portion, between a pad and a first die; and Forming a part of the blank material, the part becoming the flange portion, by a first punch, and the second forming step comprises: holding a part of the preformed shape part, the part becoming the top portion, between the pad and a second die; and forming the flange portion by a second punch that is along a shape including the mountain shaped portion of the preformed shape part.
