DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0016]
 Press-molded product produced by the production method of this embodiment includes a top plate portion, and a vertical wall portion. Top plate portion has a stepped portion in the longitudinal direction. It stepped portion, extending from the end portion in the width direction, across at least a portion of the width direction. Vertical wall portion, adjacent to the top plate portion via a ridge portion on the end portion in the width direction there is a step portion of the top plate portion.
[0017]
 Method for manufacturing a press molded product of the present embodiment includes a first pressing step, a second press step. In the first press step, by using a first mold, molding the intermediate molded article from the workpiece. Intermediate molded article, and the step portion of the top plate portion, and a provisional vertical wall portion which at least part of the shape of the vertical wall portion adjacent the top plate is molded through the ridge portion, the ridge line portion of the provisional vertical wall portion having a provisional flange portion adjacent to the provisional vertical wall portion via the provisional ridge portion located on the end opposite the. In a second press step using the second die to obtain a press-molded product from the intermediate product. In a second press step, carrying out the molding of moving towards the provisional flange provisional ridge while restraining at least a portion of the top plate portion of the intermediate molded article.
[0018]
 In the production method of the present embodiment, press molding the workpiece in two different steps. In one step th intermediate molded article is obtained which is molded to a part of the height of the press-molded product (Completed). Intermediate product is provided with a provisional flange portion. To mold the provisional flange portion to the intermediate molded article, to restrain the region corresponding to the provisional flange portion of the workpiece in the mold. As a result, the flow of material with the progress of the press molding can be suppressed in the provisional flange. Therefore, the intermediate molded article, compared with one pressing step only press molded article molded by the shear strain causes wrinkles is suppressed. From intermediate product obtained in the first step first, when forming the remaining part in two steps first, as compared with the case of forming only one pressing step, shear distortion of the press-molded product (Completed) is suppressed that. This is because shear strain occurring in the intermediate molded article is small. Thus, wrinkles are less likely to occur in the press-molded product.
[0019]
 The height of the provisional vertical wall adjacent to the top plate portion of the lower stepped portion of the intermediate product (step lower) is preferably not more than 50% of the height of the vertical wall portion of the press-molded product. As described above, shear strain increases with the progress of the press forming. Therefore, a forming height of 1 step eyes if lower than the forming height of the second step first, can effectively reduce the shear strain of the intermediate molded article obtained in the first step first. More preferably, in the first pressing step, the entire region of the ridge line portion of the press-molded product is molded.
[0020]
 Tensile strength is low workpiece is likely to plastically deform. It is an area wrinkles when press-molding by a high tensile strength workpiece mold, the tensile strength is press-molding the lower workpiece tensile strength is low workpiece is plastically deformed mold order to adapt to, wrinkle is unlikely to occur. In the press molding of the tensile strength is low workpiece wrinkle is often particularly no problem. On the other hand, high tensile strength workpiece is wrinkle is likely to occur since it is difficult to plastically deform. Therefore, the manufacturing method of the present embodiment is particularly effective when forming a workpiece of high strength. Specifically, in the above manufacturing method, the tensile strength of the workpiece is preferably at least 590 MPa. The tensile strength of the workpiece is more preferably not less than 980 MPa.
[0021]
 The greater the height of the step portion of the press-molded product, large wrinkles. In the above manufacturing method, the height H of the step portion of the press-molded product, even prone conditions wrinkles satisfying the formula (1) below with respect to the radius of curvature R of the ridge line portion of the press-molded product, it is possible to wrinkle molding without.
 H ≧ 0.4R (1)

 [Press-molded article]
 FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the press-molded product produced by the production method of this embodiment. For illustration, on the fan to the top plate 2, and lower the fan to the flange portion 6. Press-molded product 1 includes a top plate portion 2, and a vertical wall portion 3. Top plate 2 has a longitudinal direction in the stepped portion 4, the stepped upper portion of the top plate 2a and the step bottom of the top plate 2c. Top plate 2a of the step upper leads a stepped portion 4. Stepped portion 4 leads the step bottom of the top plate portion 2c. Stepped portion 4 extends from the width direction of the end portion 2d of the top plate 2. In Figure 1, it shows a case where the step portion 4 exists over the entire width of the press-molded product 1. However, the stepped portion 4 may not be present in the entire region in the width direction of the press-molded product 1. Stepped portion 4 may Yokogire a portion of the width direction of at least press-molded article 1 (for example, FIG. 22). The end 2d of the top plate 2 there is a ridge portion 5. Contour of the ridge 5 is R configuration. In the following case will be described workpiece is a metal plate.
[0028]
 Vertical wall portion 3, adjacent to the top plate portion 2 via the ridge portion 5. Vertical wall portion 3 includes vertical wall 3a immediately below the stepped upper, the vertical wall portion 3b and the vertical wall portion 3c of the right under the stepped bottom just below the step portion. Vertical wall portion 3a immediately under the stepped top, adjacent to the top plate portion 2a of the step upper through the ridge 5. Vertical wall portion 3b immediately below the stepped portion, adjacent to the stepped portion 4 of the top plate portion 2 via the ridge portion 5. Vertical wall portion 3c of the right under the stepped bottom, adjacent to the top plate portion 2c of the step bottom through the ridge 5.
[0029]
 In Figure 1, it shows a case where the cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the press-molded product 1 is hat-shaped. Thus, the press-molded product 1 is provided with a flange portion 6. However, the sectional shape of the press-molded article 1 may not be hat-shaped. Specifically, and piece hat shape with only one flange portion 6, the flange portion 6 may have a groove shape becomes all during molding vertical wall. Further, the press-molded product 1 may not be a hat-type or the like, may be of a half shape of the shape (see FIG. 21). The step portion 4 may not be across the top plate 2 (see FIG. 22). Further, may be the one stepped portion 4 of the press-molded product 1, 3, may be four there, the number of the stepped portion may be any number.
[0030]
 As shown in FIG. 1, wrinkles occur vertical wall portion 3b and the vertical wall portion 3c of the right under the stepped bottom just below one if only bending molding step the step portion of the press-molded article having a stepped portion 4 to the top plate 2 It's easy to do. It will be described later wrinkle mechanism of occurrence of. Further, generation of wrinkles of the press-molded product is related to the radius of curvature R of the height H and the press molded article ridge portion of the cross section of the stepped portion of the top plate. The greater the height H of the step portion of the top plate, large wrinkles. Smaller radius of curvature R of the cross section of the ridge portion, large wrinkles.
[0031]
 The present inventors, the relationship between the size of the radius of curvature R and wrinkles of the ridge line portion of the height H and the press molded product of the step portion of the top plate of the press-molded product was investigated by simulation.
[0032]
 Figure 2 is a diagram illustrating the size of the wrinkles in the case of bending a press-molded product as shown in Figure 1 only in one step. The vertical axis of FIG. 2 shows the difference △ 1 / [rho maximum value and the minimum value of the principal curvatures. 2, the horizontal axis represents the ratio H / R of the curvature radius R of the ridge line portion of the step portion of the top plate of the press-molded product height H and the press molded product. In the simulation shown in FIG. 2, it was variously changed the ratio H / R of the curvature radius R of the height H and the edge line portion of the press-molded product of the step portion of the top plate of the press-molded product as shown in Figure 1. Further, in the simulation shown in FIG. 2, as a workpiece, using JAC270DC and JSC980Y defined by the Japan Iron and Steel Federation Standards. Square marks in Fig. 2 shows the results of the JAC270DC, rhombic marks represent the results of JSC980Y.
[0033]
 In the simulation shown in FIG. 2, it was investigated principal curvatures 1 / [rho at any point of the vertical wall portion 3c of the right under the bottom step of the press-molded product. To calculate the difference △ 1 / ρ between the maximum value and the minimum value of the main curvature 1 / ρ, it was used as an index of evaluation of wrinkles. △ about 1 / ρ is large, indicating that the generated wrinkle is large. As shown in FIG. 2, the value of the ratio H / R is less than 0.4 △ 1 / ρ was not significant change. However, if the ratio H / R is 0.4 or more, △ 1 / value of ρ is increased and the wrinkle generation is, the ratio H / R is compared with the case of less than 0.4, was particularly noticeable. The main curvatures were calculated by the same method as in Example to be described later.
[0034]
 As described above, in order to suppress wrinkles generated in the vertical wall portion 3c of the right under the vertical wall portion 3b and the step bottom immediately below the stepped portion of the press-molded product drawing is suitable. However, since the easily cracked when draw forming a metal plate of high strength, it is not possible to mold the press-formed product shape as an object of the present invention only one drawing. Accordingly, the present inventors have also by press-forming by bending a metal plate of high strength, a manufacturing method capable of suppressing wrinkles generated in the vertical wall portion 3b and the vertical wall portion 3c of the right under the stepped bottom just below the step portion investigated.
[0035]
 The present inventors have found that the press-molded product having a step portion in the top plate (hereinafter, simply referred to as "press-molded product".) Was investigated size of wrinkles when molded in only one bending . Specifically, we investigated the shape of the workpiece in the press forming by simulation by FEM (Finite Element Method).
[0036]
 3 to 5 are diagrams showing a simulation result when molding a press molded article shown in FIG. 1 by bending by one step. FIGS. 3-4 shows the shape of the workpiece during press forming. Figure 3 shows a press-molding an early stage. Figure 4 shows a medium-term press molding. Figure 5 shows the steps in press molding is complete. In Figure 3-5, for ease of understanding, wherein a cross-sectional view of a mold in each stage.
[0037]
 3 and 4, more than meat occurs and constrained by the upper and lower molds to define a loose as region X. The region X is a region serving as a vertical wall portion 3c of the right under the vertical wall portion 3b and the step bottom just below the step portion at the molding bottom dead center (see FIG. 5). On the other hand, the vertical wall portion 3a immediately below the stepped upper does not correspond to the region X for more than meat has not occurred. Also, does not correspond to the region X for no flange portion is also too meat is a plate end. Wrinkles occur when a large meat more than in the region X. In particular, the vertical wall portion 3b immediately below the stepped portion is deformed to absorb the meat more than (shear deformation) wrinkles order is generated occurs at the time of molding tends.
[0038]
 6, the stress state acting on the vertical wall portion immediately below the stepped portion of the press-molded product of the present embodiment is a view schematically showing. During molding of the press-molded product, the microelements A of the vertical wall portion 3b immediately below the stepped portion, in order to absorb more than meat produced in the region X, the shear stress T12 acting in-plane direction of the workpiece. The shear stress T12 is decomposed and the compressive stress S1 and tensile stress S2 represents the main stress. When such stress is loaded, microelement A square is deformed into a parallelogram. In other words, microelement A is sheared. Therefore, the shear strain generated in the microelements A. The shear strain is one of the causes to deteriorate the wrinkles of the press-molded product.
[0039]
 The degree of wrinkles caused by too meat when press forming the hat shape of the press-molded product having a step portion, which depends on the width of the top plate portion. If the width of the top plate portion of the step lower W2 (see FIG. 1) is less than 3 times the radius of curvature R of the ridge line portion of (W2 ≦ 3R), wrinkles the width direction of the tensile stress of the press-molded product is effectively act less likely to occur. On the other hand, when the width W2 of the top plate portion is larger than 3 times the radius of curvature R of the ridge line portion of (W2> 3R), wrinkles are likely to occur. The radius of curvature R, in the ridge portion in the width direction end portion of the step portion, means the radius of curvature thickness center in the cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
[0040]
 The degree of wrinkles caused by too meat when press forming the hat shape of the press-molded product having a stepped portion is also dependent on the thickness of the workpiece. Thickness of the workpiece is because governing the flexural rigidity of the workpiece. As the plate thickness is thin wrinkle is likely to occur.
[0041]
 Furthermore, the extent of wrinkles caused by too meat when press forming the hat shape of the press-molded product having a stepped portion is also dependent on the yield strength of the workpiece. Meat-odd during press molding is because caused by out-of-plane deformation under elastic deformation. Wrinkles as the yield strength of the workpiece is high likely to occur.
[0042]
 The present inventors have decreased the shear distortion of the vertical wall portion 3b immediately below meat odd and the step portion of the region X that occurs during molding of the press-molded product 1, the vertical wall portion 3b immediately below the stepped portion of the press-molded product 1 and wrinkles generated in the vertical wall portion 3c of the right under the stepped lower studied a method of inhibiting, to give the following findings.
[0043]
 In order to suppress the occurrence of wrinkles, when forming the ridge portion at the end of the step portion is formed by out-of-plane deformation, it is essential to reduce as much as possible the elastic out-of-plane deformation. In other words, actively plastically deforming the ridge portion, it may be reduced as much as possible out-of-plane deformation that increases with the progress of the press molding.
[0044]
 Accordingly, the present inventors have found that separate the press-molding step of press-molded article 1 into a plurality. The present inventors have found that in the first pressing step, and the step portion of the press-molded product, and the ridge portion of the portion adjacent to the step portion, adjacent to the top plate portion via the ridge portion was vertical wall portion of the part a region adjacent to the stepped portion through the ridge portion of the provisional vertical wall shape is formed, it was found to be molded. Forming of the step portion, it is desirable to mold the entire region of the step portion along a ridge line portion, it is not necessary to mold the entire region of the step portions along the ridge line portion. Inhibiting effect of the wrinkles generated by molding the part of the area of ​​the step portion is. The present inventors have found that after the first pressing step has been found that forming the remaining portion in second and subsequent pressing step. After the first pressing step, since the mold once the release, it is possible to suppress the out-of-plane deformation that increases with the progress of the press molding. Wrinkles result, thin thickness, and / or the workpiece of high strength, has a step portion, and be formed into a press-molded article having a broad top plate width, due to too meat the occurrence can be suppressed.
[0045]
 Subsequently, the present inventors have found that in order to confirm the effect of the above-mentioned ideas, was simulated by FEM.
[0046]
 7 to 9 are diagrams showing the simulation results in the case of forming a press-molded article shown in FIG. 1 in two press forming. 7 to 9 show the shape of the workpiece during the forming of the vertical wall portion. In the simulation shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, shaped to the top plate portion and the ridge portion of the press-molded product shown in FIG. 1 in one step eyes were molded the rest in two steps first. Figure 7 is one step th press molding is completed, an intermediate molded article when the mold release. Figure 8 shows a state during press forming two step eyes. Figure 9 shows a press-molded product when the press molding of the second step first is completed. Further, the formed height of 7 to 9 is the same as the forming height of 3 to 5.
[0047]
 As shown in FIG. 7, the meat-odd workpiece region interim flange portion 16 of the intermediate molded article 11 Y (corresponding to the region X in FIG. 3) was smaller than in the case shown in FIG. Then, to obtain a press-molded article 1 by press-forming the intermediate molded article 11 is molded in one step first in two steps first. As shown in FIG. 9, wrinkles to be read from the main curvature of the vertical wall portion 3b and the step bottom directly below the vertical wall portion 3c immediately below the stepped portion of the press-molded product 1 is significantly compared to the press-molded article shown in FIG. 5 It was suppressed. This will be described with reference to FIG. 10.
[0048]
 Figure 10 is a diagram showing the magnitude of the shear strain at any point of the vertical wall portion 3b immediately below the stepped portion with the progress of the press forming. The vertical axis of FIG. 10 shows the magnitude of the shear strain, the horizontal axis represents the formed height of the vertical wall portion 3a immediately below the stepped upper.
