Introduction of drawbeads can minimize the springback.Springback which in the elastic recovery occurs after the sheet metal forming process will result inaccurate geometry of the deformed parts.The objectives of this project are to study the influence of various geometries of the drawbead to the spring back for the mild steel sheet metal. To achieve the objectives, the computational investigation analysis by finite element method based simulation package will be employed to analyze the best drawbead geometry to reduce springback on mild steel. Drawbead applied to control the material flow in a stamping process and improve the product quality by controlling the drawbead restraining force. A simulation approach by using ABAQUS software used to study the influence of adding drawbeads geometry, whether it helps in minimizing the springback. There are four types of drawbeads geometry involve that investigated that is: (1) without drawbeads, (2) circular drawbeads, (3) rectangular drawbeads and (4) triangular drawbeads. The result shows that the triangular drawbeads reduce springback more compared to other geometry. ©2006-2016 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN).
