Abstract: A manufacturing method of a press-formed article (200) including: press-forming a metal sheet into a preformed article (100) including a preformed bottom sheet portion (110), a first preformed standing wall portion (120a), a second preformed standing wall portion (120b), a preformed ridge portion (130) provided between the first preformed standing wall portion (120a) and the second preformed standing wall portion (120b), and a swollen portion (140) provided between the preformed bottom sheet portion (110) and the first and second preformed standing wall portions (120a) and (120b); and press-forming the preformed article (100) into a press-formed article (200) including a bottom sheet portion (210), a first standing wall portion (220a) adjacent to the bottom sheet portion (210), a second standing wall portion (220b) adjacent to the bottom sheet portion (210), and a ridge portion (230) provided between the first standing wall portion (220a) and the second standing wall portion (220b).

Abstract: A method for producing a press-formed product includes a first pressing step and a second pressing step. In the first pressing step, an intermediate formed product is formed from a processed material by using first press tooling. The intermediate formed product includes a stepped section of a top plate section, a temporary vertical wall section adjacent to the top plate section via a ridge section and having at least part of the shape of the vertical wall section, and a temporary flange section adjacent to the temporary vertical wall section via a temporary ridge section. In the second pressing step, the press-formed product is formed from the intermediate formed product. In the second pressing step, forming is performed such that the temporary ridge section is moved toward the temporary flange section with at least part of the top plate section of the intermediate formed product restricted.

Abstract: A press forming method includes a first step of pinching one part of a metal sheet by means of a die and a pad, and a second step of moving a punch in a direction in which the punch approaches the die relatively to perform press forming on the metal sheet. The die has a first support surface which has an edge including a curved portion. The pad has a second support surface facing the first support surface of the die. The first support surface includes a first flat portion, and a first deformation portion which protrudes or is recessed with respect to the first flat portion. The second support surface includes a second flat portion which faces the first flat portion, and a second deformation portion which is recessed or protrudes with respect to the second flat portion so as to correspond to the first deformation portion. The first deformation portion is provided on a normal line of the curved portion as viewed from a pressing direction.
