Method of Evaluation of the Properties of Thin Steel Sheets by Springback Test

Abstract:

Production of thin packaging sheets has gone through significant changes in recent years. Thickness of thin packaging sheets has decreased from 0.24mm down to 0.14 – 0.18mm due to the material saving, and the thickness of tin coating layer has decreased as well. Thin packaging sheets with the thickness lower than 0.18mm are produced with so called double reduction. Materials produced with this method possess higher strength properties and lower plastic properties. There exist several tests for examination of strength and plastic properties. Requirements of the processors of these sheets are that these tests are simple, without a complicated production of specimens, and easily repeatable. Exactly because of these reasons, the springback test is used for evaluation of double reduced packaging sheets by many processors from various countries. This contribution compares properties of double reduced thin packaging sheets obtained with the springback test, uniaxial tensile test and biaxial tensile test. Goal of this comparison is to objectify mechanical and plastic properties of packaging sheets obtained with the individual tests.
