ESTRADA PIMENTEL, Hugo et al. Adjust operating conditions of an in-made house horizontal hydraulic press for a 90° cold bending process. Rev. cienc. tecnol. [online]. 2023, vol.6, n.4, e326.  Epub 25-Jun-2024. ISSN 2594-1925.  https://doi.org/10.37636/recit.v6n4e326.

During the cold-bending process, the tooling suffers considerable damage due to excess pressure. This also causes the machines to break down, causing problems in the precision and quality of the metal parts formed. The precision depends on the operating conditions of the press, the tooling employed, and the elastic recovery effect of the material. This study determines the working conditions for a made-in-house horizontal hydraulic press through an experimental design (DOE). This research carried out the V-forming to 90° (ISO 2768-1) of a hot-rolled carbon steel plate, considering pressure, piston permanence time, and recovery factor (Kr). The experimental and statistical analysis ensures accurate forming while the work pressure decreases by 17% and 33%, respectively, regarding the maximum. This reduction will delay the appearance of fatigue damage and have the operating parameters well established; in turn, it will be possible to design tools according to commercial standards.
