Abstract:
A production method includes a placement step, a first pressing step, and a second pressing step. In the placement step, a blank plate is placed in press tooling. In the first pressing step, the blank plate is caused to undergo bend forming in such a way that concave ridges, a concave area, and areas of concave-correspondence vertical wall areas that are areas adjacent to the concave ridges are formed in the blank plate. In the second pressing step, the resultant plate is caused to undergo draw forming in such a way that convex ridges, a convex area, areas of convex-correspondence vertical wall areas that are areas adjacent to the convex ridges are formed in the resultant plate.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for producing a press-formed product including two ridges, a top plate section located between the two ridges, and two vertical wall sections extending from the top plate section via the ridges,\n the two ridges each having a concave ridge convexly curved toward an inner side of the corresponding vertical wall section and a convex ridge convexly curved toward an outer side of the corresponding vertical wall section, a linear distance between a center of each of the concave ridges and a center of the corresponding convex ridge being 15 times a spacing between the two ridges or less, the top plate section having a concave area located between the concave ridges and a convex area located between the convex ridges, the vertical wall sections having concave-correspondence vertical wall areas adjacent to the concave ridges and convex-correspondence vertical wall areas adjacent to the convex ridges, the production method comprising: placing a blank metal plate in such a way that the blank metal plate extends off opposite sides of a vertex of a first punch; causing the blank plate to undergo bend forming by using the first punch, a pad, and a first die in such a way that the concave ridges, the concave area, and areas of the concave-correspondence vertical wall areas that are areas adjacent to the concave ridges are formed in the blank plate to produce an intermediate formed product; and causing the intermediate formed product to undergo draw forming by using a second punch, a second die, and a blank holder in such a way that the convex ridges, the convex area, areas of the convex-correspondence vertical wall areas that are areas adjacent to the convex ridges are formed in the intermediate formed product.
