Abstract: This paper presents a study of spring-back in the JCO forming process for welded pipe with diameter 1067 mm, wall thickness of 19.1 mm of X70 based on the plate bending theory by the method of FEM analysis combining with production practice. The true stress-true strain curve from a tensile test is used as the material description. Springback has been studied for five different bending angles of varying punch displacement. The results from the simulations compared with those from practical production, good correlation being achieved. The work shows that the finite-element method can be used to predict JCO geometry. The relationship between punch displacement, the bending angle under loading and after springback, and springback angle is deduced and can be used to optimise process parameters and guide the production practice.
