Purpose: Authors have suggested employment of dilatant fluid for metal forming tools, and report an application on v-bending of thin stainless steel strips in this paper. Design/methodology/approach: An alumina concentrated hard-sphere suspension is employed as dilatant fluid for forming. The authors evaluate the suspension with backward extrusion test. Then, the authors try to bend SUS304 stainless strip with 0.25 mm thickness and 30 mm width on the pad of the suspension with a v-bend punch. Findings: Behaviour of the suspension is revealed in backward extrusion test. Migration of water takes important role in it. In v-bending test, including acute angle bending, the authors bend the strip with only the v-bend punch and the alumina concentrated hard-sphere suspension pad successfully. It is thought that forming load is less than with general polyurethane tools. Research limitations/implications: Spring-back in partial bending, which is similar to the suggested process, is larger than in bottoming and coining with dies and bending with polyurethane tools. Therefore, the authors are going to evaluate the spring-back in the suggested process in further study. Practical implications: Polyurethane pad is used in bending process generally because of advantageous points in easy-design, and safe from scratch. However it has disadvantageous points in its limited life and necessity of large forming load. The alumina concentrated hard-sphere suspension can be employed for such the pad with unlimited life. In addition, such the dilatant fluid can be applied on other metal forming process as easy tool. Originality/value: Employing dilatant fluid for forming tools is new idea. Authors try v-bending with an alumina concentrated hard-sphere suspension.
