Abstract
The manufacturing method includes a first step in which a pad holding state is established and a second step in which pad draw forming is performed after the first step is completed. In the pad holding state, (a) a part of a blank 15 to be formed into a top plate 21 is held between a pad 13 and a punch 11, and a part of the blank 15 to be formed into a flange 25 is held between a die 14 and a blank holder 12, (b) in a specific press directional cross section of a part of the blank 15 to be formed into a first part, the position of the contacting surface of the blank holder 12 that makes contact with the blank 15 in the direction of pressing is located toward the punch 11 in the direction of arrangement of the pad 13 and the punch 11, compared with the position of the contacting surface of the pad 13 that makes contact with the blank 15 in the direction of pressing, (c) a vertically-reversing cross-sectional angle is more than 0° and equal to or less than 80°, and (d) in a press directional cross section that is different from the specific press directional cross section, the position of the contacting surface of the pad 13 that makes contact with the blank 15 in the direction of th…
