Abstract (en)

A press die for use in a steel pipe forming process of bending a plate material to form a preformed body having a U-shaped cross section, pressing the preformed body to form an open pipe, which is a tubular body having a seam gap portion in a longitudinal direction, and thereafter joining the seam gap portion to form a steel pipe. The press die includes a pair of dies. The preformed body is installed in one of the pair of dies such that the other die is opposed to a U-shaped open side of the preformed body, and the preformed body is pressed while the preformed body is held between the pair of dies. A surface of each die to be in contact with the preformed body has an arc portion having a diameter equal or substantially equal to an outer diameter of the steel pipe such that an arc center is located at a position coincident with a bending center of the die. The arc portion in each die has a central angle equal to or larger than 70 degrees, and a total angle of the central angles of the dies is smaller than 360 degrees.
