Abstract: In order to reduce the twist springback appearing after the stamping of high-strength steel, a compensation method with gradient die radius is proposed. The double C rail of TRIP780 high-strength steel is taken as the research object. The sheet metal stamping simulation software DYNAFORM is used to numerically simulate the stamping and twist springback processes of the double C rail. An index to evaluate the twist springback of the double C rail is proposed. The experiment of twist springback for the double C rail is carried out. The twist springback angle is measured by means of a three-coordinate measuring instrument, and the finite element model is validated. The twist springback appearing after stamping is taken as the optimization target, and the related process parameters are taken into account. BP neural network is used to establish the network model between the gradient variation of die radius, process parameters and the twist springback angle based on orthogonal test. Finally, the model is iteratively optimized using genetic algorithm to obtain the optimum gradient variation of die radius and process parameters. The twist springback angle is compared before and after the optimization, which proves the optimization flow efficient to reduce the twist springback of the double C rail. This method provides a new way for the control of the twist springback.
