Springback best practices, diligently accumulated over decades, have been effective in managing dimensional compliance on mild steel and HSLA stampings--even with little or no support from virtual engineering tools. In the past dozen years, newer grades of advanced high-strength steels and aluminum alloys, however, have upended this store of accepted best practices and collective wisdom. The role of virtual engineering in the mitigation and management of springback for these materials is now clearly acknowledged. That said, best practices toward effective application of these tools are not widely and clearly understood. Measure, Mitigate, Control and Compensate is a systematic approach to engineering tools and processes that are truly “capable” of producing dimensionally compliant stampings. This presentation details what these four stages translate to in terms of actionable best practices.
