The T-section aluminum alloy window trim strip sheets are used to improve vehicle appearance. As the mobile scenery line, these window trim strips with claws need high forming accuracy to meet good assembly quality requirement. The top portion of the T-section sheet is stamped to form an edge flange structure. Springback control is essential in forming process. In this paper, the influence of the window trim strip geometric parameters on forming springback is studied. Some finite element models of the process were built with the Dynaform software. The simulation results were verified experimentally. The main conclusions include as belows: The different heights of the stiffeners part in T-section change the stiffness of the part. Although the stiffeners part does not participate in the forming, it also has springback in the forming process. So, it is necessary to study the influence of the flanging part width (W) and the stiffeners part height (H) of the T-section on springback. We set W to 15 mm and change the value of H value according to the real product. The value of springback increases with the increase of H value in the beginning. After ratio of H/W increases to 0.6, the value of springback fluctuates with the increase of H value. When ratio of H/W is about 0.5, the springback values are mostly less than ± 0.5 mm in key sections, which is acceptable.
