Rubber forming is one of the most important forming process in the manufacture of aircraft sheet metal parts. In order to improve the efficiency of rubber forming for typical parts, the springback problem produced in the rubber forming process aluminum alloy 6061 was researched. Firstly, the tensile test of aluminum alloy 6061 sheet in the new quenching state was carried out, and the basic material parameters were obtained as a reference for the constitutive relation and model of the material for the finite element simulation. Then, the forming limit tests of aluminum alloy 6061 were conducted, and the forming limit diagram was drawn. In order to obtain the springback angle of the curve flanging part, its forming process was simulated by finite element software Pamstamp 2G，and the springback compensation of die was conducted by the secondary developed springback compensation module based on theoretical springback algorithm. The results show that all the partial deviations are within 1°. Finally，through the actual forming test, the feasibility of finite element simulation and the reliability of springback compensation are verified.
