in this paper, the deep drawing process of tailor welded blanks is simulated using the finite element modelling and verified using the experimental results available in the literature. then the effect of die and material properties on the welding line movement is investigated. it is seen that the most effective material parameters on weld line movement are different between sheet metal thicknes...

The automotive industry is constantly looking for innovative techniques to produce lighter, more efficient, and less polluting vehicles comply with the increasingly restrictive environmental regulations. One of latest technologies, which still developing, based on fabrication body-in-white car parts through stamping aluminum tailor welded blanks. Tailor blanks (TWBs) are generally a combination...
