The forming of low and high strength tailor welded steel sheets into preferred three-dimensional shapes by a homogeneous distribution plastic strain is highly difficult. In this work, the formability tailor-welded blanks prepared using laser welding (IS 513 CR2, IS CR3) tensile (AISI 304) were analyzed formation edge profile weld line movement was also examined. results showed decrease in chara...

Abstract In recent years, the demand for a reduction in pollutant emission has become extremely important vehicle industry. It can be achieved through fuel consumption reduction, which is direct function of vehicle’s weight. nowadays weight widely controlled by use advanced- and ultra-high strength steels (AHSS UHSS) body construction. With application such steel sheets as chassis elements, cra...

A finite element model is proposed to investigate the effect of thickness differential on Limiting Dome Height (LDH) testing aluminum tailor-welded blanks. The numerical validated via comparison equivalent plastic strain and displacement distribution between simulation results experimental data. normalized LDH values are as a means quantifying influence for variety different ratios. Increasing ...
