The Forming Limits Prediction Model for Tailor Welded Blank with Straight Seam

Article Preview

Abstract:

The forming of tailor-welded blank is an important technology to body light weighting. While it is difficult to predict the forming limits of tailor welded blanks with different base materials or thickness. For the expanding experiments, an analytical method to predict forming limit height of tailor-welded blanks is established based on the deformation characteristic and plastic theory, and verified by simulation results. This method is not only provided a path to predict forming limit of tailor welded blanks but also provided references to the design of tailor weld parts.
