Investigation on the Elongation of Tailor Welded Blanks with Different Thickness

Article Preview

Abstract:

Tailor welded blanks (TWBs) get popular used in the automobile for the light-weighting, and the assessments for TWBs formability are more and more important owing to the TWBs with different thicknesses. In this paper, based on the tensile test and low carbon high strength steel (ZStE220P), the influences of seam location and the length of sample on the elongation are studied, and the results shows that the location of seam has greater effect on the formability of TWBs and elongation is getting decreased with the seam shifting to the thinner part.
