Comparative Study by Numerical Analysis on the Formability of Deep-Drawn Tailor-Welded Blanks

Article Preview

Abstract:

The realising of complex parts by welding together and then deep-drawing metal sheets made of different steel types or even different metal types can have many advantages, such as decreasing the part’s weight, reducing the manufacturing costs and an increased dimensional precision. In order to benefit from these results, a detailed knowledge of the metal sheets’ behaviour during deep-drawing is necessary. The current paper aims to compare, using numerical simulations based on the finite element method, the deep-drawing behaviour of parts made of steel sheets of different thicknesses welded together in three different manners and also of a part made of a monoblock blank.
