Abstract
Tailor Welded Blanks (TWBs) can offer significant benefits in terms of weight reduction, cost and performance. This paper considers the influence of the laser weld on the formability of TWBs in a range of steels with yield strengths from 150 MPa to 585 MPa. The formability of a laser weld in ErichseKeywords
