In sheet metal forming processes, the forming limit diagram is frequently employed as a
criterion for predicting necking initiation. This is one of the most useful and effective methods …

Basically, the use of forming limit diagrams has been increased and dertermined as a
recognizing technique for obtaining tailor welded blank's formability. In this present …

Weld zones in tailor welded blanks have different mechanical properties than the base
metals and thus have significant effects on formability. In this work, flow stresses of weld …

In the present study, Ti–6Al–4V alloy sheets having a thickness of 1.6 mm and 2 mm are
chosen for carrying out weldability studies using gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process …

The formability of two types of tailor-welded blanks was analyzed with the concentration on
the effects of planar anisotropy on eras forming of deep-drawn parts. The first tailor-welded …

Due to higher demands for tailor welded blanks (TWBs) applications in the transportation
industry, it is important to understand their forming characteristics in manufacturing …

The main objective of this project is to investigate the influence of pin profiles on formability
of friction stir welded aluminum tailor welded blanks by experimental and finite element …

Application of tailor-welded blanks is proved to be very effective in the current trend of body
parts construction. However, their formability is limited to the differences of mechanical …

To satisfy the lightweight demands of auto body panels, high and ultra-high strength sheet
metal becomes widely used nowadays. Auto body panels with large dimension, thin wall …

This paper analysed the local thickening of tailored blanks using Finite Element Method. In
this process, local thickening was produced at the centre of the sheet by beading and …
