Abstract: Laser welding of advanced high strength steels for fabrication of tailor welded blanks is of increasing interest for continued improvements in vehicle performance and safety without an increase ...

Abstract: Limiting dome height (LDH) tests were used to evaluate the formability of laser butt welded blanks of the dual phase 980 steel in comparison with the base metal. Two different lasers were ...

Abstract: Understanding effects of welding on strength and formability is critical to support wider application of advanced high strength steels in automotive components. In this study, High Strength Low ...
