In this paper the manufacturing of a side impact beam, with the aid of local heat treatment, is described. The beam has two areas where the risk of fracture is high. Two zones of the blank, corresponding to these areas, are therefore heat treated before stamping to reduce the risk of fracture. The material is a martensitic steel with a virgin tensile strength of 1200 MPa. The heat treatment is made by laser to an approximate temperature of 850° Celsius. This heat treatment reduces the strength of the material to a tensile strength of approximately 650 MPa after cooling. The formability is increased accordingly. The method of local heat treatment with the objective to increase formability in selected areas can be seen as an alternative to the use of conventional tailor welded blanks.

Tailored Heat Treated Blanks (THTB) are blanks that exhibit locally different strength specifically optimized for the succeeding forming process. The strength distribution is set by a local, short-term heat treatment modifying the mechanical properties of the material. Hence, THTB allow enhancing forming limits significantly leading to shorter and more robust manufacture process chains. In order to qualify the use of THTB under quasi series conditions, the interdependencies of the blank’s local heat treatment and the entire process chain of the car body manufacture have to be analyzed. In this respect, the impact of a short-term heat treatment on the mechanical properties of AA6181PX, a commonly used aluminum alloy in today’s car bodies, was studied. Also the influence of a short-term heat treatment on the coil lubricant, usually already applied by the material supplier, was given a closer look. Based on these experiments process restrictions for the application of THTB in an industrial automotive environment were derived and a process window for the THTB design was set up. In conclusion, strategies were defined how to enhance the found process boundaries leading to a more robust process window.

The article analyzes the results of a study of the influence of zonal heat treatment on the structure of welded joints of pipeline elements made of titanium alloys Ti-3.5Al-1.5Mn. In the manufacture of such structures, the TIG welding method is used to join pipe elements, after which the heat treatment method can be used to relieve residual stresses. The experiments have confirmed the effectiveness of zonal heat treatment preceded by welding. It was revealed that for welded joints made of titanium alloys, heat treatment can stabilize the structure. In experiments conducted by the method of optical metallography, the structure of heat treated and untreated welded joints was investigated. The influence of heat treatment on the weld structure and heat-affected zone was identified.
