The current work deals with numerical simulation connected to forming of a rectangular shaped part made from tailored blanks, having the welding line positioned symmetrical with respect to the part geometry. The objective was to study the relation between the blank holder force applied during forming and the thinning of the parents materials. All the parameters are fixed except the blank holder force, its variation will cause variation of the material thinning. The presented work is trying to demonstrate the important role of the blank holder force on the material thinning during the deep drawing process. It must be mentioned that both materials from the welded structure are having the same thickness (1mm). The Dynaform 5.8.1 software is used to simulate the forming process. The part obtained after each simulation is analyzed and measured to quantify the on the material thinning. All the parameters are maintained fixed except the blank holder force. The obtained results for five different binder forces (5, 10, 30, 50, 70 kN) were compared to realise the behaviour of the tailor welded blanks during deep drawing process. In the final part of this paper conclusions regarding the influence of the blank holder force on the material thinning are presented.

Tailor Welded Blank

Application of tailor welded blanks (TWBs) in automobile industry and aircraft manufacturing have been increased during past few years. Efficient material distribution and decreasing weight of the final part are some of the most important advantages of TWBs. Since tailor welded blanks are produced with at least two dissimilar and uniform or non-uniform thickness materials, they show different behavior than uniform materials during deep drawing process. In this research, the effect of weld line orientation on formability in deep drawing of tailor-welded blanks is examined using finite element simulation and experiments. The thinning behavior of the circular TWBs during a deep drawing in a square die is studied for different weld line orientations between two mild-steel blanks with different thicknesses. The numerical and experimental results indicate that the orientation of the weld line direction of the blank sheet has significant influence on the deformation behaviour. It is seen that thinning behavior is similar for two sections of TWB for the same weld line orientation. In addition, the most thinning occurs at 45 degree rotation of weld line, thus appropriate weld line orientation or the tailor blank sheets direction orientation can improve the formability of the tailor-welded blank in a deep-drawing of square cup.

Due to the increase of lightweight design in car bodies, there is a raise in use of tailored welded blanks (TWB). With these blanks it is possible to strengthen the car body where it is necessary. This can lead to less weight. In the case of tailored welded blanks, there is a weld line, which influences the deep drawing behavior significantly during forming. In the presented results two different high strength steels (HCT980X and HCT600X) are welded together. One forming operation is performed, in which the weld line is positioned differently. The results show the influence of the weld line on the forming behavior which is realized by the comparison of deep drawn monolithic parts with the deep drawn tailored welded blanks. While the monolithic parts could be formed without failure, the forming of tailored welded blanks was accompanied by cracks in dependency to the weld line orientation and the applied load in this region. The results also show that the failure occurs in the base material and that the weld line is not damaged by the applied load. After the characterization of the base materials and the weld material, a numerical modelling of the whole TWB could be realized in this work. Two different ways of modelling techniques of the weld line are compared and the necessity of the consideration of the weld line properties is demonstrated. Furthermore, in consideration of the weld line properties in the FE-Model, it is possible to show that the weld line resists the forming operation without failure.
