Stretch forming is an important process in making complex stampings for autobody components. In the present work formability of three different types of tailor welded blanks (TWBs) in biaxial stretch forming modes has been studied by conducting limiting dome height (LDH) tests. The TWBs are laser-welded samples of low carbon and ultra low carbon steel sheets with difference in thickness, grade and surface conditions. In TWBs with difference in thickness, the LDH decreases as the thickness ratio increases and the thickness of the thinner side is also crucial. A high thickness ratio causes two major strain peaks on thinner side and fracture takes place due to strain localization at the peak close to the pole. The weld ductility and the extent of difference in properties are the two crucial parameters for formability in TWBs with difference in properties. In both these TWBs, the fracture takes place perpendicular to the weld line and propagates towards the stronger side. Significant weld line movement occurs towards the thicker/stronger side in biaxial stretch forming. The maximum weld line movement occurs at the pole and it increases with increase in thickness ratio and becomes constant beyond a certain thickness ratio. The peak load required to deform the TWB specimens is less compared to the corresponding parent sheets. In case of TWBs with difference in thickness, as the thickness ratio increases, the peak load reduces due to decreasing punch-blank contact area. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
