Hot stamping of AA6082 tailor welded blanks: experiment and FE simulation
An advanced forming technology, solution Heat treatment, Forming and in-die Quenching (HFQ®), has been employed to form AA6082 tailor welded blanks (TWBs). In comparison with conventional stamping of TWBs, the mechanical properties and formability of AA6082 laser TWBs could be improved under the HFQ...
