Study of Solidification Cracking Susceptibility during Laser Welding in an Advanced High Strength Automotive Steel

Susceptibility to weld solidification cracking in transformation-induced plasticity steel sheets was studied using a modified standard hot cracking test used in the automotive industry. To vary the amount of self-restraint, bead-on-plate laser welding was carried out on a single-sided clamped specim...
