Title: Forming Limits of Weld Metal in Aluminum Alloys and Advanced High-Strength Steels

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1004542· OSTI ID:1004542

This work characterizes the mechanical properties of DP600 laser welded TWBs (1 mm-1.5 mm) near and in the weld, as well as their limits of formability. The approach uses simple uniaxial experiments to measure the variability in the forming limits of the weld region, and uses a theoretical forming limit diagram calculation to establish a probabilistic distribution of weld region imperfection using an M-K method approach
