A tailor welded blank (TWB) is a welded blank comprised of two or more sheets with different properties - thickness, strengths or formabilities. TWBs are applied to the body panels to reduce weight and cost of the part. In this research, ultra high strength steel and high ductility steel were joined and laser tailor welded blanks were implemented. Yb:YAG laser welding tests were conducted with various welding conditions, and mechanical and geometrical characteristics of weldments were evaluated.

1960년 인류 최초의 레이저 빔 발진이 성공한 이후, 불과 40년 만에 레이저는 우리 생활의 일부분으로 여겨질 만큼, 그 활용이 광범위하게 이루어지고 있다. CD 플레이어에서 반도체 레이저는 데이터를 읽어 음악을 만들어 내며, 놀이 공원에서는 환상적인 영상 쇼를 연출하며, 인터넷으로 세계를 잇는 광케이블에도 레이저가 정보를 전달하고 있다. 또한 레이저는 프린터로 활자를 인쇄하고, 물품의 바코드를 인식하며, 양복을 재단하며, 강판을 자유자재로 절단, 용접하기도 하며, 얼굴의 점과 여드름 제거 및 라식 수술도 널리 행하여지고 있다(중략)

High bending collapse performance (maximum resistance force and mean resistance force) of body center pillar is an important design target for vehicle safety against side impact. In this study, effect of the upper section shape and the thickness of outer reinforcement on bending collapse performance was investigated for the center pillar of a large passenger car. First, through bending collapse analyses using simple models with uniform section, an optimized center pillar upper section was chosen. Next, bending collapse performance for various models of the actual center pillar with changing the thickness of outer reinforcement were analyzed. The finally designed model showed distinctive enhancement in bending collapse performance nearly without weight increase.
