The combination of tailor welded blank (TWB) and hot stamping often offers improved crash-worthiness and reduced mass of stamped parts in the automobile body. To investigate the formability of laser TWB and the reliability of weld line, the present study used 22MnB5 boron steel sheet of the same thickness and used the Erichsen cupping test at elevated temperatures. The effects of laser direction, die temperature, weld line positions and forming speed on formability(the limiting dome height) were studied and the results were compared with the formability of the base material.

The forming failure of AZ31 alloy sheet during deep drawing processes was predicted by the FEM and ductile fracture criteria. Uniaxial tensile tests of round-notched specimens and FE simulations were performed to calculate the critical damage values for three ductile fracture criteria. The critical damage values for each criterion were expressed as a function of strain rate at various temperatures. In order to determine the best criterion for failure prediction, Erichsen cupping test under isothermal conditions at $250^{\circ}C$ were conducted. Based on the plastic deformation histories obtained from the FE analysis of the Erichsen cupping tests and the critical damage value curves, the initiation time and location of fracture were predicted under bi-axial tension deformation. The results indicate that the Cockcroft-Latham criterion had good agreement with the experimental data. In addition, the FE analysis combined with the criterion was applied to another deep drawing process using an irregular shaped blank and these additional results were verified with experimental tests.

핫 스탬핑은 오스테나이트 변태 온도 이상에서 프레스 성형 후 급속히 냉각되는 고강도 부품을 제조하는 성형 방법이다. 매우 적은 양의 보론 성분을 가지고 있는 보론강은 핫 스탬핑에 사용되는 재료 중의 하나이다. 본 연구의 목적은 열처리 조건에 따르는 기계적 성질과 에릭슨 커핑 시험에 의하여 성형성을 조사하는 것이다. 다양한 온도에서 다이��칭은 대기 시간을 달리하여 실시하였다. 1173 K-0s에서 ��칭 후 TWB는 1203 MPa의 인장 강도를 얻었다. 이것은 모재 인장강도(1,522 MPA)의 79 %이다. 금형 온도(298, 523, 673 K)에 따른 보론강 TWB의 성형성은 차이가 크지 않았다. 그러나 성형 속도가 증가함에 따라 성형성이 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
