A tailor welded blank (TWB) includes two or more blanks joined together in order to make a
single blank. Different welding methods are used to join blanks with different characteristics …

Severe non-uniform deformation occurs in the forming of tailor-welded blanks (TWBs) with a
large difference in properties or shell thickness of base materials, which lowers deformability …

Due to remarkable difference in material properties of Tailor Welded Blanks (TWBs), when
subjected to uniform forming load, severe non-uniform metal flow and strain localization …

In the present work, aluminum tailor friction stir welded blanks (TFSWBs) of dissimilar grade
and gauge combinations were fabricated successfully with optimized parameters. The …

In this study, in order to obtain the maximum possible formability in tailor-welded blank
AA6061 sheets connected by the friction stir welding (FSW) procedure, the incremental …

Tailor heat treatment (THT)-induced local material softening of precipitation-hardening alloy
sheet can provide a simplified process routine for the manufacture of shell components with …

Orbital friction crush welding (OFCW) is a new solid-state welding technology addressed to
join thin metal tubes without melting of the base metal. In this study, the base metal of the …

The deformation behaviors of FSW blank are complicated due to the incompatibility of the
mechanical property and microstructure for the weld and base material. In order to improve …

Industrial friction welding applications have increased in recent years, such as in electronic
packages, engines, fuel tanks, tubes, pipelines, and many other applications [1, 3]. Friction …

In most applications, joining aluminum to copper using friction stir welding (FSW) is a
primary manufacturing process followed by secondary forming processes. The aim of this …
