Laser Welding Feasibility Analysis
Experts from ArcelorMittal R&D can study tailored blanks in order to provide data preparing the design study in an optimum design. These first studies are characterizations and risk removals.
Different Objectives:
- Compare performance of tailored blanks with different steel grades
- Obtain a first feasibility assessment of a part
- Provide data for analysis of numerical stamping simulations of a tailored blanks part
- Such data are usually completed by the Forming Limit Curve of the Laser welded area.
Strong Expertise in Laser Welding Technology
The «Fiber Laser» technology gives high power (up to 8 kW) with a high beam quality.
Our Knowledge Covers:
CO2 from 6 kW to 12 kW
YAG up to 4 kW
Fiber from 4 kW to 6 kW
Disk up to 8 kW
Direct Diode up to 6 kW
The objective is an experimental evaluation of the formability of the laser welded seam; the acceptable value depends on the part severity.
Such analysis is composed of different steps:
- Blanking quality analysis
- Hardness measurement in the weld area
- Weld geometry
- 180° Bending test
- Erichsen test
- Tensile test
- U-forming test
- Forming analysis – Visio plasticity
