Notes:
Taking advantage of high-tech welding methods, a concept is formed in sheet metalforming community. The so-called tailor-welded blanks (TWBs) are sheet metals that are weldedtogether prior to forming. This technology dates back to the 80’s, and numerous studies areconducted in order to explore different aspects of it. This review paper concerns with mechanics ofTWBs. The paper is divided into three major chapters. The first chapter is devoted to mechanicalproperties of TWBs. Tensile testing, tensile properties, and hardness of TWBs are covered in thischapter. The second chapter deals with the formability of TWBs. The formability testing methods,effect of different parameters on the formability of TWBs, material flow phenomena, control ofmaterial flow, stress and strain distributions, and springback behavior are covered in the secondchapter. The third chapter is focused on failure and fracture of TWBs. Failure modes and failurecriteria are the principal topics of this chapter
