Optimierung der Umformbarkeit lasergeschweißter Patchworkstrukturen
Abstract
The patchwork technology includes a local reinforcement of a base sheet by a small patch. Booth sheets, made of advanced high streght steels, can be favorably joined by laser remote welding. the load adapted patch geometry and specific seam sontours lead to an optimized forming behavior of the whole patchwork structure. A local inductive treatment partially enhances the formability furthermore. A forming-optimized patchwork design was developed by hydro-forming tests on model samples. The production and testing of two demonstrators proves the practicability.
