Time: 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM EDT
Location: Online Event
Effects of Colloidal Graphite Coating on Weld Properties During Fiber Laser Welding of Al-Si Coated 22MnB5 Steel
In the automotive industry, the demand for reduced vehicle weight, improved safety and enhanced crashworthiness qualities continue to rise which introduces the need for parts with tailored properties. This demand can be met by employing tailor-welded blanks which are made of two or more types of press-hardened steels that are laser welded together and then hot-stamped to produce highly optimized parts for use in vehicle body-in-white applications.
