  • Patent number: 9884468
    Abstract: Disclosed are a tailor welded blank and a manufacturing method thereof. The tailor welded blank is manufactured by connecting blank elements of different materials or thicknesses, thereby eliminating quality problems in a welded zone. A hot stamped component is manufactured by hot stamping the tailor welded blank formed by laser-welding blank elements made of coated steel plates having different strengths or thicknesses using a filler wire, wherein a laser-welded zone has a martensite structure.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150167111
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is method of manufacturing an automobile part having different local strengths, more particularly, a method of manufacturing an automobile part using a steel sheet subjected to heat-treatment hardening and having different local thicknesses. The method includes preparing blank sheets using steel sheets subjected to heat-treatment hardening and having different thicknesses or different material properties according to desired strength; forming a blank assembly by joining the blank sheets to each other via laser welding; cold-pressing the blank assembly; and heating the cold-pressed part to a temperature of AC3 or more, followed by quenching the cold-formed part received within dies to remove residual stress while increasing strength of the automobile part.
