Abstract
Residual stresses are locked-in stresses in the material that is free of external forces and thermal gradients. These stresses self-equilibrate within the cross section of the material and can result in unexpected failure if not accounted for. A good knowledge of variation of the residual stresses and its distribution is of great importance for the accurate assessment and evaluation of fatigue life of cold-formed components. The present study is based on the experimental and numerical characterization of residual stresses in the tailor welded blanks of interstitial free steel with a thickness combination of 0.8 mm × 1.5 mm after springback using a new cos α technique using a portable X-ray device (μ-X360 residual stress analyser). The longitudinally welded specimens of tailor welded blanks are tested on V-bending set-up with three different punch profile radii, i.e. 10, 12.5 and 15 mm, and the residual stress is measured on inner and outer side of the tested samples. The effect of the punch profile radius on residual stress after springback is observed to be very significant in bending of tailor welded blanks. As the punch profile radius increases, residual stress decreases for a given thickness combination. The residual stress predicted by simulations agreed well with the experimental results for all punch radii except a few cases.
