BS EN 10359 is a European standard on laser-welded tailored blanks that discusses the best procedures and specifications required for manufacturing high-quality laser-welded tailored blanks.
BS EN 10359 describes the requirements for laser-welded tailored blanks made of alloyed and unalloyed steels, of uniform or different steel grades and with or without metallic and/or organic coatings, having a uniform or different sheet thickness. It applies only to the (Tailored Blanks) as-supplied condition of tailored blanks.
After the welding process, tailored blanks are further processed to pressed parts by forming operations under the responsibility of the processor. In the design of the component, due consideration should be given to the fact that the weld seam is less formable in comparison to the base material.
BS EN 10359 on laser-welded tailored blanks is relevant to:
A tailored blank is a flat sheet made from two pieces of metal, placed - in the case of laser welding side by side and butt welded. After welding, blanks are formed into components such as door panels, engine rails, and sunroof reinforcements.
BS EN 10359 provides guidance on requirements, tolerances on dimensions and shape, destructive testing of weld joints, cup test.
As a user of BS EN 10359, you can be ensured of the welding process of laser-welded tailored blanks. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 10359, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality laser-welded tailored blanks made of alloyed and unalloyed steel. BS EN 10359 exemplifies the required tolerances on dimensions and shape that help you achieve precision in terms of product functionality and specification. With BS EN 10359 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets. BS EN 10359 provides you with comprehensive information useful throughout the process of production.
