This paper presents the results obtained by numerical simulation regarding springback phenomenon of a part manufactured from tailor welded stripes. The final shape of the formed part is seriously affected by springback phenomenon. This paper work is trying to prove the important role the metal sheet thickness on the springback effect. The part has different springback values for each material from the welded assembly structure. The influence of the sheet thickness on the tailor welded stripes springback is examined by finite element method using Abaqus Standard for forming process and Abaqus Explicit for springback of the obtained part.
