This paper deals with some experimental and numerical tests related to tailor welded stripes forming and springback. Final shape of the parts manufactured by TWB is seriously affected by springback effect. This paper work is trying to prove the important role that friction coefficient has on the springback reduction. Experimental and numerical tests have been carried out using different friction coefficient and maintaining constant all other parameters. The experimental resulted parts were measured using a 3D scanning machine. The simulations have been done using ABAQUS software.
