Abstract
This paper refers to some experimental tests concerning the formability and springback of a U-shaped part manufactured from tailor welded stripes. The final geometry of the obtained part is seriously affected by springback phenomenon. This paper work is trying to prove out the important role of welding line direction with respect to the forming force direction has on the springback phenomenon. The influence of the welding line orientation on the tailor welded stripes springback is examined during experimental tests using transversal and longitudinal welding line.
