TWB Engineered Blanks
Curvilinear / 2D seams for greater flexibility
TWB Engineered Blanks are tailored blanks with curvilinear welds which allow the
same product advantages as our tailor welded blanks when a linear weld seam does
not meet the product requirements. In this way, our engineered blanks can meet requirements
for weight, strength, stiffness, forming behavior, crash performance and material
utilization all at the same time.
Advantages of tailored engineered blanks
In addition to the advantages of tailored products, engineered blanks offer these
additional advantages over tailored blanks with linear welds:
- More flexibility with regard to weld seam orientation
