Abstract
Demand for lightweight materials in the automotive, aerospace, construction and other related industries has increased multifold in recent years due to environmental concerns, government regulations and consumer demand. Lightweight metal alloys are the preferred choice of these industries due to their low density and high specific strength, as well as other attractive features such as corrosion resistance, dimensional stability, etc. Lightweight metal alloy tailor welded blanks are widely considered nowadays for their functionality and aesthetics. With recent advances in the relevant manufacturing technologies, production of these tailor welded blanks has become feasible at low cost. The salient features and functions of different lightweight metal alloys and their role in tailor welded blank manufacturing are discussed in this chapter.
