Abstract
Weight reduction, increase of structural stiffness and passive safety are major challenges for achieving the new concept of automobile and truck bodies. In past few years, it led to wide use of tailored blank made of steel and aluminum alloys thanks to actual state of laser welding technique which enables high welding speed, narrow area of heat influence, system of automatic control and detection of defects. Examples of use, tool problems and introduction in new conceptions for tool production are given in this paper.
