In mass production of car bodies laser beam welding offers different well known advantages as for example high feed rate, high weld quality and minimized heat affected zone. It is therefore applied to different production purposes as e.g. for the welding of tailored blanks, which are an important element of net shape engineering nowadays. Concerning tailord blanks this paper shows, that tensile strength and formability of laser welded aluminium alloys attain values up to those of the basic material. It is also reported about the influences of joint geometries on quality and tensile strength of sheet-extrusion joints on aluminium alloys.
