6.3. Tension Test of Welded 1050H14 Al Base Crash Box Material<br />

The stress-strain curve of welded 1050H14 Al sample is shown in Figure 6.4(a)<br />

together with that of Al sample without welding for comparison. As is seen in Figure<br />

6.4(a), the failure strain of the welded sample is relatively low, 3%. The yield strength<br />

(0.2) and ultimate strength of the welded sample are 70 MPa and 82 MPa, respectively.<br />
