An elongate weld and a beam having such a weld

摘要

A hat profile (11) has a tensile strength exceeding 1400 MPa and it has soft bands (20) with a tensile strength below 1100 MPa on its side flanges (15,16). The profile is welded to a cover (17) by single rows of weld dots (18). The side flanges have high strength zones (21,22) on both sides of the soft bands (20).
