The paper is dedicated to forming and properties of passenger car’s B-pillar reinforcement drawn from simple blank and alternatively tailor-welded blank (TWB). Drawn part is characterised by a place with a large strain, while forming process simulation did not confirm the creation of crack using the TWB consisting of dual phase HCT980X instead of previous HCT600 steel. It is because HCT980X steel has higher strength and lower ductile properties. The analysis of properties of drawn parts is focused on the simulated crash test in Dynaform software. Obtained sizes of drawn forces in simulated frame of the drawn parts and their comparison proved the possibility of the replacement the 1.2 mm thick simple blank from HCT600 steel with the 1 mm thick TWB consisting of HCT600 and HCT980X steel. The changed thickness of the simple blank caused 20% weight saving while containing the same properties of the drawn part.
