The effect of an AlSi coating on the microstructure and mechanical properties of fiber laserwelded, presshardened steel is examined in the present work. It is shown that mixing of the AlSi coating significantly modified the fusion zone microstructure, which was found to be a combination of martensite and delta ferrite in both the welded asreceived and hotstamped conditions. In contrast, a uniform distribution of alpha fer rite and martensite was observed when the asreceived sheet was welded then hot stamped. The ferrite phase was found to be rich in Al and Si, which retarded the kinetics of martensite formation, increasing the ferrite fraction after hot stamping of the welded coupon. Micro and nanoscale hardness measurements on ferrite suggest it is a softer phase compared to martensite; therefore, inducing strain localization and premature fracture during tensile tests occurred. The strength of allwelded joints was found to be dependent on ferrite phase fractions, since this promoted premature fracture, and dete riorated joint strength and ductility.
