Conference - Joining in Automotive Engineering Programme for Europe's largest three-day in-depth Joining Conference
23 - 25 April 2008 »Joining in Automotive Engineering« Advanced processes for car body, chassis and powertrain Module 1: Adhesive bonding and hybrid bonding in body-in-white shop and assembly Module 2: Mechanical, thermal and hybrid bonding processes for car body, chassis and powertrain Design demands and cost pressure are drivers for smaller flanges, slimmer weld seams and shorter cycle times …? Design features represent the brand more than ever and are a unique selling point. In order to meet all new requirements of future automotive engineering, the automotive industry relies on increasingly complex mixes of advanced materials and semi-finished products. No matter, if the choices are blanks, tubes, sections and castings made of steel, aluminium, magnesium or plastic components, it is the joining process, which ultimately determines whether the assembly of components and modules is economically feasible. The decision which joining process to use is "quite simple". Only those new technologies will make inroads into volume-series production, that "offer maximum cost-efficiency in one clamping operation" - provided that all requirements for thermal influences, crash performance, stiffness and dampening noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) are met. That is why JOINING processes are under enormous pressure both in terms of cutting costs and adding value. |
