On 8 February, TWI held a webinar dedicated to ‘Innovations in Joining Technology for Electric Vehicle Manufacture.’
The popular online event, which saw 231 registrants from 41 different countries, included a presentation from our automotive programme manager, Sullivan Smith.
Sullivan’s wide-reaching talk investigated technologies for aluminium car body production with a specific focus on:
- Laser welding quality monitoring development
- Resistance spot welding of aluminium for high volume applications
- The use of friction stir welding to produce hot formed and quenched tailor welded blanks
- Coreflow®, generation of integrated cooling channels into structural aluminium components
- Dissimilar joining of aluminium to steel and carbon fibre composites
