Doing more with less – Lightweight constructions by hybrid joints

Press release (Nr. XIII) - Fraunhofer IWS /

Joining of completely novel material combinations, new construction principles, and production processes guaranteeing high quality – these are the challenges to which enterprises and the scientists at Fraunhofer IWS have been standing up for years. Parts and assemblies are expected to be possibly light, strong, durable and reliable. The application of hybrid joints between metals and reinforced composites in the automotive, aerospace and many other areas are a new trend, which is significantly swayed by Fraunhofer IWS Dresden, and is presented at EuroBLECH 2016.
