This project aims to assess easier and cheaper quality assurance of spotwelded joints by controlling the electrode indentation.
2016 – 2017
The aim with the project is to test a new method to join thermoplastic composite to metal in a lap joint by using a focused TIG arc, as a heat source, to heat the metal side just enough so that the composite melts and join to the metal. The method gives single sided access, no need for additional filler material and makes invisible joints possible. The objective is to have a joining method that is robust, gives high productivity and high quality as well as cost advantages.
2012 – 2013
This project aims to enable robust spot welding of aluminum with existing infrastructure through innovative solutions.
2015 – 2016
The project will develop a non-destructive testing method based on laser-ultrasonics (LUS) aiming for mechanized quality control of joints in industrial environments.
