THE RIGHT JOINING TECHNOLOGY
Material concepts in modern car body lightweight design
are explicitly governed by the demand for „the right
material in the right place“. Whatever solution is consid-
ered “right”, however, immediately raises the subsequent
question: Do we have all the “right” joining technologies
available, at all relevant production sites, for all required
joining geometries, for all necessary material combina-
tions, offering sufficient mechanical strength, excellent
process reliability and cost efficiency?
The three-day Automotive Circle conference “Joining in Car
Body Engineering 2016” is again dedicated to addressing
exactly this question, discussing newest technological
solutions presented by international OEM, trailblazing
system suppliers and leading research institutions. Follow-
ing its proven structure with two overlapping modules on
Adhesive Bonding and Hybrid Bonding (Module 1) and
Thermal and Mechanical Joining (Module 2), the confer-
ence once more sets out to assemble its global network of
expert engineers to exchange their views and experiences
and to benchmark the current state of the art in car body
joining technologies.
We are looking forward to
meeting you in Bad Nauheim!
