Laser welding and brazing of dissimilar materials
F. Möller and C. Thomy, BIAS – Bremer Institut für angewandte Strahltechnik GmbH, Germany
Abstract:
Mixed-material joints between, for example, aluminium and steel or aluminium and CFRP are increasingly used in modern automotive, airplane or ship lightweight structures. The chapter addresses the present state-of-the-art and future perspectives for laser-based joining of such material combinations, focusing on both joining processes and joint properties.
