Engineers have an alternative to traditional sheet-metal joints for making lightweight, compact joints in tubes ranging from 1 to 4 in. in diameter: the Jr. Rigid Coupling from ...

The metal tabs that are to be bent should be between 0.12 and 0.8 in. thick. And the metal should have the ductility to stay in place and not spring back after being bent.

In order to optimize the joining of mixed and problematic compounds for series production, LZH scientists developed processes for joining two- and three-sheet metal joints with high welding speeds of ...
