he aim of FlexHyJoin is to develop a pilot scale production cell for joining an application-oriented multi-material roof stiffener, which is ready for implementation in the automotive industry.
Both materials contribute with their unique properties to create components with enhanced performance.
On the one hand, composite parts provide flexibility and good lightweight properties while on the other hand, metals guarantee the necessary structural resistance, resulting in a more favorable performance/cost ratio. Therefore, it is necessary to provide joining technologies for TP-FRPC and metals which guarantee reliable joints in a pilot scale joining process.
Apart from complementing joining technologies the cell is also enhanced by:
Fully automated, online process control and supervision
Integrated surface pre-treatment
