Resistance welding, mechanical joining and adhesive bonding are three of the most productive and cost-effective joining technologies widely applied in manufacturing industry especially in automotive, aerospace and electronics industries. Resistance spot welding is mostly used for joining thin sheets such as in assembly of car body-in-white, while resistance projection welding is more used for complex or small parts such as nut welding, electronic circuits and electrical connectors. Mechanical joining processes include riveting mostly used in assembly of airplanes, and self-piercing riveting (SPR) and clinching mostly used in assembly of cars especially for joining aluminum sheets and dissimilar materials such as between aluminum and steel or between metal and carbon fiber materials. Adhesive bonding is increasingly used in car body assembly to improve the global strength and stiffness of the car body-in-white and crash performance.
These joining technologies are constantly being advanced with modern innovations and computer technologies…
