Components in stainless steels: mechanical, thermal and sealing joints

Producing robust structural and/or sealing joints between stainless steel components, while ensuring an economically viable solution suited to automotive production requirements.

Proof of concept, process optimisation and preparation of a production installation. Material selection, welding parameters and joint robustness defined with a view to industrialisation.

Producing robust structural and sealing joints between stainless steel components, with an economically viable solution suited to automotive production requirements.

The project made it possible to clearly define the machine specifications and rapidly launch a production line. The process is qualified, robust and compatible with industrial productivity requirements.
