Components in aluminium alloys: mechanical and/or sealing joints
Industrial need
Producing robust and/or hermetic structural joints on aluminium alloy components, while ensuring an economically viable solution for automotive and energy applications.
IREPA LASER solution
Design of the welded assembly. Proof of concept, optimisation of the laser welding process and preparation of a high-volume production installation. Adaptation of process parameters to ensure robustness, leak-tightness and reproducibility.
Technical challenge
Producing robust and hermetic structural joints on aluminium alloy components for automotive and energy applications. Ensuring the leak-tightness and reproducibility of assemblies in an industrial production context.
Results achieved
The project made it possible to clearly define the machine specifications and rapidly launch a production line. The process is qualified, robust and suited to high industrial throughput rates.
