Innovative joining techniques for creating techniques for creating light-weight aluminium structures in railway vehicle production

摘要

Starting from the development in railway vehicle manufacture, the authors describe today's materials, types of construction, join- ing techniques, joint and weld types, filler materials and regulatory documents. In addition, they present new processing equipment and engi- Neering principles. On the basis of these findings, they show the perspectives of new Construction principles for light-weight aluminium structures and Identify the requirements, the new joining techniques have to meet.
