Joint efforts
In the intensive material mix of modern car body concepts, where more and
more different materials and material classes find their use for specific applications, reliable and efficient joining processes remain the key enabler for an
intelligent car body lightweight design – aiming at a maximum of weight reduction without compromising design requirements, with a maximum in product
performance and production flexibility, at mimimal costs. Current concepts and
process innovations concerning all joining technologies that are of relevance
in the body shop are therefore highlighted in the three-day Automotive Circle
International conference on „Joining in Car Body Engineering “, which, from
24 to 26 March 2015, again gathers its international network of car body
engineers to discuss and evaluate newest progress in joining technology and
corresponding considerations.

Live-Polls
Several times during the conference, the audience’s assessment of current topics
and trends in car body joining will be polled via an automated live polling system,
also with questions having a direct bearing to discussions raised on site. All conference participants have the opportunity to address the auditorium with their
own questions via this system.

Additional to the conference, the Joining in Car Body Engineering tutorials
“Adhesive bonding technologies” and “Thermal and mechanical joining technologies” provide newcomers with the theoretical and practical fundamentals
of joining methods used in today’s automotive production.
Tutorial 1
Adhesive Joining Technologies
Tutor: Prof. Lucas F.M. da Silva, Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, PT
\\Theory of adhesion
\\Adhesive selection
\\Joint design
\\Surface preparation
\\Joint fabrication methods
Tutorial 2
Thermal & Mechanical Joining Technologies
Tutor: Graham Wylde, TWI Ltd, GB
\\Thermal and mechanical joining methods and their mechanisms.
Overview on these methods: capabilities and limitations
\\Application of thermal and mechanical joining technologies in the
automotive production
The tutorials are aimed at:
\\Engineers in development, process planning and production,
requiring a fundamental overview on joining technologies
\\ Young engineers with relatively few experiences in such
technologies
\\ Technical experts facing new tasks and therefore needing to
intensify their knowledge on specific joining technologies
Fee: 495,–€ plus 19 % VAT per Tutorial
Magnetpulsfügen
Using the power of an ultra-short, but very strong magnetic pulse, modern lightweight materials can be firmly fused, formed or cut – without physically contacting the material. The attraction of magnetic pulse technology lies in its ability to
overcome existing limits: It allows to join vastly different material classes, with
a zero-gap weld connection, without any filler material, enabling to create meters of weld seams in milliseconds. High- and ultrahigh strength panels may be
formed or cut, without a punch tool, at the same velocity.
However, magnetic pulse technology is currently not widely known in car body
engineering yet, and there are only very few application examples – although
the technology has been put on the technology roadmaps of many companies.
Our Technology Briefing on this topic will acquaint you with today’s possibilities of magnetic pulse joining and related technologies and provide you with a
profound update on the requirements, potential and limits of this technology.
Your Expert
Professor Dr.-Ing. Stefan Böhm
holds the Chair for Machining and Joining (tff) within the
Department of Mechanical Enginering at the University of
Kassel, Germany, where he focuses on joining manufacturing technologies such as Adhesive Bonding, mechanical
joining, laser and electron beam welding, plasma welding,
resistance spot welding, friction stir welding and magnetic
pulse welding.
Technology Briefings offer you a compact overview on the state-of-the-art of
upcoming technologies, which, within the spectrum of topics of a given Automotive Circle International conference, are relatively new. Renowned experts explain
to you the fundamentals of the technology in question, its capabilities and limitations, and are available for discussions. The Briefings take for granted that
participants have a profound general knowledge on the related conference topic.
