New joining method for aluminum

Business idea
Deliver Hybrid Metal Extrusion & Bonding (HYB) for solid state joining of aluminum without loss of strength and severe cracking and corrosion problems.

Market
Marine, automotive, railway, oil and gas and aerospace

Uniqueness
Traditional fusion welding of aluminum leads to 50% HAZ strength reduction. It also leads to the formation of a fusion zone (FZ) with low cracking and corrosion resistance. The new revolutionary HYB technology solves this by allowing solid state welding at low temperatures using filler metal additions.
