The LIGHTWELD project focuses on advancing welding technologies for lightweight alloys in aircraft structures. By replacing traditional riveting with laser beam welding and resistance spot welding, it aims to reduce weight, lower costs, and enhance automation in manufacturing processes.
Riveting has been the state of the art of joining technology for aircraft structures since decades.
The necessary overlap joint demands a large amount of material which restricts weight savings.
Furthermore, the riveting process is quite intensive in process time.
The LIGHTWELD project aims at developing and adapting LBW and RSW for newly developed more weldable light alloys with the objective of:-Reducing weight through replacing the use of vast amount of rivets-Enabling the automation of joini…
