Brazing & Soldering Lightweight Aluminum-Steel Structures for Automotive Applications
October 2023
Reducing the weight of materials in the automotive industry has become more relevant due to the advent of electric cars. The use of lightweight materials can significantly reduce energy consumption, thus increasing the range (mileage) of each electric battery charge. In modern automotive production, the problem of weight reduction is often solved by partially replacing steel with aluminum. As a result, brazing and soldering of steel-aluminum structures are now being extensively tested..
