Forskningstrender inom mekanisk fogning vid Centre for Joining and Structures Svets- och fogningsteknik, Elmia Karl Fahlström Research leader, Joining Technology Ph.D. student at University West karl.fahlstrom@swerea.se
Forskningsfokus för mekanisk fogning Svårsvetsade material Höghållfasta material R&D Fixturering vid limning Mixfogar CFRP
Svårigheter med olika materialkombinationer B-stål Fe Svårt att få B-stålet att deformeras Dålig låsning Svårt att penetrera fogen Sprött beteende Fe - Al Olika egenskaper efter fogning Korrosion CFRP - Fe Deformerad/delaminerad fiberstruktur Sprött beteende Korrosion
Borstål Lösning 1: Utan softzone Med softzone Lösning 2: Högre hållfasthet på nitar!
