TY - JOUR A1 - Heßmann, Jennifer A1 - Hilgenberg, Kai A1 - Bachmann, Marcel T1 - An electromagnetic approach to dissimilar metal welding JF - Laser Systems Europe N2 - To save weight without affecting the functional properties of vehicles, heavy materials must be replaced with lighter alternatives.Modern lightweight concepts have therefore been developed, featuring multi-material designs that require the joining of dissimilar materials.One new possible approach for the joining of dissimilar metals is based on laser welding and melt displacement by contactless induced electromagnetic forces.
