Microjoining

Microjoining encompasses techniques including welding, brazing, soldering, and adhesive bonding. Typically, the technology involves materials with thicknesses less than 0.5 mm. Micro-welding techniques can be applied to join both similar and dissimilar materials combinations. Here are some key applications of microjoining today: Power electronics for electric vehicles (EVs). The integration of small-scale components, such as...

EWI's Fundamentals of Welding Engineering course is back by popular demand! This long-running introductory class for engineers and technicians -- taught twice annually by EWI's welding specialists -- was curtailed during the coronavirus pandemic. With high demand for the course's return, the 5-day, comprehensive program will be offered twice in 2022: March 14-18 and October...

What are the best processes for joining miniature metal and plastic parts in commercial products? EWI has studied several techniques using different materials to determine effective microjoining solutions for manufacturers. This work is discussed in Plastics and Metal Joining: How Small Can You Weld?, a paper written by EWI associates Jeff Ellis, Miranda Marcus, Tim...
