Research group Thermal Joining
The research group Thermal Joining of the Chair of Joining Technology and Assembly at the Technische Universität Dresden deals with process and joint analysis, resulting in application-oriented process developments. The focus lies on process evaluation and monitoring, process development and quality assessment of resistance welded, soldered and brazed joints.
