Abstract
In the automotive industry lighter vehicles are needed with more fuel-efficient engines, due to reduced fleet consumption. Many development deals with new materials, but steel will remain probably the primary material for vehicle structures. Other materials, like new high-strength steel grades are finding their way into vehicle structures. Aluminium and magnesium with low-density and fiber-reinforced composites are increasing in demand in the vehicle industry. For the new materials new bonding technologies are needed. Bonding these new materials are the most important in this research.
