Bonded Dissimilar Materials

Applying dissimilar material bonding technologies to promote use of multi-materials

Bonding dissimilar metals and bonding metals to resins can increase added value by boosting performance and functionality. It can also reduce costs by allowing the substitution of lower grade materials. Iwatani bonds a wide range of different materials to offer solutions to a range of needs.

Description of Technology

Iwatani offers bonding technology optimized for the materials and configurations being bonded. *This is just one example of the bonding technologies we offer.

Fusing (Arc/Electron Beam/Laser Welding)

Fusing is the most common welding technique. Fusing involves fusing the parent material and filler or just one of the two. Iwatani not only offers technological solutions, but also provides a comprehensive range of welding methods, welding materials, gas, and equipment.

Pressure Welding (FSW/Ultrasonic Welding/Diffusion Bonding)

Pressure welding refers to joining processes in which components are joined by applying pressure and heat, the latter generated by explosive energy or friction. This offers great latitude in materials and dimensions and requires no additional welding materials. This makes it ideal for bonding dissimilar materials.

Chemical/Mechanical Bonding

This is a new technology for bonding metals and resins without adhesives. Modifying the metal surface makes it possible to achieve strong bonds via chemical and mechanical bonding between metals and resins.
