See how a flanged clip bonded to support channel ends enhances mesh deck load-bearing capacity
A thick screwless bolt section deforms the pilot-hole edge to block water ingress, improving fastening workability without a seal washer.
A deformable press-in connecting element uses contact and support surfaces to set a reproducible end position while avoiding damage to the holding component.
Support grooves constrain sheet-metal flow during embossing, keeping groove walls parallel and solder gaps constant for reliable bonding.
A friction-welded base part enables drill-free fastening on fiber composites, avoiding delamination while supporting automated assembly.
Asymmetric resin welding areas create a controlled weak point that protects the intake manifold by decoupling under collision loads.
A deformable press-in connector and surrounding contact surface create precise, repeatable fixation without complex positioning or damage.
Support grooves beside a functional groove constrain sheet-metal flow, keeping side walls parallel for consistent soldering or adhesive gaps.
A two-part friction-welded fastener secures CFRP attachments without drilling, preserving fiber integrity and enabling automated assembly.
Two-point prestressing in a cold-joined profile assembly creates a metallic seal that improves transverse strength without added sealants.
Two-point prestressing in an anchoring channel creates a metallic seal and stronger profile joints without added sealants.
Segmented bead design extracts oxide contaminants into embedded grooves, preventing material loss and preserving connection durability.
