Hybond

Hybond is a research and development company that has developed new, revolutionary methods for joining aluminum.

Since 2007, Hybond has developed Hybrid Metal Extrusion & Bonding, a cold welding process for joining aluminum. Conventional technology is unsuitable for welding aluminum. It leads to reduced material properties, resulting in increased material consumption and safety margins, thereby increasing both costs and weight.

Hybond technology is unique in several areas:

• Significantly increased material properties, with up to 100% residual strength, no porosity, no cracks, no distortion, and no residual stresses.
• Solution for challenges with aluminum, with the ability to weld different metals, e.g., aluminum to steel, welding of different aluminum alloys, and large-component production.
• Reduced investment costs through affordable equipment that can be mounted on existing machines.
• Reduced operational costs through flexible equipment that provides a fully automated and repeatable process with less pre- and post-processing.
• Improved HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) by eliminating the use of shielding gases or hazardous chemicals and preventing smoke from molten metal.
