[QUOTE="GTSpartan, post: 15314394, member: 21531"] This is way past riveting and bonding. The multi ringed electrode and friction stir methods being used are pretty trick, [I]if[/I] they can get it to work on a large scale. Huge manufacturing advantages are at stake. The aerospace industry would be very interested in this tech. Ford/Alcoa aren't doing anything revolutionary. To their credit though, they achieved scale that no one has to date, and are definitely the early adopters. BTW - Alcoa isn't under exclusive contract with Ford for Aluminum. GM already has partnerships with them an Novelis. This discussion should really be about the advancements in material science, the excitement around it, and how it will change our world. [/QUOTE]
