The advantages of low heat joining techniques, such as low distortion and little influence
on the local material properties due to the low introduced amount of heat, shall be made usable for
the manufacture of high strength structures by increasing the process reliability. The dependency
between the parameters of the joining process, the seam geometry, the type of solder, the load type
und the fatigue life especially of soldered structure with local strengthening shall be examined to
allow a calculative estimation of the part’s life.
