EV Fastening Solutions

Electric Vehicles: Body in White 

In body in white (BiW) applications, structural stability and reliability are essential to guarantee passenger safety.

Fastening solutions for EV body in white architectures therefore need to be made of high-strength materials with high corrosion resistance and need to comply with high safety standards.

Ease of assembly and disassembly is also a key benefit for customers. Recommended fasteners for innovative BiW design include welding studs, self-piercing technology flow drill screws and structural blind rivets. Large-diameter clinching is also available.

These BiW fastening solutions offer customers a range of benefits for the manufacturing process, including fast one-sided assembly, structural strength, and suitability for high levels of automation.

Secure Fastening for Body-in-White to Enhance Safety, Automation, and Structural Integrity

Welding Studs

A silver metal rod and a copper-colored threaded bolt are placed on a white background.

Stud welding allows metal fasteners such as weld studs, weld pins and threaded studs, to be welded onto another metal object using an arc at lightning speed.

  • No holes required, hence no leaking or weakening of substrate material by drilling, punching, etc.
  • Wide range of use from Ø 2 mm up to Ø 25 mm
  • High level of automation possible
  • Access to parts only required from one side
