Latest developments on Coreflow for thermal management of aluminium structures

Overview: TWI has invented a highly disruptive, new sub-surface machining technique called ‘CoreFlow.’ The solid state process is a development of friction stir welding which allows for sub-surface networks to be integrated into structures.

The solid state process is a development of friction stir welding which allows for sub-surface networks to be integrated into structures. This revolutionary new technology already has potential uses in heat exchangers and cooling systems as well as for integrated fluid management and light-weighting. This exclusive webinar introduces the new technique as well as explaining how it can be beneficial to industries ranging from aerospace and automotive to IT, communication and beyond.

Speaker: João Gandra (Principle Project Leader, TWI Ltd).

Speaker Biography: João specialises in friction welding processes, including Friction Stir Welding. His current role is to support TWI Member companies seeking to adopt these technologies. He acts as a consultant during product development, prototyping and technology transfer. Most of his experience was gathered in the aerospace, rail and automotive sectors. Before joining TWI, João completed a PhD in Manufacturing and Industrial Management at the Technical University of Lisbon, where he also worked as an assistant lecturer. He has published over 20 peer-reviewed publications, actively participating in international standards committees like the ISO 25239 for Friction Stir Welding
