Indiana Company gets a cool million to develop NASA welding process...

According to Fort Wayne.com, Delphi Corporation will receive a grant of $1 million to develop, as the paper reports, "an advanced welding process for use in spacecraft and terrestrial vehicles."

The process, called deformation resistance welding, allows different materials and shapes to be welded together at a lower cost than traditional welding methods. It can be used to manufacture heavy load-bearing structures, mobile medical products and automobiles because of its ability to handle tube-to-tube and tube-to-sheet welding.

Interesting stuff indeed.
