This paper presents a hybrid joining technology where joining partners have been preassembled by means of pressure-sensitive adhesive and subsequently laser-beam welded on lap joint.

This simple and innovative hybrid technology promises a reduction of the production costs by minimizing the clamping complexity. Moreover when joining galvanized lap joint the gap witch is produced by the pressure-sensitive adhesive is used as a degassing gap.

Therefore this technology opens up new perspectives for a more widespread application of pressure-sensitive adhesives and of laser-beam welding for three-dimensional joining tasks.
