RSR Multi-Material Joining

RSR® is a patented single-step multi-material joining technology that provides manufacturers the ability to join a variety of material combinations, including aluminum castings and ultra-high strength steels.

Resistance Spot Riveting

CenterLine and Howmet Aerospace have partnered to develop the RSR® technology along with the Rivet Delivery System (RDS) to enable multi-material joining with widely used standard spot-welding equipment.
