[PSUBS-MAILIST] glueing aluminum

[Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles]

Lotus Cars famously have done that, introducing bonded aluminum chassis
with the Elise and continuing it on subsequent models. The reason is that
welding weakens the material, so if it were welded they would need to
increase the amount of material and it would eat up the weight savings.
Problem is, I don't know the specifics of the glue they use nor the
process.

Best,
Alec
