Mazda Develops World's First Steel And Aluminium Joining Technology

Mazda Motor Corporation has developed the world's first direct spot joining technology to join steel and aluminium. This new technology was first employed in 2003 in the development of the Mazda RX-8 sports car that used friction heat to join separate aluminium sheets.

The technology has evolved, and will be used to join the boot lid and its hinges for the updated and improved Mazda MX-5 sports car that is scheduled to go on sale in the UK in late November.

Very cool technology.
It would be great to see it employed to build a very lightweight 4th gen rx7.
