Abstract
Scaling of a technology from a laboratory approach to a practical application has always been a critical challenge for research and development. The optimisation studies performed in Chapters 3, Chapter 4 and Chapter 6 were carried on laboratory-scale specimens, i.e., LS specimens of 25 mm in width. The transition to the joining of large-scale components requires special attention.
