Abstract To increase the usage of high-strength steel and aluminium alloy sheets for lightweight automobile body panels, joinability sheet combinations including a 780-MPa an A5052 by mechanical clinching self-pierce riveting was investigated different tool shapes in experiment. All except two riveting, i.e., sheets, steel-aluminium were successfully joined both joining methods without gaps amo...

In order to achieve a high-quality joining of aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) dissimilar metals, new friction stir double-riveting welding (FSDRW) with Cu rod as the rivet was proposed, rotating tool large concave angle shoulder specially designed. The results showed that under thermal–mechanical effect tool, deformed be double riveting heads structure anchor at upper surface Al plate an above la...

When carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) and steel are joined using blind riveting bolting, fastener inclination occurs due to the clearance between hole. To this end, study investigated unavoidable occurrence of when joining metal composite materials mechanical fastening. The effect on lap shear strength (LSS) was quantitatively under various conditions. In riveting, breakage occurred mainl...

The present work deals with the transferability of Friction Riveting joining technology from laboratory equipment to adapted in-house, low-cost machinery. A G13 drilling machine was modified for requirements selected technique, and joints were performed using polyethermide plates AA2024 aluminum alloy rivets 6 mm diameter. This diameter not previously reported Riveting. produced mechanically te...
