Self-Piercing Riveted Joint of Vibration-Damping Steel and Aluminum Alloy
Source abstract
Abstract
In this study, the self-piercing rivet (SPR) joining of vibration-damping steel and aluminum alloy (Al5052-H32) is successfully carried out, for the first time to our knowledge, and the effects of die type and joint configuration on the mechanical performance, failure mode, and geometrical characteristics of the new joint are investigated. The vibration-damping steel and Al5052-H32 SPR joint exhibits the largest tensile–shear load when a flat die is used. An increase in the die taper angle and diameter decreases the mechanical performance of the joint due to the increase in volume of the die, leading to a smaller interlock width of the joint. The joint configuration with Al5052-H32 as a top sheet has superior mechanical performance compared with the reverse configuration, owing to the increase of the interlock width. All SPR joints of vibration-damping steel and Al5052-H32 show consistent rivet pull-out failure, regardless of the joint configuration, because of relatively small interlock width. It is also found that these SPR joints show better mechanical performance than those of SPFC590DP (a skin material of the vibration-damping steel) and Al5052-H32 under the Al5052-H32–top configuration.
