Proceedings ArticleDOI
Comparison of Self-Pierce Riveting, Resistance Spot Welding and Spot Friction Joining for Aluminium Automotive Sheet
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared three aluminium sheet joining processes to determine their capability, efficiency and cost for mass production applications in automotive structures and closures, including RSW, SelfPierce Riveting, and Spot Friction Joining.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Effect of sheet material coatings on quality and strength of self-piercing riveted joints
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the effect of coatings on the quality and behaviour of self-piercing riveted joints joining aluminium NG5754 to HSLA350 sheets.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The Influence of Paint Bake Cycles on the Mechanical Properties of Spot Friction Joined Aluminium Alloys
Journal ArticleDOI
Advanced joining technologies for aluminium assembly for the automotive industry
TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of self-piercing riveting and laser-welding for thin-gauged aluminium alloys was investigated and the results suggested that all three joining technologies are feasible for joining aluminum and their mechanical behaviour is strongly dependent on the selection of process parameters.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
An Evaluation of NDT for Self-pierce Riveting
TL;DR: In this paper, an evaluation of non-destructive testing (NDT) technique based on ultrasonic inspection for selfpiercing riveted (SPR) joints was conducted.
