  abstract     = {{Climate change has led to a large number of countries deciding to reduce carbon dioxide (CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>) emissions significantly. As the mobility sector is a major contributor to CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>, various strategies are being pursued to achieve the climate targets set. An increasingly applied lightweight design method is the use of multi-material constructions. To join these structures, mechanical joining technologies such as self-pierce riveting are being used. As a result of the currently rigid tool systems, which cannot react to changing boundary conditions, a large number of rivet–die combinations is required to join the rising number of materials as well as material thickness combinations. Thus, new, versatile joining technologies are needed that can react to the described changes. The versatile self-piercing riveting (V-SPR) process is one possible approach. In this process, different material thicknesses can be joined by using a multi-range capable rivet which is set by a joining system with extended actuator technology. In this study, the V-SPR joining process is analysed numerically according to the influence of the geometrical rivet parameters on the joints characteristics as well as the resulting material flow. The investigations showed that the shank geometry has a decisive influence on the expansion of the rivet. Furthermore, the rivet length could be proven to be an influencing factor. By changing the head radii and the protrusion height, the forming behaviour of the rivet head onto the punch-sided joining part could be improved and thus the formation of air pockets was prevented. Based on the numerical investigations, a novel rivet geometry was developed and produced by machining. Subsequently, experimentally produced joints were analysed according to their joint formation and load-bearing capacity.}},

  abstract     = {{The increasing significance of ecological responsibility, stricter political regulations and economic objectives are driving innovation in research fields such as lightweight construction. One of the most important popular methods is the use of multi-material systems. Due to the different geometric and mechanical properties of the various materials used, resource efficient applications and utilizations are possible. Great challenges arise for the joining processes to realize these multi-material systems, since conventional joining processes reach their limits. In the field of mechanical joining processes, there are continuously new approaches, such as superimposing the punch in a self-piercing riveting process with a tumbling kinematic, to increase the number of adaptable process parameters and enhance the process control. Through various preliminary tests, a good understanding of the process has been developed, which allows to directly control the geometric joint parameters by configuring the tumbling strategy. A major challenge, particularly with regard to future industrial applications, is the process time, which is comparatively high due to the tumbling kinematics. In the investigations, a reduction of approximately 90% of the process time is targeted by adapting the joining and tumbling strategy. Therefore, the correlation of the traverse velocity and the tumbling velocity are examined in a gradual series of experiments. To represent realistic applications, the experiments are carried out with a dual-phase steel and a precipitation-hardening aluminum alloy. For identifying the influence of the process parameters on the joining process, a constant rivet–die combination is applied. Further, the examination of force–displacement curves is conducted. Moreover, the determination of geometric joint parameters is reliant upon macrographs to assess the influence of the joining time on the geometric joint formation. The test results show that a significant increase in joining speed with a resulting reduction in process time is feasible. Although the joining properties are affected, reliable joining is possible. In particular, the shaft thickness of the rivet is influenced by the varying proportion of the tumbling process in the joining operation and increases with higher joining speeds.}},

Consequently, a combined approach from the areas of design, material science, and manufacturing is mandatory, in order to meet the requirements. Reducing the number of parts, using lightweight materials and applying hybrid components with a multimaterial mix are possible solutions. Nevertheless, conventional joining operations like welding or riveting are reaching their limits in terms of material utilization, load-bearing capacity as well as versatility of the process. Thus, innovative and versatile joining by forming operations and process combinations are focus of current research. In this context, the innovative process of orbital forming had been investigated as a joining by forming operation to manufacture load-adapted hybrid functional components. By tilting of one tool component during the process, a radial material flow is generated, allowing the crimping of the two joining partners. Nevertheless, the load-bearing capacity in axial direction could be identified as limiting factor for a possible application. Therefore, the aim of this investigation is the development of a fundamental process understanding on the influence of a novel geometrical adaption of the joint on the resulting load bearing capacity. The influence of varying geometrical proportions of the joint on the quality is evaluated, considering the form filling, the geometrical properties of the components as well as the maximum transmittable axial load.

The rivet head is formed onto the respective thickness of the joint by an outer punch. In order to punch thru the upper sheet a great rivet hardness is required whereas a lower hardness is required for the subsequent forming of the rivet head. To achieve a combination of these requirements, this study investigates a local heat treatment of the rivet.

For online monitoring of self-piercing riveting, envelope curves are often used to define a tolerance zone for the measured setting force. However, the measurement uncertainty is typically not considered and the force curve of a joint can be wrongly rated as non-conform due to measurement errors and noise. In this article, we present a method for dynamical online filtering and uncertainty determination for noisy force curves using two types of Bayesian filters. The methodology is based on a Bayesian probability framework using a priori information for the process curve and sensor noise. To investigate the general feasibility of the method, force measurements with different noise levels are simulated and processed. The conformity is further assessed taking the uncertainty of the filtered signal into account. The results show that the Bayes filter technique is principally able to reduce noise for well-known characteristics of the process curve and sensor noise. Advantages over common filtering techniques, especially for experimental conditions with less known characteristics, are still to be verified. The methodology could be used in future for closed-loop controls to adapt process parameters dynamically. </jats:p>}},

For the reduction of moving masses and the resources consumed, lightweight construction technologies are part of modern production processes in vehicle manufacturing, for example in the form of multi-material systems. Challenging in the manufacture of multi-material systems especially in view of changing supply chains is the variety of materials and geometries that bring conventional joining processes to their limits. Therefore, new processes are required, which can react versatile to process and disturbance variables. A widely used industrial joining process is semi-tubular self-piercing riveting, which is however a rigid process. To increase the versatility, the two newly established processes multi-range self-piercing riveting and tumbling self-piercing riveting are combined and the capabilities for targeted material flow control are united. Therefore, an innovative two-stage process based on the combination is introduced in this paper. The rivet is set with the multi-range self-piercing riveting process with an overlap of the rivet head and then formed by a tumbling process. Further, a specific adaptation of the tumbling strategy is used to investigate the possibility of reducing cracks in the rivet head. Thereby, different tumbling strategies are used and similar geometric joint formations are achieved to compare the results. </jats:p>}},

tomography (XCT) has the ability to measure geometrical features and their corresponding dimensions without destroying them and can therefore be used for quality assurance. However, the concept of resolution is not trivial for XCT and has not yet been finally clarified. In particular, the interface structural resolution, the detectability of two surfaces facing each other after surface segmentation, faces a lack of a test specimen, a corresponding
measurand and a reliable method. Simulation-based XCT investigations of a method to determine this type of resolution are presented in this article using the geometry of a test specimen that contains several radially
arranged holes of the same size. The borehole diameters correspond to the distance between the holes to investigate the resolvability of surfaces and interfaces. The evaluation is based on mean and extreme values of grey value
profiles between the individual boreholes of the reconstructed volume. It is shown that the geometrical detectability of the test specimen surface and interface can be extended by a reasonable choice of the threshold value for
surface segmentation within a defined interval. With regard to the resolving capability, a distinction is made between assured detectability and possible detectability, as well as the threshold value used when using the ISO50
threshold for surface segmentation and measurement chain completion. }},

The mobility sector in particular is responsible for a large share of primary energy consumption and is increasingly in the focus of public interest. One possibility to adress these challenges is to reduce the vehicle weight by means of lightweight construction technologies such as multi-material systems. These assemblies consist of workpieces with different mechanical and geometrical properties, which poses a major challenge for joining technology. Mechanical joining processes such as semi-tubular self-piercing riveting are often used in the production of these assemblies, but due to their process characteristics, they are rigid and can only react to changing process variables to a limited extent. One way to increase the versatility of self-piercing riveting is to superimpose a tumbling kinematics on the punch. During tumbling, an angular offset of the punch axis to the tool axis is set and the contact area between punch and workpiece is reduced. In this work, investigations were carried out to determine how the tumbling strategy, consisting of the parameters tumbling angle, tumbling onset and tumbling kinematics, affects the material flow of the rivet element. For this purpose, experimental tests are conducted with the typical materials of conventional multi-material systems and the geometric joint formations are determined by means of macrographs. </jats:p>}},

High solidification rates can be realized in twin–roll casting (TRC) by water-cooled rolls. Therefore, a hypoeutectic EN AC–AlSi9 (for European Norm - aluminum cast product) is manufactured by the TRC process and analyzed. Subsequently, joining investigations are performed on castings in as-cast and heat-treated condition using the self-piercing riveting process considering the joint formation and the load-bearing capacity. Due to the fine microstructure, the crack initiation can be avoided during joining, while maintaining the joining parameters, especially by specimens in heat treatment conditions.

For this reason, multi-material-systems made of high-strength steel and aluminium as well as metal and fibre-reinforced plastics gain in importance. However, different material properties, e.g. stiffness, thermal expansion coefficients or chemical incompatibilities, are challenging for conventional joining technologies. Joining by cold formed pin structures has shown to have high potential for joining multi-material-systems. These pins can be joined either by direct pin pressing into an unperforated joining partner or by caulking, where the pins are inserted through a pre-punched joining partner and the pin head is upset, resulting in a form-fit joint. Usually, cylindrical pins are used for joining. However, non-rotationally symmetrical pin geometries offer the possibility of introducing a predetermined breaking point or reinforcing a connection in the principal force direction. In this work, cylindrical pins as well as non-rotationally symmetrical pin geometries, such as polygonal and oval pin structures, are cold extruded from the sheet metal plane of an HCT590X+Z dual phase steel and joined in the next step with an EN AW-6014 aluminium using direct pin pressing. Since the formation of an undercut has an crucial influence on the joint strength, the investigations will be focused on the resulting joint geometry. In addition, the effect of different pin heights will be examined to analyse the joint formation at different levels of compression of the pin structures. Finally, the joints are evaluated regarding their joint strength in tensile shear tests and cross tension tests. Here the flow resistance of the geometry used as well as the pin height and thus the strain hardening of the pin base during the extrusion of the pins play a decisive role for the shear strength.}},

Finally, the failure behavior of the single lap shear samples is investigated with the help of microscopic images and detailed photographs. In the single lap shear tests, it could be shown that non-rotational symmetric pin structures lead to an increase in maximum testing forces of up to 74% when compared to cylindrical pins. However, when normalized to the pin foot print related joint strength, only one polygonal pin variation showed increased joint strength in comparison to cylindrical pin structures. The investigation of the failure behavior showed two distinct failure modes. The first failure mode was failure of the CFRT component due to an exceedance of the maximum bearing strength of the pin-hole leading to significant damage in the CFRT component. The second failure mode was pin-deflection due to the applied testing load and a subsequent pin extraction from the CFRT component resulting in significantly less visible damage in the CFRT component. Generally, CFRT failure is more likely with a fiber orientation of 0° in relation to the load direction while pin extraction typically occurs with a fiber orientation of 90°. It is assumed that for future investigations, pin structures with an undercutting shape that creates an interlocking joint could counteract the tendency for pin-extraction and consequently lead to increased maximum joint strengths.}},
