text: Self-piercing riveting is an established technique for joining multi-material
structures in car body manufacturing. Rivets for self-piercing riveting differ
in their geometry, the material used, the condition of the material and their
surface condition. To shorten the manufacturing process by omitting the heat treatment
and the coating process, the authors have elaborated a concept for the use of
stainless steel with high strain hardening as a rivet material. The focus of the
present investigation is on the evaluation of the influences of the rivet’s geometry
and material on its deformation behaviour. Conventional rivets of types P and
HD2, a rivet with an improved geometry made of treatable steel 38B2, and rivets
made of the stainless steels 1.3815 and 1.4541 are examined. The analysis is conducted
by means of multi-step joining tests for two material combinations comprising
high-strength steel HCT70X and aluminium EN AW-5083. The joints are cut to provide
a cross-section and the deformation behaviour of the different rivets is analysed
on the basis of the measured changes in geometry and hardness. In parallel, an
examination of the force-stroke curves provides further insights. It can be demonstrated
that, besides the geometry, the material strength, in particular, has a significant
influence on the deformation behaviour of the rivet. The strength of steel 1.4541
is seen to be too low for the joining task, while the strength of steel 1.3815
is sufficient, and hence the investigation confirms the capability of rivets made
of 1.3815 for joining even challenging material combinations.
