text: 'The use of high-strength steel and aluminium is rising due to the intensified
efforts being made in lightweight design, and self-piercing riveting is becoming
increasingly important. Conventional rivets for self-piercing riveting differ
in their geometry, the material used, the condition of the material and the coating.
To shorten the manufacturing process, the use of stainless steel with high strain
hardening as the rivet material represents a promising approach. This allows the
coating of the rivets to be omitted due to the corrosion resistance of the material
and, since the strength of the stainless steel is achieved by cold forming, heat
treatment is no longer required. In addition, it is possible to adjust the local
strength within the rivet. Because of that, the authors have elaborated a concept
for using high nitrogen steel 1.3815 as the rivet material. The present investigation
focusses on the joint strength in order to evaluate the capability of rivets in
high nitrogen steel by comparison to conventional rivets made of treatable steel.
Due to certain challenges in the forming process of the high nitrogen steel rivets,
deviations result from the targeted rivet geometry. Mainly these deviations cause
a lower joint strength with these rivets, which is, however, adequate. All in
all, the capability of the new rivet is proven by the results of this investigation. '

text: As a result of lightweight design, increased use is being made of high-strength
steel and aluminium in car bodies. Self-piercing riveting is an established technique
for joining these materials. The dissimilar properties of the two materials have
led to a number of different rivet geometries in the past. Each rivet geometry
fulfils the requirements of the materials within a limited range. In the present
investigation, an improved rivet geometry is developed, which permits the reliable
joining of two material combinations that could only be joined by two different
rivet geometries up until now. Material combination 1 consists of high-strength
steel on both sides, while material combination 2 comprises aluminium on the punch
side and high-strength steel on the die side. The material flow and the stress
and strain conditions prevailing during the joining process are analysed by means
of numerical simulation. The rivet geometry is then improved step-by-step on the
basis of this analysis. Finally, the improved rivet geometry is manufactured and
the findings of the investigation are verified in experimental joining tests.
