  text: "One of the major topics in the modern automotive industry is reducing emissions
    and increasing the mileage\r\nrange. To tackle this challenge, on the one hand,
    modifying the powertrain system is a possibility, and on the\r\nother hand, lightweight
    design offers various possibilities. Multi-Material Design (MMD) involves designing
    car\r\nbodies that combine different materials that require joining. Given the
    variety of materials, mechanical joining\r\nprocesses are preferred. Especially
    the current development of the Giga/Mega-casting process concerning\r\naluminium
    casting and the subsequent mechanical joining illustrates the challenges of this
    material group. In car\r\nproduction, aluminium castings are mainly made from
    aluminium-silicon (AlSi) alloys. Ultimately, the alloy\r\nsystem's insufficient
    ductility leads to crack initiation during mechanical joining. Cast parts are
    therefore often\r\nused in areas of the car body that are exposed to high-pressure
    loads. For example, self-piercing riveting (SPR) is\r\nused due to its high load-bearing
    capacity. In this study, improved joinability is demonstrated by influencing the\r\nmicrostructure
    through tailored solidification rates and a developed heat-treatment chain strategy
    adapted for\r\nhypoeutectic AlSi systems. Data on microstructure, mechanical,
    and joining properties are used to develop a\r\nsolidification-joining correlation
    for the SPR process across a range of Si contents and solidification rates. The\r\npurpose
    is to develop the ability to produce suitable aluminium castings with sufficient
    joinability, thereby\r\nimproving versatility."

  text: The use of continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (FRTP) in automotive
    industry increases due to their excellent material properties and possibility
    of rapid processing. The scale spanning heterogeneity of their material structure
    and its influence on the material behavior, however, presents significant challenges
    for most joining technologies, such as self-piercing riveting (SPR). During mechanical
    joining, the material structure is significantly altered within and around the
    joining zone, heavily influencing the material behavior. A comprehensive understanding
    of the underlying phenomena of material alteration during the SPR process is essential
    as basis for validating numerical simulations. This study examines the material
    structure at ten stages of a step-setting test of SPR with two FRTP sheets with
    glass-fiber reinforcement. Utilizing X-ray computed tomography (CT), the damage
    phenomena within different areas of the setting test are analyzed three-dimensionally
    and key parameters are quantified. Dominating phenomena during the penetration
    of the rivet into the laminate are fiber failure (FF), interfiber failure (IFF)
    and fiber bending, while delamination, fiber kinking and roving splitting are
    also observed. At the final stages, the bottom layers of the second sheet collapse
    and form a bulge into the cavity of the die.

  text: "One of the most important strategies for reducing CO2 emissions in the mobility
    sector is lightweight construction. In particular, the car body offers several
    opportunities for weight reduction. Multi-material designs are increasingly being
    applied to select the most suitable material for the respective load and ultimately
    achieve synergy effects. For example, aluminium castings are used at the nodes
    of a spaceframe body. Subsequently, these are joined with profiles to form the
    bodyshell. To join different materials mechanical joining techniques, such as
    semi-tubular self-piercing riveting, are deployed. According to the current state
    of the art, cracks occur in the aluminium castings during the mechanical joining
    process as a result of the high degree of deformation. Although the aluminium
    casting alloys of the AlSi-system exhibit low ductility, these alloys reveal excellent
    castability. In particular, the ability to cast thin structural parts is enabled
    by the low liquidus point of the near eutectic aluminium casting alloys.\r\nThis
    study addresses the mechanical joining properties of the near eutectic aluminium
    casting alloy AlSi12, depending on different microstructures. These are achieved
    by annealing processes and modifying agents. Through an adapted heat treatment,
    the previously lamellar morphology can be transformed into a globular morphology,
    which leads to increased ductility and prevents the formation of cracks during
    the self-piercing riveting (SPR). The joinability is investigated using different
    die geometries, whereas the joint formation is analysed regarding crack initiation.
    To evaluate the increased ductility, microstructural and mechanical tests are
    performed and finally, a microstructure-joinability correlation is established."

  text: The constantly increasing demand for climate protection and resource conservation
    requires innovative and versatile joining processes that improve adaptability
    to the joining task and robustness to enable flexible manufacturing on a production
    line. Therefore, the versatile SPR (V-SPR) and tumbling SPR (T-SPR) were developed.
    Using the example of a mixed material combination HCT590X+Z (t0 = 1.0 mm) / EN
    AW-6014 T4 (t0 = 2.0 mm), these processes were examined and compared with regard
    to the binding mechanisms form closure and force closure using micrographs, non-destructive
    resistance measurements and destructive torsion tests. For this purpose, a new
    sample geometry was defined, and the methods were adapted to the SPR process variants.</jats:p>

  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.

  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: The aim to reduce pollutant emission has led to a trend towards lightweight
    construction in car body development during the last years. As a consequence of
    the resulting need for multi-material design, mechanical joining technologies
    become increasingly important. Mechanical joining allows for the combination of
    dissimilar materials, while thermic joining techniques reach their limits. Self-piercing
    riveting enables the joining of dissimilar materials by using semi-tubular rivets
    as mechanical fasteners. The rivet production, however, is costly and time-consuming,
    as the rivets generally have to be hardened, tempered and coated after forming,
    in order to achieve an adequate strength and corrosion resistance. A promising
    approach to improve the efficiency of the rivet manufacturing is the use of high-strength
    high nitrogen steel as rivet material because these additional process steps would
    not be necessary anymore. As a result of the comparatively high nitrogen content,
    such steels have various beneficial properties like higher strength, good ductility
    and improved corrosion resistance. By cold bulk forming of high nitrogen steels
    high-strength parts can be manufactured due to the strengthening which is caused
    by the high strain hardening. However, high tool loads thereby have to be expected
    and are a major challenge during the production process. Consequently, there is
    a need for appropriate forming strategies. This paper presents key aspects concerning
    the process design for the manufacturing of semi-tubular self-piercing rivets
    made of high-strength steel. The aim is to produce the rivets in several forming
    stages without intermediate heat treatment between the single stages. Due to the
    high strain hardening of the material, a two stage forming concept will be investigated.
    Cup-backward extrusion is chosen as the first process step in order to form the
    rivet shank without forming the rivet foot. Thus, the strain hardening effects
    in the area of the rivet foot are minimized and the tool loads during the following
    process step can be reduced. During the second and final forming stage the detailed
    geometry of the rivet foot and the rivet head is formed. In this context, the
    effect of different variations, for example concerning the final geometry of the
    rivet foot, on the tool load is investigated using multistage numerical analysis.
    Furthermore, the influence of the process temperature on occurring stresses is
    analysed. Based on the results of the investigations, an adequate forming strategy
    and a tool concept for the manufacturing of semi-tubular self-piercing rivets
    made of high-strength steel are presented.

  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.

  text: Due to the trend towards lightweight design in car body development mechanical
    joining technologies become increasingly important. These techniques allow for
    the joining of dissimilar materials and thus enable multi-material design, while
    thermic joining methods reach their limits. Semi-tubular self-piercing riveting
    is an important mechanical joining technology. The rivet production, however,
    is costly and time-consuming, as the process consists of several process steps
    including the heat treatment and coating of the rivets in order to achieve an
    adequate strength and corrosion resistance. The use of high nitrogen steel as
    rivet material leads to the possibility of reducing process steps and hence increasing
    the efficiency of the process. However, the high tool loads being expected due
    to the high strain hardening of the material are a major challenge during the
    rivet production. Thus, there is a need for appropriate forming strategies, such
    as the manufacturing of the rivets at elevated temperatures. Prior investigations
    led to the conclusion that forming already at 200 °C results in a distinct reduction
    of the yield strength. To create a deeper understanding of the forming behaviour
    of high nitrogen steel at elevated temperatures, compression tests were conducted
    in a temperature range between room temperature and 200 °C. The determined true
    stress – true strain curves are the basis for the further process and tool design
    of the rivet production. Another key factor for the rivet manufacturing at elevated
    temperatures is the influence of the process temperature on the tribological conditions.
    For this reason, ring compression tests at room temperature and 200 °C are carried
    out. The friction factors are determined on the basis of calibration curves resulting
    from the numerical analysis of the ring compression process. The investigations
    indicate that the friction factor at 200 °C is significantly higher compared to
    room temperature. This essential fact has to be taken into account for the process
    and tool design for the rivet production using high nitrogen steel.
