  text: 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.
