Abstract
Self-Piercing Riveting (SPR) is a cold mechanical joining process used to join two or more sheets of materials by driving a semitubular rivet piercing through the top sheet or the top and middle sheets and subsequently lock into the bottom sheet under the guidance of a suitable die. SPR was originated half century ago, but it only had significant progress in the last 25 years due to the requirement of joining lightweight materials, such as aluminium alloy structures, aluminium-steel structures and other mixed material structures, from the automotive industry. Compared with other conventional joining methods, SPR has a lot of advantages including no predrilled holes required, no fume, no spark and low noise, no surface treatment required, ability to join multilayer materials and mixed materials, and ability to produce joint with high static and fatigue strengths etc. This publication reviews research investigations that have been conducted in the area of self-piercing riveting. The process is described and the effects of the process parameters are discussed. Mechanical properties including static strength, fatigue and crash behaviour are reviewed. Corrosion behaviour is also addressed, while reliable methods for accurate behaviour prediction, process monitoring and non-destructive testing have been identified as the main challenges.
