| Abstract Scope |
Strong and reliable joining of AA 6061-T6 plates was achieved via HVR. By using a powder-actuated system, a metallurgical bond was created between the plates upon subsequent impact with the rivet. The lap shear strengths of HVR joints outperformed about 50% when compared to those of adhesively bonded plates.
In this work, a 3D finite element (FE) model was developed to gain a full understanding of the HVR process, such as heat generation, plastic deformation, and joint integrity. A lap shear simulation following the HVR modeling will be carried out to correlate HVR joint performance with the processing parameters. Once the FE model was validated against experimental observations, the effects of varying the rivet material, rivet shape, and die design on the HVR joint will be analyzed through a parametric study. This will guide the experiment with an appropriate selection of process parameters to achieve better HVR joint qualities. |
