Self-piercing riveting (SPR) is a cold mechanical joining process used to join two or more
sheets of materials by driving a rivet piercing through the top sheet or the top and middle …

Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) is a variation of linear Friction Stir Welding (FSW), which
was invented to compete with resistance spot welding (RSW) and riveting of lightweight …

Self-piercing riveting (SPR) is a method used for joining sheet materials by creating a
mechanical interlock between the sheets. SPR is of increasing interest in automobile …

Friction spot welding (FSpW) is a solid state welding process suitable for spot joining
lightweight low melting point materials like aluminium and magnesium alloys. The process is …

High strength steel and aluminium alloy sheets were joined by mechanical clinching with
dies for control of metal flow. Since the sheets undergo plastic deformation for the joining …

Self-piercing riveting (SPR) is a cold forming technique used to fasten together two or more
sheets of materials with a rivet without the need to predrill a hole. The application of SPR in …

High tensile strength steel sheets having different strengths were joined with an aluminium
alloy sheet by a self-piercing rivet. In the joining, a conventional rivet and die used for …

One of the advantages of friction stir welding (FSW) is reduced energy consumption as
compared to arc welding processes. This advantage has been predicted and qualitatively …

Aluminum recycling currently occurs in a cascading fashion, where some alloys, used in a
limited number of applications, absorb most of the end-of-life scrap. An expected increase in …

The DP590 steel to AA7075 Al-alloy with lap configuration is successfully joined by dual
beam laser welding-brazing without using filler metal. Through the introduction of the …
