Riveted Joints

This study investigates the quality of self-piercing riveted joints between vibration-damping aluminum (Al) and other dissimilar materials, namely aluminum alloy (AL5052-H32), steel alloy (GA590DP), and carbon-reinforced plastic (CFRP). The effects of die types (flat, cone, and nipple) on the geometrical characteristics and mechanical performance of the joints are studied using a cross-section examination and tensile shear load testing. The failure modes of each joint are also presented, showing the nature of the forces leading to the joint failures. The results indicate that, for all configurations, adequate joining between vibration-damping Al with AL5052-H32 is expected with a maximum shear load up to 3.28 kN. A shear load up to 3.6 kN was measured for the joints with GA590DP panels with acceptable top and bottom seal characteristics. A vibration-damping Al panel can only be positioned at the bottom when riveting with CFRP due to the brittle nature of CFRP. A tensile shear load up to 2.26 kN was found, which is the lowest amongst the materials tested in this study.

Welding Seam

Welding dissimilar materials has been widely applied in industries. Some of them are considered this as a strategy to develop their future technology products. Aluminum alloy and stainless steel have differences in physical, thermal, mechanical and metallurgic properties. However, selecting a suitable welding process and welding rods can solve this problem. This research aimed to investigate the T-joint welding between A6061 aluminum alloy and SUS304 stainless steel using new welding rods, Aluma-Steel by the Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding process. The mechanical properties, the characteristics of microstructure, and component analysis of the welds have been investigated by the mechanical testing, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). As a result, the fracture occurred at the adjacent area between welding seam and A6061 alloys plate. The thermal cracking appeared at central welding-seam along the base metals if high welding current. A large amount of copper elements found in the welds due to using the new welding rod, Aluma-Steel rod.

Through analyzing and testing the microstructure and property of ZL114A aluminum alloy castings under the condition of alternating electromagnetic field, the effects of the intensity of alternating electromagnetic field on the microstructure and property of ZL114A aluminum alloy castings are studied. The results showed the intensity of alternating electromagnetic field had a great influence on the microstructure and property of ZL114A aluminum alloy castings. With the increase of the intensity of alternating electromagnetic field, the grain size of ZL114A aluminum alloy was more and more small, under the 10A current intensity, the grain was the finest. Whereas, with the increase of the intensity of alternating electromagnetic field further, the grain is more and more big. Meanwhile, in a certain rang of current intensity, the mechanical performance of ZL114A aluminum alloy had been improved comprehensively, its tensile intensity was improved 10MPa and the elongation was increased by 30%.

In a test-fixture that the authors were using, steel tabs adhesively bonded to an aluminum panel debonded before the design load on the real test panel was fully applied. Therefore, studying behavior of adhesive joints for joining dissimilar materials was deemed to be necessary. To determine the failure load responsible for debonding of adhesive joints of two dissimilar materials, stress distributions in adhesive joints as obtained by a nonlinear finite element model of the test-fixture were studied under a gradually increasing compression-shear load. It was observed that in-plane stresses were responsible for the debonding of the steel tabs. To achieve a better understanding of adhesive joints of dissimilar materials, finite element models of adhesive lap joints and Asymmetric Double Cantilever Beam (ADCB) were studied, under loadings similar to the loading faced by the test-fixture. The analysis was performed using ABAQUS, a commercially available software, and the cohesive zone modeling was used to study the debonding growth.
