Rotation friction pressing riveting of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet Duan Hongyan, Han Gaokun, Wang Mingxing , Zhang Xinglu, Liu Zhongxia, Liu Zhiyong Department of Physics and Laboratory of Materials Physics of the Ministry of Education of China, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou 450052, People’s Republic of China Abstract: A kind of joining method for magnesium alloys, rotation friction pressing riveting (RFPR), is proposed in this paper. In RFPR operation, a rivet with a plug rotating at high speed is brought to contact with the riveted sheets, generating frictional heat between the rivet and riveted sheets, which softens the sheet materials and enables the rivet to be drilled into the sheets under reduced
