2006-01-0774 Comparison of self-pierce riveting, resistance spot welding and spot friction joining for aluminium automotive sheet Paul Briskham, Nicholas Blundell, Li Han, Richard Hewitt and Ken Young International Automotive Research Centre, Warwick Manufacturing Group, University of Warwick, Coventry, UK Douglas Boomer Innoval Technology Ltd, Banbury, UK Copyright © 2006 SAE International ABSTRACT to dismantling. The environmental impact caused by driving a vehicle can be significantly reduced by This work compares three aluminium sheet joining improving the fuel efficiency [3] . One proven route to processes to determine their capability, efficiency and improved fuel economy is to lower the mass of the body cost for mass production applications in automotive structure by substituting steel sheet with aluminium structures and closures. The joining processes sheet. Prerequisites for achieving this in high-volume investigated are Resistance Spot Welding (RSW), Self- production are robust and cost-effective joining methods. Pierce Riveting (SPR) and Spot Friction Joining (SFJ). Quantitative comparisons have been made on the basis To en
