  • Patent number: 7628573
    Abstract: A self-piercing rivet of a special rivet geometry is described, which in particular is suitable for joining high strength steel sheets, but can also be used for other metal sheets. The self-piercing rivet is in particular characterized by a special underhead geometry as well as a special geometry of the rivet foot (cutting region). Thus the self-piercing rivet has an underhead chamfer which with a radial plane of the self-piercing rivet encloses an angle of 20°+5°/?5° and merges tangentially into the cylindrical outer surface of the rivet shank via a radius. In the region of the rivet foot the self-piercing rivet has a plane shank face, which extends essentially at a right angle to the rivet axis and which merges “smoothly” into the cylindrical inner surface via a shank inner surface and a radius.

  • Publication number: 20060213954
    Abstract: A method for joining at least two workpieces in abutment to each other by a joining element. The joining element 6 is driven so as to perform rotational and translational movements in order to be moved through the upper workpiece 2 and into the lower workpiece 4 without full penetration of the lower workpiece in order to provide for an integral one-piece joint between the joining element and the lower workpiece due to friction as a result of said rotational and translational movements. The joining process will result further in a joint between the joining element and the upper workpiece which is mainly a positively interlocking and/or friction joint. The workpieces remain in engagement to each other and are being interconnected. The method enables to join workpieces 2, 4 not only of similar but also of different materials such as aluminium/steel or plastic material/metal. Generally it is sufficient that the joining area is accessible only from one side.
