In the publication, the results of an experimental analysis of joint formation by pressing of DX51D steel sheets with thickness of 1.5 (mm) with the use of a rigid punch and an additional deformable rivet of various shapes were presented. The influence of the use of a steel rivet with a diameter d = 5 (mm), similar to the dimensions of the forming punch in the case of the classic clinching variety on the interlock parameters was investigated. The used die was with a four movable segments—dedicated to connections made in the clinch-riveting technology by TOX® PRESSOTECHNIK. In additional, experimental tests were made for joining sheets with a rivet of various shapes, i.e. with a through hole. Joints were formed and the correctness of the upper blockage in the lower sheet was observed on the joints cross-sections. The interlock parameters were measured for each joints samples. In order to compare the influence of using an additional rivet on interlock parameters and joints strength the traditional clinching joints were also made. The minimal thickness of the traditional clinching joint embossment for 2 sheets of 1.5 (mm) thickness for each was X = 0.75 (mm).

“…9 Another process, the mechanical clinching process is used to make a metal-polymer hybrid joint by applying forming force so that materials are plastically deformed and interlocked between materials. 10,[11][12][13] FSW was invented by Thomas et al 14 back in 1991. At that time, it was considered the only viable option for welding Aluminium alloys (mainly AA2xxx and AA7xxx series alloys) which are difficult to weld or were considered unweldable.…”

In this research work, a butt joint between acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) sheets was made using Friction stir welding (FSW). Polymers such as ABS have great potential to be used as body parts in automotive industries because of their high strength-to-weight ratio. In the aerospace industry, polymers are preferred over metals as they can retain their properties at low temperatures and their light weight reduces fuel consumption. The objective of this research work was to investigate mechanical properties and defect characterization in weldments. Maximum weld strength achieved was 19.4 MPa which is 61% of the base material at a rotational speed of 224 r/min, travel speed of 50 mm/min, external heating temperature of 45°C, and shoulder diameter of 16 mm. The images of macro and microstructure from an optical microscope and scanning electron microscope, respectively, showed that in FSW of ABS polymer defects were mainly formed on the retreating side of the weld nugget, unlike FSW of metals having it on the advancing side. Only two experiments out of L18 experiments showed tunneling defect, i.e., Experiment no. 8 and Experiment no. 10 and four experiments showed undercutting defect, i.e., Experiment no. 6, 9, 12, and 18. By performing the Vickers microhardness test it was observed that the hardest region formed in and around the weld nugget.

“…Bimetal composite ring is widely used in the petrochemical industry, automobile, ship, and equipment manufacturing because its outer layer has high strength and hardness and the inner layer has wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The composite methods of bimetal rings mainly include mechanical bonding, [1][2][3][4][5][6] centrifugal casting bonding, 7,8 hot rolling bonding, 9,10 and welding 11,12 The advantage of mechanical bonding is that the process is simple, but the bonding strength of the interface formed by mechanical bonding is low, which easily leads to delamination of the bonding layer during the service process, leading to failure. The advantage of centrifugal casting bonding is that the strength of the interface bonding is high, but the process of centrifugal casting is complex, and the casting process is easy to appear mixed flow at the interface, leading to unstable quality.…”

The hot deformation behavior of 40Cr/Q345B bimetal during hot compression bonding was studied using the isothermal compression method. A true stress–strain curve of the bimetal was obtained and modified to eliminate the effects of friction. The results show that the flow stress increases with decreasing deformation temperature and increasing strain rate. By analyzing the relationship of stress, deformation temperature, and strain rate, the constitutive equation of 40Cr/Q345B bimetal was obtained. The hot processing maps of 40Cr/Q345B bimetal under different strains are drawn. Through microstructure characterization, 40Cr/Q345B bimetal formed metallurgical bonding under the deformation process of this study. Combined with the hot processing map, microstructure, prior austenite grain, and microhardness distribution, it is proposed that the optimal deformation parameters of 40Cr/Q345B bimetal is 1050–1150°C and 0.02–0.4 s−1.
