Tube-to-Sheet Joints of Dissimilar Materials Using Combined Plastic Deformation Process in Single Pass

“…Dissimilar materials with different strengths were joined by plastic deformation process, [5]. The process consists of two elementary tube forming operations that are carried out in a single stroke; expansion to produce two adjacent counters facing surfaces and compression beading to lock the tubes together, the opposite equipped axial dies were used to complete the connection.…”

Finite Element Analysis of Tube End Forming and Process Design

“…According to the relationship between the actual die radius and the critical die radius decided by the tube and the conical die angle, the deformation is classified into three modes. Alves et al [9][10][11][12] used end folding method to fix two thin plates without welding or structural adhesives. They proved that this technology can be applied to join a thin plate and a tube.…”
