Self-Pierce Riveting (SPR) Joining of Brittle Aluminium Castings and Mixed Material Designs

In this webinar we will discuss the following questions 

 “Is SPR still the best solution to overcome your challenges in joining aluminium castings?”

And

 “Are there any new SPR innovations that will ease the challenges associated with aluminium castings in the future?”

An emerging trend in Body in white (BIW) design is the use of more and larger aluminium castings, up to mega or gigacastings, which reduces the complexity of BIW production.

Some of the newly available aluminium castings are heat treatment free alloys which save cost, energy and time, but present a joining challenge due to reduced ductility, particularly when combined with high strength steels. Joining technology is the key technology that enables the use of such materials in BIW.

  • The first part of the presentation will cover the different alloys and the associated joining challenges.
  • The second part will show state of the art solutions for all the different alloys and conditions.
  • The third part will give you an outlook on innovations and finally answer the question “Is Tucker SPR still the best solution for your aluminium cast BIW?
