Abstract
In this paper, the mechanical properties of electromagnetic self-piercing riveted (E-SPR) joints with carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP)/aluminum alloy (Al) 5052 were comprehensively investigated. Microtopography observations, hardness measurements and tensile-shear strength tests were performed by comparing with regular pressure self-piercing riveted (P-SPR) joints. Results showed that the undercut value of E-SPR joints was higher than that of P-SPR joints. The hardness values on rivet legs of E-SPR joints were larger and almost no difference on rivet heads between the E-SPR and P-SPR. In addition, it was found that mechanical properties of E-SPR joints were higher than that of P-SPR joints. The shear fracture appearance indicated that E-SPR joints with higher undercut were more difficult to rupture in the bottom of Al sheet.
