The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of changing some riveting parameters on the riveting quality of a riveted aircraft structure. In this study, riveting was performed by applying friction under pressure.
During this friction riveting process, a feed of 3 mm/min was applied in the axial direction. Rotation speed values of 2,000, 2,200 and 2,400 rpm were selected. A 3-axis die milling machine was used to achieve the required positioning, pressing force and friction effect. 1.27 mm-thick Al 7075-T6 sheets and 2117-T3 forged rivets were used. The feed rate was applied at 1 mm/min in both tensile shear and cross-tensile tests.
The feasibility of friction riveting in 2117-T3 rivets was examined, it was shown that it could be done, and the most suitable rotation value for this process was determined.
Clamping force is one of the most important parameters for riveting quality. This study will contribute to a better understanding of the friction-forging riveting process along with the effects of riveting parameters. At the same time, it will lead to more research and expand the application of friction forging riveting to more structural connections.
