Description

Improved panel clinching methods
The present invention relates to an a kind of rivet, drift and pretension head panel clinching methods of riveting together of two boards material at least that utilizes, term " riveted " is also referred to as " punching press connections " or " integral body is fastening ".
In auto industry, spot welding is the most frequently used technology that is used to connect body part, but owing to for example between parts, existing impurity or the relatively poor intensity of each solder joint that makes of welding penetrability can not guarantee that the designer just must increase the quantity of solder joint to guarantee enough bonding strengths.
For the parts that connect galvanized steel or aluminium, spot welding does not also develop into a kind of method accurately and reliably.
For galvanized steel, the welding effect has destroyed the zinc coating around the solder joint, and makes it be easy to corrosion.
Aluminium has very big potentiality because weight is light at automotive field, is a reason that limits its application but lack suitable spot welding method.
The method of an alternative spot welding is to use from wearing rivet, with being disclosed in United States Patent (USP) 4,615,475 (Fuhrmeister, international publication number: WO 84/04710) from the method and apparatus of wearing rivet fastening metal plate.
