Abstract

The installation process for the dynamic cold extrusion of Al/Al interference-fit bolted joint applied by electromagnetic force was investigated by numerical simulation. The simulation results show that the deformation distribution of the bore wall at joint installed by the electromagnetic force is more uniform than that of the traditional installation technologies. And in the axial direction of bore wall without pin, the maximum stress region occurs at its outlet regardless of the values of interference-fit. Additionally found that the critical interference-fit value for a joint to reach yield strength is about 1 %, and when the amount of interference-fit is less than 1%, the joint mainly exhibits elastic deformation, and when the interference is more than 1 %, the plastic deformation is its main manifestation.
