Friction self-piercing riveting (F-SPR) process has shown advantages over traditional self-piercing riveting (SPR) process in joining magnesium alloys and aluminum alloys. Frictional heat produced by the rotation of the rivet plays important roles to the inhibition of cracking in riveting low ductility materials and the formation of solid-state bonding. However, the current F-SPR process needs a matching die to facilitate rivet deformation and formation of mechanical interlock between lower sheet and the rivet, which poses a big challenge in riveting large thin-walled structures, where a matching die is hard to apply. In this research, single-sided F-SPR process was proposed to join 2.2 mm-thick aluminum alloy AA6061-T6 to 3.0 mm-thick aluminum alloy AA6061-T6, and effects of process parameters, e.g., rotation speed and feed rate, on the morphology and mechanical properties of the joints were studied experimentally. It was found that higher rotation speed and lower feed rate which signified higher heat input could effectively reduce defects but lead to insufficient undercut. As such, a two-stage process was proposed to reduce frictional heat generation in lower sheet and thus increase the deformation resistance acted at the rivet tip. A preliminary study showed that the two-stage F-SPR process increased the tensile-shear and cross-tension strengths by around 25% and 81% respectively, compared to the one-stage process.
