Abstract
In this paper, the effects of the interaction between punch diameter, die depth and punch speed on the quality of riveted joints are investigated using the BBD response surface test method. The results show that the mold depth has the greatest influence on the key dimensional parameters of riveted joints, followed by the punching speed, and then the punch diameter, while the punch diameter and the mold depth are the two factors with the most obvious interaction. The optimum riveted joint process parameters determined are punch diameter of 5.24 mm, die depth of 1.44 mm, and stamping speed of 5.00 mm/s. The corresponding relative errors predicted by numerical simulation and response surface optimization objective are 5.96 % for neck thickness, 3.29 % for interlocking value, and 1.37 % for bottom thickness; and the relative errors predicted by experimental results and optimization objective are 13.42 % for neck thickness, 13.42 % for interlocking value, and 1.37 % for bottom thickness. 13.42 %, interlock value is 4.23 %, and bottom thickness is 2.23 %, the model accuracy is high, and the optimization method of response surface test can effectively improve the quality of riveted joints. Through numerical simulation, the metal flow law and stress distribution during the riveting and forming process of aluminum alloy plate were analyzed, and the strength test of riveted joint was carried out, and the maximum destructive shear load of the joint was 1.8 KN, and the strength of the joint was improved, which verified the validity of the response surface optimization method.
