Application of flow-drill technology for joining thin metal materials

Abstract

The paper presents the results of testing the joints of unequal materials using flow-drill technology and a combination of flow-drill technology and adhesive bonding. The formed joints were tested by tensile and shear test according to ISO 12996. The positive effect of adhesive bonding on the load-bearing capacity of the joints and on the stress distribution in the tested materials was observed.
