Application of flow-drill technology for joining thin metal materials
Innovations, Vol. 9 (2021), Issue 3, pg(s) 108-111
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.
