CA 2259357

A method of self-piercing riveting comprising inserting a self-piercing rivet (15) into a workpiece consisting of at least two layers (10, 11) of overlapping material such that the end of the rivet is deformed during the riveting process and remains encased in the material furthest from the point of impact of the rivet (15), characterised in that during at least part of the riveting process the sides of the rivet (15) are constrained against radially outward deformation in the region where the rivet enters the workpiece.

Procédé de rivetage avec perçage simultané consistant à insérer un rivet à perçage simultané (15) dans une pièce constitué par au moins deux couches (10, 11) de matériau posées l'une sur l'autre, de telle sorte que l'extrémité du rivet est déformée pendant l'opération de rivetage et reste encastrée dans le matériau le plus loin possible du point d'impact du rivet (15). Ce procédé est caractérisé par le fait que, pendant au moins une partie de l'opération de rivetage, les côtés du rivet (15) subissent une contrainte les empêchant de se déformer radialement vers l'extérieur dans la zone dans laquelle le rivet pénètre dans la pièce.
