Mechanical press joining has been used in sheet metal joining processes because of its simple process and possibility of joining dissimilar metals, such as steel and aluminum. The strength of mechanical press joining varies with joining conditions. The optimum joining conditions considering tensile-shear and peel-tension strength have to be established to assure the reliability in the joining strength. Therefore, optimization of joining conditions has been investigated for improving joining strength of sheet metal. It is possible to obtain optimum strength from improvement on the joining strength of peel-tension mechanical press joint under multiaxial stress states.

The tensile and fatigue experiments were conducted with tensile-shear specimens for investigating the strength of adhesive bonded and mechanical press joints of SPCC steel sheet used in the field of the automobile industry. The optimal punch press force was evaluated 50kN for combining epoxy adhesive bonding and mechanical press joining with a diameter of 8.3mm using SPCC sheet with a thickness of 0.8mm. The combining epoxy adhesive bonding and mechanical press joining exhibits the maximum tensile force of 750N. The fatigue strengths of the combination of adhesive bond and mechanical press joint and pure adhesive joint were evaluated 370N and 320N at 106cycles, respectively. These values correspond to 22% and 20% of their maximum tensile forces, respectively. However, the fatigue strength of the combination of adhesive bond and mechanical press joining was much lower than that of pure mechanical press joining.

There are being a lot of studies for achievement of high speed Dehydration, high-strength and Lightweight of washing machine in the latest washing machine business. It is essential that Press-joining Strength of Spin Drum Seaming division is improved .to attain that target. Generally, we are using Mechanical press-joining by Seaming and T.I.G (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding among part joint method. Mechanical press-joining method that is mainly using for Stainless Steel (STS430) Drum have lots of merit that consumption of energy is low more than welding and production costs cut down and generation of the corrosion is solved by removing weld zone defect and materials having different properties are enable to join without special equipment. But, it is difficult to realize joint strength required at high speed operation because joint strength of mechanical press-joining method is low remarkably in comparison with welding. Also, there are a lot of analysis difficulties and very limited research is under way due to the dynamic factor such as multistage plastic working, elastic recovery, residual stress etc. The results of this study show optimal joining condition for mechanical press-joining by performing lots of tensile joining strength test with various specimen under multi-change of important design factor such as seaming width, bead area and bead depth etc.

The tensile and fatigue experiments were conducted with tensile-peel specimens for investigating on strength of adhesively bonded and mechanical press joints of aluminum sheet used in the field of the automobile industry. The combining epoxy adhesive bonding and mechanical press joining exhibits an increase in joining force as a result of interaction between static forces of the two joining methods. The fatigue strength of pure adhesive joint was measured as 91% of that of the combination of adhesive bond and mechanical press joint, suggesting that the interaction between the bonding and mechanical joining was about 9%.

본 논문은 중공을 가진 판재 두 매를 결합하기 위하여 중공 주위를 따라 기존 레이저 용접법 대신 기계적 프레스 결합법을 적용하는 것에 관한 연구이다. 이를 통해 레이저 용접을 적용했을 때 불가피하게 발생하는 열 변형을 효과적으로 없앨 수 있다. 유한요소해석을 통하여 중공형 판재를 기계적으로 결합시킬 수 있는 금형 설계 방법을 제안하였다. 기계적 결합력을 최대화시키는 데 관련 있는 다섯 가지 설계인자를 선택하여 다꾸치 실험법을 적용한 결과 성형 깊이와 펀치모서리 반경이 가장 크게 영향을 미치는 인자로 나타났다.

In this study, the mechanical joining process for double sheet metals was investigated by using physical modeling method. Process parameters of mechanical joining such as friction coefficient, drawing depth, pouch radius, die radius and material thickness are preliminarily analyzed by finite element method. Referring to the finite element analysis results mechanical joining system is designed on the basis of physical similarities. From the physical modeling test, the effect of process parameters on the deformation for the mechanical joining are experimentally investigated and optimized joining shape that can provide strong joining strength is obtained.

It is essential to understand the creep behavior, which shows how long the characteristics of material maintains because press joined molding GMT-Sheet for recycle is usually used in the severe environment. In this study, we predict joining strength of GMT-Sheet for recycle, when lap length was changed. and we will investigate how compression ratio have an effect on creep behavior in press joined molding. The result of experiment of forming condition concerned with joining problem of GMT-Sheet is as followings joining efficiency. of GMT-Sheet, increases as lap joint length I, increases. Increase of compression ratio causes decrease o f joining efficiency after of GMT-Sheet joining. As the result of creep test, GMT-Sheet is easily damaged in high temperature range, because it is sensitive to the temperature

Mechanical press joining technique has been used in sheet metal joining processes because of its simple process and possibility of joining dissimiliar metals, such as steel and aluminum. The static and cyclic behavior of single overlap AI-alloy and steel(SPCC) joints has been investigate. Relationships were developed to estimate the strength of the joint taking into consideration base metal strength properties and the geometry of the joint. Fatigue test results have shown that fatigue resistance of the SPCC mechanical press joints is almost equal to that of the spot weld at the life of $10^6$ cycles. Also, the dissimilar material jointed specimen with upper SPCC plate and button diameter corresponding to the nugget diameter of the spot welded specimen has almost same strength as the same material jointed specimen and as the spot welded specimen.

A mechanical press joining was investigated in ender for joining A1-5052 sheets for automobile body weight reduction. Static tensile and fatigue tests were conducted using tensile-shear specimens for evaluation of fatigue strength of the joint. During Tox joining process for A1-5052 plates, using the current sheet thickness and punch diameter, the optimal applied punching force was found to be 32 kN under the current joining condition. For the static tensile-shear experiment results, the fracture mode is classified into interface fracture mode, in which the neck area fractured due to influence of neck thickness, and pull-out fracture mode due to influence of plastic deformation of the joining area. And, during fatigue tests for the A1-5052 tensile shear specimens, interface failure mode occurred in the region of low cycle. The fatigue endurance limit approached to 6 percents of the maximum applied load, considering fatigue lifetime of $2.5\times10^6$ cycles.

New methods for joining sheet of metal are being sought. One of the most promising methods is MPJ (mechanical press joining). It has been used in thin metal work because of its simple process and relative advantages over other methods, as it requires no fasteners such as bolts or rivets, consumes less energy than welding, and produces less ecological problems than adhesive methods. In this study, the joining process and static behavior of single overlap joints has been investigated. During fixed die type joining process for SPCC plates, the optimal applied punching force was found. The maximum tensile-shear strength of the specimen produced at the optimal punching force was 1.75 kN. The FEM analysis result on the tensile-shear specimen showed the maximum von-Mises stress of 373 MPa under the applied load of 1.7 kN, which is very close to the maximum tensile strength of the SPCC sheet(= 382 MPa). This suggests that the FEM analysis is capable of predicting the maximum tensile load of the joint.
