Riveting

RIVSET®

RIVSET® self-pierce riveting for the joining of several materials in just one step.

High-strength and reliable

Flexible multi-material design

No pre-drilling, no emissions, no noise. RIVSET® self‑pierce riveting is a joining method for creating high‑strength mechanical joints between similar and dissimilar materials. Even joining with more than two layers is possible.

Plus factors

Advantages of RIVSET®

Flexibility
Mixed, multilayer or hybrid joints are essential to modern lightweight construction. RIVSET® is ideal for a variety of material combinations – including high-strength steel.
Resilience
RIVSET® is highly resilient. Even when subject to changing loads.
Economic
No pre-drilling is necessary so positioning is easier.

Method and principle

Extremely strong joints in one step

There is no need for the material components to be pre-drilled or positioned exactly.
In one step, the semi-tubular rivet pierces the upper layer of the work piece and forms an undercut in the lower layer, forming the characteristic locking head. This process has a high level of reproducibility and can be easily automated.

Suitable for different types of materials

Suitable for various material thicknesses and strengths

Can be used for hybrid joints (in combination with adhesive)
RIVSET® HDZ self-pierce rivets
For joining high-strength steels (400‑600 MPa), extra-high-strength steels (800‑1,200 MPa) and ultra-high-strength steels (>1,500 MPa) with other types of materials such as aluminium.

Special features of RIVSET® HDZ self-pierce rivets

Wide range of applications with just one shape of rivet

Creation of hybrid connections

Implementation of two-layer or multi-layer connections
RIVSET® L rivet
By enabling multi-layer joints with high wall thicknesses, large-format aluminium die-cast structures and heterogeneous material combinations, the RIVSET® L rivet opens up new potential in lightweight design.

Special features of RIVSET® L rivet
Allows the joining of very thick multi-layer material combinations
Up to 4 material layers can be joined
Stack-ups of up to 10 mm in total thickness can be joined
Even mild steel components can be joined with multiple aluminium layers
Trend of giga casting and use of thick cast material layers can be handled
Closed bore hole prevents water storage; thus, less risk for corrosion
Joinable with existing RIVSET® processing systems
