    REPLACING SPOT WELDS WITH RIVETS

    I am currently involved in baseline testing to evaluate static and fatigue strengths of aluminum joints with aluminum substrates of 0.020 to 0.050 thickness. We are comparing the 'knockdown' factors for resistance spot weld, diffuse laser weld, and friction stir weld methods for comparison with...
