Processing and Characterization of Al-Cu-Mg Alloy Rivets for Aerospace Applications

Abstract:

Al-Cu-Mg (Russian grade V65) alloys are used for riveting applications in aerospace industries due to their relatively high shear strength of the order of 25 kg/mm2 combined with a high plasticity. This paper presents the processing of V65 aluminium alloy rivets from wire rods. It was observed that wire rods which have not been intermittently annealed and having more than 25% cold working prior to heading operation, cracked on the free bulged surface of the head. In view of this, it is recommended that a maximum of 25% of cold work is allowed in the wire rods to be used for rivet fabrication to successfully realize defect free rivets.
