Self Piercing Riveting : Properties Processes and Applications Due to its speed low energy requirements and the fact that it does not require a pre drilled hole the technique of self piercing riveting (SPR) has been increasingly adopted by many industries as a high speed mechanical fastening technique for the joining of sheet material components. Self piercing riveting comprehensively reviews the process equipment and corrosion behaviour of self piercing riveting and also describes the process of evaluation and modelling of strength of self piercing riveted joints quality control methods and non destructive testing.
