Abstract :
Aluminum and composite materials are the types of materials that are used to
construct structures on aircraft airframes. It is not uncommon for both types of
materials to be used together with the joining method. In the process of connecting
between two types of material in an aircraft structure, it is mostly carried out by
the riveting method. This process is carried out by making a hole in the two
materials according to the rivet diameter and then the hole diameter is then filled
with rivets and the riveting process is carried out. The process uses rivets so that it
will relatively increase the weight of the structure because there is additional rivet
material. In this study, using Aluminum 2024-T3 and Composite CFRP and the
objectives are to determine the mechanical strength of the joint between the
composite and aluminum sheet metal using the mechanical clinching and riveting
processes. The method used is an experimental method, namely by making test
specimens with composite and aluminum, solid rivet type fasteners and punches
with single lap joint treatment to determine the connection of the riveting, then the
drilling process is carried out with a hole diameter of 3.5 mm, for the clinching
method with variations in the diameter of the punch. 3.5mm, 4.0mm and 4.5mm.
Then do a drag test and test macro photos. From the tensile test on riveting, it was
found that the average result at the maximum load was 1059 Newton, the average
yield strength was 113 and the average tensile strength was 151.
From the tensile test in clinching, it was found that the average maximum load was
1884 Newtons, the average yield strength was 233 and the average tensile
strength was 344. From the results of tensile testing and macro photos, it
was found that the ability to withstand loads (load) on the specimen tested by
clinching was 825 Newton because the damage length (gap) value was obtained at
the connection boundary with the test material.
