Self-pierce riveting of three thin sheets of 980 MPa steel and 5052 aluminum alloy was performed to investigate the effect of sheet configuration on the deforming behaviors of the sheets and the rivet and joint strength. When the lower sheet was aluminum alloy, the joining range was relatively wide, i.e., the interlock hooking the rivet leg tended to be large. In the sheet configuration in which the upper and lower sheets were A5052 and the middle sheet was 980 MPa steel, the rivet leg spread out moderately and the joint without defects was obtained. In the lower 980 MPa steel sheet, fracture tended to occur due to the low ductility of the lower sheet, and the joining range was narrow with the small interlock although the three sheets were joined by an appropriate die shape. In joint strength of joined three sheets, fracture occurred in the lower-strength aluminum alloy sheet if interlocks of about 300 μm and 150 μm could be formed in the lower aluminum alloy sheet and 980 MPa steel sheet, respectively.
