In view of the problems of large diameter and difficulttoshape alloy rivets,such as deformation,cracking and insufficient interference,etc.,rivets were firstly preheated and then riveted.Finite element analysis software was used to establish the finite element model of 7075 aluminum alloy,in order to simulate the deformation and stress of rivets at different temperatures and different riveting rates.The results show that with the increase of heatassisted riveting temperature,the reduction of riveting force tends to increase firstly and then decrease,and the smaller riveting force can reduce the risk of nail cracking.The suitable riveting rate can also improve the riveting quality of heatassisted riveting,and improve fatigue life.This heatassisted riveting technology for the future riveting technology of rivet has a certain reference value.
