In this work, an electromagnetic-mechanical-thermal coupling numerical model was proposed and electromagnetic riveting (EMR) experiments were performed using Phi 6 mm TA1 titanium alloy rivets. Experimental verification showed that the proposed model could be suitable for predicting the EMR process, and the corresponding relationships among magnetic pressures, deformations of rivet tails and discharge voltages were revealed. In addition, simulation results presented that most deformations occurred in the locally upsetting stage of rivet tail. The maximum temperature rise reached up to 426 degr...
