Shave-joining process essentially consists of press shaving a bore wall within a main material by sharp edges of the harder projection on a dissimilar material to engage two or more elements. The method can be successfully applied for the lap joint of metal sheets. Sharp edges of steel screw threads (rivet) can easily shave the bore within lapped materials into the female screw to join between sheets of aluminum or mild steel. The process has many merits such as simple method, lower working load, reduced noise, one blow operation, no need of caulking and heading, cold or warm working, and freedom of material combination. Furthermore, the lap joint has excellent properties such as high and stable joining strength, air tightness, flat surface, and possibility of disassembly.
