The manufacturing of modern lightweight structures and the implementation of multi material concepts, for example in automotive engineering, entails appropriate joining technologies. The absence of additional connection elements or filling materials as well as the possibility to join dissimilar metals are basic requirements in this field of application to reach the aspired weight reduction. In case of tubular joints the die-less hydroforming process meets these demands and thus makes it an interesting alternative to conventional welding and riveting processes. The present work focuses on form fit joints produced by die-less hydroforming. It provides a verification of a previously presented analytical approach that allows the calculation of the working fluid pressure required to bulge the tube material into the groove of the outer joining partner. For that purpose, the groove filling characteristics of joined specimens with different groove geometries are analyzed. Here both joining partners were made of the aluminum alloy EN AW-6060. Additionally the connection strength of the joined specimens are determined using tensile tests. The results prove that the groove angle is the main influencing factor on the connection strength and that it can be used for an ordinal comparison of different groove geometries.
