Electromagnetic　riveting　is　a　kind　of　energy　conversion　technology　and　forming　coil　is　the　key　component　of　energy　conversion.　Coil　parameters　include　the　turns　and　wire　cross　section　size.　The　effects　of　coil　parameters　on　discharge　current,　riveting　force,　rivet　deformation　degree　and　energy　conversion　rate　were　investigated　by　experimental　method　in　low　voltage　electromagnetic　riveting.　The　results　show　that　with　the　coil　turns　increasing,　coil　inductance　increases,　discharge　current　amplitude　decreases,　cycle　increases,　rivet　deformation　degree　increases　and　the　energy　conversion　rate　improves　when　the　coil　wire　cross　section　size　is　the　same.　And　with　the　coil　wire　width　increasing,　the　coil　resistance　decreases,　discharge　current　amplitude　increases,　rivet　deformation　degree　increases　and　the　energy　conversion　rate　improves　when　the　coil　turns　is　same.　By　rational　design　of　coil　turns　and　wire　section　size,　low　voltage　electromagnetic　riveting　is　an　effective　way　to　realize　deformation　of　strain　rate　sensitive　material　TA1　rivets.　©　(2013)　Trans　Tech　Publications,　Switzerland.
