Abstract
Clinching is a mechanical cold forming method to join two or more overlapping sheets without using of rivet. This technology is already in use for production of aluminium and steel sheet car body panels. This process is carried out without heat effect on the material structure. Thus the clinching is one of the technologies which may replace traditional processes as resistance spot welding or frictional spot welding. The clinching technology has been well known many years ago, but only during last decade gets more increased interest especially in automotive industry. This paper presents the results of experimental research work in field of clinching of different (high and soft) strength steel sheets developed for automotive industry.
