Abstract
The present paper highlights the importance of generating a model for analysing the caulking process. The caulking operation is a fast, cost-efficient, cost-effective way of assembling, which is currently less studied in world-wide papers. The operation is at the border between plastic deformation and cutting process. It is therefore necessary to create a model to describe the process. In the paper are presented the main examples of applications, the main parameters that characterize the process, the current state of the cutting and plastic deformation models. After the analysis we concluded that the most valuable model for describing plastic deformations is the Johnson-Cook model. This information is the basis for developing a model for describing the caulking process.

A consequence of the evolution of today's industries is the emergence of competitiveness between companies, the need to invest more resources in the research of different fields
Products such as ABS braking systems and shock absorbers contain subassemblies that are obtained by the caulking process
The geometrical parameters of the cover and the body which are directly related to the caulking process are the following ones:
Summary
A consequence of the evolution of today's industries is the emergence of competitiveness between companies, the need to invest more resources in the research of different fields. Aeronautical, medical or energetic industries, there are needed reliable, quick and cost-effective assemblies. One of the most modern solutions is the caulking process, which, using a tool as used in the cutting operations (with edges having specific cutting angles) performs cutting and deformation of a material volume that will be pressed. The non-destructive assembly of the two components will be obtained, as it can be seen in the following picture (Fig 1)
