Abstract
Clinching as a mechanical joining technique allows a fast and reliable
joining of metal sheets in large-scale production. An efficient design
and dimensioning of clinched joints requires a holistic understanding of
the material, the joining process and the resulting properties of the
joint. In this paper, the process chain for clinching metal sheets is
described and experimental techniques are proposed to analyze the
process-microstructure-property relationships from the sheet metal to
the joined structure. At the example of clinching aluminum EN AW 6014,
characterization methods are applied and discussed for the following
characteristics: the mechanical properties of the sheet materials, the
tribological behavior in the joining system, the joining process and the
resulting material structure, the load-bearing behavior of the joint,
the damage and degradation as well as the service life and crack growth
behavior. The compilation of the characterization methods gives an
overview on the advantages and weaknesses of the methods and the
multiple interactions of material, process and properties during
clinching. In addition, the results of the analyses on EN AW 6014 can be
applied for parameterization and validation of simulations.
