Clinching joints with an additional deformable rivet are modifications of the clinching joints. The clinch riveting (CR) joint is formed indirectly by a deformable rivet. The research included an analysis of CR joints’ forming process for aluminum alloy sheets made of AW 6082 in T6 state condition and AW 5754 in three different state conditions: H11, H22 and H24. As a result of forming the joint for various sheet arrangements, the highest value of blocking the upper sheet in the lower sheet (tu) was obtained for the arrangements with two 5754-H24 aluminum alloy sheets. For such a large interlock parameter tu, the greatest thinning of lower sheet (tn) was obtained, which influenced the maximum tensile shear force and the joint failure mechanism. Based on the load-displacement diagrams obtained from the static shear test of lap joints, the total energy of failure and energy to achieve the maximum load capacity were calculated. The highest energy absorption to achieve the maximum load capacity, in the case of the same sheet materials, was obtained for the 5754-H11 aluminum alloy sheets. On the other hand, among the tested combinations, the highest value of energy absorption (for the joint maximum load capacity) was obtained for the sheet arrangement: top sheet AW 6082-T6 and the bottom AW 5754-H24. The highest value of the total energy up to fracture was obtained when the material of the top sheet was AW 6082-T6, and the bottom AW 5754-H22. For each sheet arrangement, a similar analysis of the joint strength parameters, interlock parameters and forming force were made.
In the publication, the results of an experimental analysis of joint formation by pressing of DX51D steel sheets with thickness of 1.5 (mm) with the use of a rigid punch and an additional deformable rivet of various shapes were presented. The influence of the use of a steel rivet with a diameter d = 5 (mm), similar to the dimensions of the forming punch in the case of the classic clinching variety on the interlock parameters was investigated. The used die was with a four movable segments—dedicated to connections made in the clinch-riveting technology by TOX® PRESSOTECHNIK. In additional, experimental tests were made for joining sheets with a rivet of various shapes, i.e. with a through hole. Joints were formed and the correctness of the upper blockage in the lower sheet was observed on the joints cross-sections. The interlock parameters were measured for each joints samples. In order to compare the influence of using an additional rivet on interlock parameters and joints strength the traditional clinching joints were also made. The minimal thickness of the traditional clinching joint embossment for 2 sheets of 1.5 (mm) thickness for each was X = 0.75 (mm).
The clinching joining technology is one of the most popular joining technologies by redrawing sheet material. The joining process parameters, the sheet material and its arrangements influences joints' strength. Cylindrical axial-symmetrical joints formed by using rigid die and punch are still developed. The change of the rigid die on the die with movable segments affect the forming process and joint strength parameters. So there is a need to do experimental researches of the possibilities of joint formation by unchanged punch geometry and different die shape. In this article the forming process parameters (forming force, process energy consumption and its standard deviations) and joints strength parameters (maximum shearing force, total dissipated energy and dissipated energy up to 0.3 maximum force), according to the ISO 12996 standard, for the joints formed with using die with 2, 3 and 4 movable segments were presented. The punch geometry was unchanged and the minimum thickness of the embossment was also unchanged. For the die with 2 and 4 segments the load force direction influence on the joints strength was also presented.
The application of X-ray micro-diffraction to study the local changes in austenite content in clinching joints made of DP 600 steel is presented. The relations between various parameters of the cold pressing process and the microstructure and the austenite content in the individual parts of the clinching joints are shown.

Selection of the optimal materials for construction of thin-walled structures is currently in a transient phase. The elements, which previously have been manufactured from steel, are now increasingly made of fiber-reinforced plastic and alloy of light metals, such as aluminum and magnesium. The new materials generate the need for the development of appropriate joining technologies. The use of the new material types forced the use of alternative joining technologies, in comparison to traditional connecting techniques. This implies the need for experimental studies related to the evaluation of the formation and strength of new joints. New solutions are not always good enough to provide an adequate strength. In some cases, formation for new materials' joints is quite problematic. Hence, the classic riveting technologies with the blind rivet or with the blind hermetic rivet are still widely applied and will probably continue to be used in the future. In the industry of public utility buildings and residential houses, these joints are the most widely used because of their high degree of certainty. Thin profiles are joined by means of various fasteners, usually by blind rivets [1][2][3][4] or, in case of composite structures, either by screws [5][6][7] or by special tubular rivets [8][9][10][11]. The self-piercing riveting technology is also commonly used [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. There are few variations in the technology of their formation. One of them is a solid self-piercing riveting (SSPR) technology proposed by Kerb-Konus-Vertriebs-GmbH company [19]. During the formation of clinching, self-piercing riveting or
