“…According to the clinching position and configuration of the joined sheets, there are two major clinched forms of the clinched joints produced by the mechanical clinching method, i.e. butt joint and the single-lap joint [35]. Figure 1 distinguishes between single-point butt clinched joint and single-lap joint in sheet configuration and the location of the clinched joint.…”

To explore the failure principle of single-point butt clinched joints, the AA5052 and AA6061 sheets were employed to produce the single-point butt clinched joints. The microscopic morphology of the fracture surface, geometrical parameters, static strength, energy absorption and failure details of the joints were analysed. The experimental results showed that fracture forms of sheet materials are the same as ductile fracture. The sheet combination has a significant influence on the mechanical properties of the single-point butt clinched joint, which is ultimately due to the different mechanical properties of the basal sheets. The single-point butt clinching process proposed in this work contributes to simplifying the clinching process while increasing the joining efficiency.

“…The distance between the parts of the clinch joint influences the interlock parameters and joint strength. For the single-strap butt joint, the distance between two joints has a negligible effect on the shearing effect [52]. For solid punch riveting technology, the influence of the number of joints on the deformation of sheet metal surfaces was presented in [23].…”

This paper presents the deformation of a joined sheet after the clinch riveting process. The DX51D steel sheet with zinc coating was used. The samples to be joined with clinch riveting technology had a thickness of 1 ± 0.05 mm and 1.5 ± 0.1 mm. The sheet deformation was measured before and after the joining process. The rivet was pressed in the sheets with the same dimension between the rivet axis and three sheet edges: 20, 30, and 40 mm. For fixed segments of the die, from the rivet side close to the rivet, the sheet deformation was greater than that of the area with movable segments. The movement of the die’s sliding element caused more sheet material to flow in the space between the fixed part of the die and movable segments. Hence, the sheet deformation in these places was smaller than for the die’s fixed element—the sheet material was less compressed. For sheet thickness values of 1.5 mm and a width value of 20 mm, the bulk of the sheet was observed. For a sheet width of 20 mm, it was observed that the deformation of the upper and lower sheets in the area of the rivet was greater than for sheet width values of 30 or 40 mm.
