摘要
Clinching, which is a green joining process, has been widely used in the manufacturing industry as a method of joining lightweight sheets for automotive. The clinched joint is created by plastic deformation during the clinching process. It is suitable for joining the sheets of different properties and thicknesses. Simple tools, energy savings and low costs are the outstanding advantages of clinching technology. Recent research advances including tools and machines of hybrid clinching and modified clinching are reviewed in this paper from both tool and machine aspects. Novel methods of tool design and optimization are mentioned. The characteristics of clinching tools and machines are described. Some potential research areas for the clinching tools and machines are mentioned. In addition, it is suggested that future trends in clinching tools and machines are clinching tool simplification, and advanced clinching machines with faster forming speed, energy saving as well as more precise control.
