Abstract

In today's market, ensuring competitiveness directly depends on changes and improvements in internal production processes. As a ‘better version’ of spot welding, the clinching process was developed. Since there is no specific 
translation in our terminology, the descriptive term ‘joining by pressure’ is  used. This paper presents the process and the results of experimental research on the influence of key factors in the process
