Abstract

There are many reasons to utilize various grades of steel in car body production. Automotive producers tend to choose steels with great formability and the capacity to absorb impact energy. The dominant method used for joining car body sheets has for many years been resistance spot welding, but the use of various steel sheets leads to research into alternative joining methods. Mechanical joining - clinching, is the innovative method to join these materials. Numerical simulation tools are used to optimize the joining of materials. Simufact Forming software was used to analyse the clinching joining of three sheets of material DP600 and DC06. According to the axisymmetric character of the mechanical joining process, the simulation was stream-lined to a 2D representation. The results of the simulation of the mechanical joining process were compared with the real samples prepared for metallographic observation.
