A new sheet-metal joining process developed by Tox Pressotechnik reliably secures sheet metal components and prevents displacement in the planar direction.

New materials enable new applications for an old joining process.

Three new clinching technologies use heat to join fiber-reinforced composites to metal parts.

Localized heating can enhance the strength of clinch joints in high-strength steel.

A major advantage of clinching is that it will not damage anticorrosive coatings on sheet metal.

Threaded fasteners are the most common method of product assembly. The primary advantage of threaded fasteners is that they permit disassembly of the parts for repair or recycling.
