Clinching of Thermoplastic Composites and Metals—A Comparison of Three Novel Joining Technologies

Clinching of Thermoplastic Composites and Metals—A Comparison of Three Novel Joining Technologies

Clinching continuous fibre reinforced thermoplastic composites and metals is challenging due to the low ductility of the composite material. Therefore, a number of novel clinching technologies has been developed specifically for these material combinations. A systematic overview of these advanced cl...
