Abstract
The focus of this study is to improve the clinching ability of an aluminum die casting alloy with a sheet metal by local annealing in order to clinch them in a process-safe manner. For this purpose, the influence of three different heating strategies (heating plate, resistance heating and inductive heating) on the generation of clinching joints are investigated. Furthermore, the strategies are compared with regard to process time, joining point formation and bonding strength. Finally, the different heating strategies were evaluated and the most promising process parameters were identified.
