Clinching uses cold forming to produce two-layer or multilayer joints of metal sheets and/or profiles, similar to snap fasteners. By means of RIVCLINCH® joining technology, steel and stainless steel materials as well as aluminium and other non-ferrous materials are joined together in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly manner. Coated and pre-painted metal sheets can also be combined without damaging the surface.
Depending on the choice of RIVCLINCH® joining tools, round or square joining points are produced.
