Clinch Joint

RIVCLINCH® joint point geometry

The heart of our expertise stands in the clinching joint. 

Depending on the clinching tool selected, the resulting joint will be either round or rectangular.  

Round joint Sr (spot Round)
  • The SR round joint without cutting trough the material, is just a deformation.

  • This joint is water and gas tight. Consequently it protects the coating better and provides high corrosion and fatigue resistance.
Rectangular joint ST (Spot Rectangular)
  • The ST rectangular clinch joint is the product of a combined cutting and deforming process.

  • It is primarily suited to multi-layer (up to 5 and more), harder metals such as stainless steel and wider range of thicknesse

  • This joint is also aesthetically pleasing.
