An Experimental Study on Micro-Shear Clinching of Metal Foils by Laser Shock.

This work proposes a micro-shear clinching process by laser shock for joining similar and dissimilar metal foils. The joint appearance and cross-section were investigated to determine basic process parameters. The soft punch thickness was 100 μm.

An Experimental Study on Micro Clinching of Metal Foils with Cutting by Laser Shock Forming.

This paper describes a novel technique for joining similar and dissimilar metal foils, namely micro clinching with cutting by laser shock forming. A series of experiments were conducted to study the deformation behavior of single layer material, during which many important process parameters were determined. The process window of the 1060 pure aluminum foils and annealed copper foils produced by micro clinching with cutting was analyzed.
