This paper presents the results of joining of 1,5 mm thick high-strength steel grades including DP600 and TRIP. Joints were manufactured using C-type clinching machine. The diameter of the tools used in joining process was selected according to the thickness of sheet metal plates. Shearing tests of manufactured joints were conducted with the use of universal testing machine. Bottom thickness of clinches amounted to: 0.6mm, 0.8mm and 1.0mm. Afterwards the joints were cut through in three different planes: two orthogonal and one intermediate. The influence of orientation of die opening plane on the value of the thickness of the neck and the width of the undercut was analyzed. Those parameters are directly responsible for joints shear and transverse tensile strength. The distinct influence of the orientation of die opening plane on the investigated parameters were presented.
