  text: This study focuses on the phenomenological change in material strength caused
    by a specific heat treatment and the subsequent analysis of the influence on the
    clinching process and the resulting joint properties. For this purpose, three
    series of tests were performed. In the first series of tests, the influence of
    heat treatment up to 340 °C on the mechanical properties of an age-hardenable
    AlMgSi alloy was investigated. Holding time and temperature were varied and the
    material strength was evaluated by tensile and hardness tests. Two strength-increasing
    and two strength-reducing heat treatment parameters were identified. In the second
    series of tests, selected heat treatment parameters were applied to a larger number
    of specimens and the joint strength was investigated by shear and head tensile
    tests. In the shear tensile test, mainly the properties of the punch-side material
    have an influence on the resulting joint strength. A change in strength of the
    die-side material can be neglected. In contrast, the properties of both sheets
    are important in the head tensile test. The strength of the joint will only increase
    if the strength of both sheets is increased. In general, a strength increasing
    heat treatment resulted in higher joint strength. In the third series of tests,
    the factor of punch displacement was considered, which was demonstrated to directly
    influence the formation of the clinched joint geometry.
