Publication number: 20070226982Abstract: A process for connecting at least two workpieces forming a workpiece arrangement, by means of a joining element having at least one radial recess, the joining element being driven axially into the workpiece arrangement while the workpiece arrangement is supported in the axial direction by a hollow die, so that at least one workpiece trimming is forced into the die. A deformation force is exerted on at least one of the workpieces to press material of a workpiece into the radial recess, thereby to set up a positive locking connection between the joining element and a workpiece. The die has a holding structure to hold a workpiece trimming securely in place, so that the workpiece trimming remains in the die when the die and the workpiece arrangement are separated from one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2007Publication date: October 4, 2007Inventors: Christian Reiter, Ruben Gutierrez, Paul Bartig
