  • Patent number: 11292085
    Abstract: A method for working a first component and a second component comprises the following steps: providing the first component, which comprises a thermally sprayed electrically conductive layer, providing the second component, which has a longitudinally extended strip of copper, which at least in a first region has a thickness transversely to the longitudinal direction of more than 0.1 millimeter, arranging the strip and the layer one on top of the other, so that the first region of the strip and the layer have a contact region in common with one another, emitting a laser beam onto the contact region and forming a welded connection, which connects the strip and the layer to one another.

  • Patent number: 10897794
    Abstract: An apparatus for a heating device for a vehicle comprises a layer stack which, in a stacking direction, has a heating conductor layer, an electrically conductive layer which forms a contact region, wherein a contour in a projection in the stacking direction of the electrically conductive layer is prespecified, in order to prevent a hotspot on the electrically conductive layer, by at least one of a prespecified width of a front side of the electrically conductive layer which faces a central region of the heating conductor layer, a prespecified distance from a joint of the heating conductor layer, and a prespecified curvature of the contour.
