Abstract: The invention relates to a stator (10) for an electric machine comprising a stator package (12); a stator winding, which comprises a plurality of rod-shaped conductors (16a, 16b), which are inserted through the stator package (12) in an axial direction (A); wherein at least one first conductor (16b) and an adjacent second conductor (16b) of the plurality of conductors are electrically connected to each other on an end face (20) of the stator package (12) by means of a bridge (34) formed by laser welding; wherein the bridge (34) formed by laser welding extends at an angle to the axial direction (A) between the conductor ends (18a, 18b) of the first conductor (16a) and the second conductor (16b).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an electrically conductive connection between a copper component 23, 23a and an aluminum component 24 by means of cold metal transfer welding, in which a welding wire is periodically moved back and forth from the material of a component to be welded.

Abstract: A welding method, e.g., a laser welding method, for connecting a first workpiece to a second workpiece, includes a first method step in which the first and the second workpiece are brought into contact with each other; a second method step in which a desired welding distortion is ascertained; and a third method step in which the first and the second workpiece are welded to each other as a function of the welding distortion, and/or in which the first and the second workpiece are rotated about an axis of rotation at a rotational speed, the first and the second workpiece being welded to each other as a function of the rotational speed.
