  • Publication number: 20250121645
    Abstract: A twist beam axle has two side arms and a torsion profile. The torsion profile is connected to a side arm by a weld seam in each case. At least in the area of the welded connection, the torsion profile has a wall having a wall thickness that is greater than the wall thickness of a wall of a side arm. The torsion profile has a joining surface at each end section and the side arms each have a joining surface, wherein the torsion profile and the side arms are each connected at mutually facing joining surfaces by a weld seam. The joining surface at the end section of the torsion profile has a bevel. The joining gap formed between the mutually facing joining surfaces of the end section and the side arm is configured as V-shaped.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for joining using friction and current, wherein the friction/current joining apparatus includes a friction device, a forging device, an electrical current source, and a programmable controller, as well as workpiece holders for the workpieces to be joined. The friction/current joining apparatus is controlled such that, in a contacting phase, the workpieces are initially moved along a process axis, and their mutually facing joining surfaces oriented transverse to a common process axis are brought into contact. In a grinding phase, while subjected to contact pressure by mutual relative movement, the joining surfaces, are ground together and made smooth.
