  • Method for Producing a Component Assembly, and Component Assembly
    Publication number: 20200038997
    Abstract: A method produces a component assembly, in which a first component and a second component are welded together, forming a front fillet weld. To reduce susceptibility to corrosion, a connection region to be smoothed, which includes the front fillet weld and component sections adjacent thereto on both sides, is melted, at least on the surface, such that the surface in the smoothed region extends continuously and the transition to adjacent unsmoothed regions is edge-free, and impurities are eliminated.
