Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a welding assembly (2, 8), in particular a housing of an electrical machine (1). A first, cold-formed joining partner (2), which is formed from a cold-formable first aluminium alloy having a low silicon content, and a second joining partner (8) formed from a second aluminium alloy having an increased silicon content as compared to the first aluminium alloy are provided. Said joining partners are joined by means of laser beam welding. The silicon content of the second aluminium alloy is increased relative to the first aluminium alloy in such a way that a silicon content of at least approximately 3% is provided in a welding zone (74) between the first and the second joining partner (2, 8).

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for providing a toothed motor part of an electric motor with a winding using a coil wire with a round wire cross-section, wherein the coil wire is converted into a coil wire with a wire cross-section different from the round wire cross-section in a forming process, and the formed coil wire is wound around the teeth of the motor part to produce a rotating field winding.
