  • Method for metallurgically attaching together two members
    Patent number: 6552294
    Abstract: A first method for metallurgically attaching together two members. A first member is obtained having a through hole and having a longitudinally-projecting flange surrounding the through hole. A second member is obtained having a transversely-projecting annular rim. The second member is at least partially positioned in the through hole of the first member with the flange of the first member projecting away from the rim. The first and second members are resistance welded together, wherein after the weld is created, the rim of the second member is seated on the first member. In an other method, which is similar to the first method, the second member has no rim.
