Example Embodiment

[0045] According to the drawings, first the first metal plate 1 and the second metal plate 2 are arranged to be connected to each other and form an assembly. The first metal plate 1 shown and the second metal plate 2 shown here both consist of high-strength steel. The two metal plates have a thickness of about 1.5 mm.

[0046] Next, the first metal plate 1 and the second metal plate 2 are introduced into the punching riveting assembly tool 3. The piercing riveting tool 3 includes a feeding protrusion 4 in which a punch is arranged. The feed protrusion 4 guides the punch 5, and the punch rivet 6 is provided at the bottom end of the punch 5. The feed protrusion 4 in which the punch 5 is positioned and the guided perforated rivet 6 are located on the assembly for connecting the first metal plate 1 and the second metal plate 2 together. Under the component to be connected is a mold 7.

[0047] After the first metal plate 1 and the second metal plate 2 are introduced into the perforati...

Abstract

Disclosed are a method for joining two or several metal sheets or profiled parts, particularly of a vehicle body segment, and a vehicle body segment. Said method for joining two or several metal sheets or profiled parts, one of which is typically made of a higher-strength steel, comprises the following steps: a) the metal sheets or profiled parts are mechanically connected in a positive and/or non-positive manner at one or several junctions, whereupon b) the junctions are thermally joined using pressure welding. The inventive method makes it possible to produce body segments that are provided with top quality spot-welded joints, especially in the motor vehicle sector.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for joining two or more sheet metal and / or profile parts. The invention relates in particular to a method for joining two or more metal sheets and / or profiles, at least one of which consists of high-strength steel. Welding of sheet metal and / or profile parts, in particular pressure welding of sheet metal and / or profile parts, is a particularly economical method, since it can be done quickly without major outlay for equipment and enables permanent bonding connect. Background technique [0002] However, welding can only be used to a limited extent, since its basic prerequisite is that the materials to be welded are well welded together. Primarily, identical or substantially identical metals and metal alloys can be welded to each other. Dissimilar metals or alloys such as aluminum and steel or copper and steel can be welded together only with difficulty or not at all. [0003] Furthermore, not only steels of different...
