Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9845065A1] In a diffusion welding process for joining superimposed sheet metal parts by welding, part of the material of the metal sheets is locally upset by means of a stamp and a die perpendicularly to the plane of the metal sheets, causing the material of the sheet metal parts to yield and diffusion welding the sheet metal parts at a weld. In order to achieve a sufficiently solid weld even when the parts to be joined are made of materials with a particular tendency to hardening at low temperatures or pre-hardened materials, the parts of the metal sheet surrounding the weld are pressed onto the die during welding with a force which is sufficient to prevent the material from yielding against the active direction of the stamp.
