Abstract: A method for metallurgically attaching a tube (32) to a member (18). A member (18) having a wall (20) is obtained. The wall (20) includes opposing first and second sides (22, 24) and includes a partial extrusion (26) extending above the first side (22). The partial extrusion (26) has a through hole (28). A tube (32) having an end portion (34) is obtained. The tube (32) and the member (18) are positioned with the end portion (34) contacting the second side (24) of the wall (20) proximate the partial extrusion (26). A resistance welding current path is created through the tube (32) and the member (18) proximate the end portion (34) and the partial extrusion (26), and the end portion (34) is relatively moved into and deformingly against the partial extrusion (26) creating a weld zone (36) which includes at least some of the end portion (34) at least some of the partial extrusion (26).

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a tubular assembly (10). A first tube (14) is obtained. A first tubular connector (18) having first and second end portions (20, 22) is obtained. The first end portion (20) is metallurgically attached to the first tube (14). A tubular member (28) having a third end portion (30) is obtained. At least one of the second and third end portions (22, 30) includes an annular outward fold (22) including spaced-apart first and second fold portions (34, 36). The first tubular connector (18) and the tubular member (28) are positioned with the second end portion (22) aligned with and contacting the third end portion (30). A resistance welding current path is created through the first tubular connector (18) and the tubular member (28) proximate the second and third end portions (22, 30) and the second and third end portions (22, 30) are relatively and deformingly moved together, creating a weld zone which includes at least some of the second and third end portions (22, 30).

Abstract translation: 一种制造管状组件（10）的方法。 获得第一管（14）。 获得具有第一和第二端部（20,22）的第一管状连接器（18）。 第一端部（20）冶金地连接到第一管（14）。 获得具有第三端部（30）的管状构件（28）。 第二和第三端部（22,30）中的至少一个包括具有间隔开的第一和第二折叠部分（34,36）的环形向外折叠部（22）。 第一管状连接器（18）和管状构件（28）定位成第二端部（22）与第三端部（30）对齐并接触第三端部（30）。 通过第一管状连接器（18）和靠近第二和第三端部（22,30）以及第二和第三端部（22,30）的管状构件（28）产生电阻焊接电流路径，其相对且变形地 一起移动，形成包括第二和第三端部（22,30）中的至少一些的焊接区。
