Welding fabrication processes are classified in accordance with the German Stan-
dards DIN 8580 and DIN 8595 in main group 4 “Joining”, group 4.6 “Joining by
Welding”, Figure 0.1.

Welding: permanent, positive joining

method. The course of the strain
lines is almost ideal. Welded joints Screwing

show therefore higher strength prop-

erties than the joint types depicted
Riveting
in Figure 0.2. This is of advantage,
especially in the case of dynamic
stress, as the notch effects are Adhesive
bonding
lower.
