Abstract

A method for welding two components is provided. The method includes providing a first component, which has a convex elevation, and providing a second component, which has a through-hole. The method also includes placing the two components one against the other such that the convex elevation of the first component protrudes into the through-hole in an interlocking manner, and welding the two components along the rim of the through-hole by way of a laser welding device. The welding is performed without the use of a welding filler and the laser welding device is repeatedly switched on and off in a pulsed manner during the welding of the two components along the rim of the through-hole.
