Abstract
Fusible sheet edges are joined by first forming each of the edges with a laterally projecting burr and then butting the edges together at a join line with both the burrs directed in the same lateral direction adjacent each other and plastically deforming the laterally projecting burrs at the join line in the lateral direction opposite their projection direction. Finally the edges are fused together at the join line. The burrs are plastically deformed by pressing them with a barrel-shaped roller that is moved along the join line.
