Abstract
Joining of two elements of aluminium or aluminum alloys, where at least one element is the outer layer forming a part of a composite. The connection is made via a weld bead made by fusion welding at least one outer layer of the one element to the second element. The invention is particularly well suited for manufacturing complex, mechanically stable, load bearing structures of any desired shape that contain composites. The invention also concerns the method for fusion welding composites in which the preparation of the weld bead area is of decisive importance.
