Abstract

In the case of a turbine wheel of a hydrodynamic torque converter having a lockup clutch, a radial flange of a hub is connected on its faces, in each case, by means of friction welding, with one radial flange respectively of an outer shell holding turbine blades and of a disk support which non-rotatably holds clutch disks.
