In a process for joining two metallic workpieces (1.1,1.2) together, the pieces are butted together to form a butt joint (2) and are joined to one another in the region of the butt joint (2). During this operation, the workpieces (1.1,1.2) are subjected to a magnetic attraction force at one side, and can be subjected to holddown pressure on the opposite side.
