Abstract

The invention relates to a process of butt-welding together sheet metal plates, in particular those having different sheet metal thicknesses, by means of an edge preparation to the extent that the edges of the sheet metal plates are milled in a sheet metal stack (5). For this purpose, the appropriate apparatus has a supporting and clamping means (1, 2, 3, 9, 10).
