Abstract
An assembly of parts is prepared by providing a female part having a recess and a male part having an inserted surface received within the recess. A relief pattern such as knurling is formed on the inserted surface. The inserted surface of the male part is inserted into the recess of the female part with a contacting-channeled fit between the inserted surface and the recess surface, so that the knurl serves to align the inserted surface within the recess. The inserted surface of the male part is brazed or otherwise joined to the recess of the female part.
