Zusammenfassung:A method of forming a weld joint is provided. A first component having a base portion and a flange extending from the base portion is provided. A second component is provided. The second component and the flange are brought into abutment and a load is applied to the flange via the second component. The flange is biased against the second component by a reaction of the first component to the load. One of the first and the second components is vibrated to form a weld joint between at least a part of the second component and at least a part of the flange.
