| Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to methods of fabricating structural members and, more particularly, to a technique for joining load bearing, thin walled, tubular members so that they possess improved strength and rigidity.
A load bearing structural joint that is fabricated using an electromagnetic process, features a tube that is joined to a fitting of another component. Lightweight materials and thicknesses can be used, because the welding is performed without the adverse effects of annealing or heat. The fabricated structure has an improved strength to weight ratio, and prolonged fatigue life. |
