An assembly comprising a first component joined to a second component by means of an intermediate joint is provided. The first component has a first joining surface arranged coaxially and spaced in a juxtaposition around a second joining surface of the second component, such that a groove is defined between the first and second joining surfaces. The groove comprises an arcuate section formed in that one of the first and second joining surfaces comprises a concave portion and the other of the first and second joining surfaces comprises a convex portion, radially opposite from the concave portion. The intermediate joint is formed by an insert ring, made of a high strength material, pressed into the groove and deformed such that material of the insert ring fills the concave portion and surrounds the convex portion. Consequently, the first and second components are locked relative to each other in both axial directions.
