The invention relates to a method for joining a composite sheet-metal part (2) with another component (3). The composite sheet-metal part (2) has at least two outer covering sheets (4, 5) and at least one nonmetal layer (6) arranged between the covering sheets (4, 5), and the other component (3) has at least one outer metal layer (4, 5). The composite sheet-metal part (2) and the other component (3) are brought between two electrodes (7, 8) of a resistance welding unit so as to overlap each other. The aim of the invention is to allow a joining of composite sheet-metal parts in a reliable manner by means of resistance welding. This is achieved in that an electrically conductive dummy element (11, 25, 27) is brought into contact with an outer covering sheet (4, 5), and at least one current path between the two electrodes (7, 8) is closed by the electrically conductive dummy element (11, 25, 27). |
