A pin to plate joint and method of making the joint comprising a plate (20) comprising an entry side (26) and an exit side (28) with the plate defining cutouts (46,48,50,52), and the pin (70) movable through the plate from the entry side to the exit side and in doing so pushes tab members (55) at angles to the exit side of the plate at bends. The bends in the plate define an opening (84) in the plate, and flow spaces (86) are defined between the pin sidewall (80) and the bends (85) in the plate, with the tab members being heated to form melted tab material and flowing the melted tab material into the flow spaces and cooling, forming a pin to plate joint. <IMAGE> |
