COMPOSITE OF SHEET METAL PARTS

摘要

A composite of sheet metal parts (11, 12) on or for a vehicle, the composite forming part of an outer shell of the vehicle when assembled onto the vehicle, the composite comprising: a) a first sheet metal part (11) forming a first outer shell region (11a) and comprising a first joining region (11c) which projects from the first outer shell region (11a) via a bent transition (11b) towards an inner side of the composite; b) a second sheet metal part (12) forming a second outer shell region (12a) and comprising a second joining region (12c) which projects from the second outer shell region (12a) towards the inner side of the composite, the second joining region (12c) facing the first joining region (11c); c) and a welding or soldering seam (17) along which the sheet metal parts (11, 12) are connected; d) wherein the seam (17) runs along or alongside a flange edge (11d) which is formed in the first joining region (11e) at a distance from the first outer shell region (11a), a flange (11e) deviating from the first joining region (11c) along the flange edge (11d).
