An article of manufacture consisting of a fastener bonded to an exposed surface of a tube by a solid state pulse resistance weld at the faying interface between the fastener and the tube to form an integral unitary structure. The method of producing the unitary structure involves the utilization of unique welding structures wherein the parts being integrated are disposed in juxtaposed position followed by a time phased application of a force pulse and an electrical energy pulse to the assembled parts to produce a solid state resistance weld at the faying interface to achieve the desired structure.
