A method for joining elements (3,4) to one another by means of friction stir welding comprises the following steps: clamping the elements (3,4) such that the parts thereof which face one another and are to be joined are immovable with respect to one another, bringing a mandrel into contact with said parts in the region of the joint to be produced, cyclic movement of the mandrel (10) with respect to the elements (3,4) such that frictional heat is generated and the parts are brought into the plastic state, influencing the distribution of frictional heat in at least one of said elements such that the frictional heat is essentially concentrated in the parts of said at least one element which have been brought into the plastic state, and allowing the parts brought into the plastic state to cool in order to form the joint. <IMAGE> |
