Method for assembling the terminal portion of a motor vehicle wheel axle support-member, and the terminal portion produced by this method.

摘要

The method enables certain components such as two half-shells (3), a hub (5) and flange (7) to be assembled for the purpose of forming a wheel axle terminal (1) and consists essentially of the following operations in succession: - positioning one of the half-shells (3) on the other so that their respective edges (11 and 13) and respective semicylindrical end portions (12) mate in order to form a cylindrical seat (4); - welding said half-shells (3) together along edges (11 and 13); - inserting said hub (5) into the cylindrical seat (4) and welding the axial ends of this latter to the seat (4) by circumferential butt welds; - positioning the flange (7) on an end portion (6) of the hub (5) which emerges from the seat (4), and welding the axial end of said portion (6) circumferentially by a butt weld to the flange (7).
