All finishing operations are carried out on the separate bearing parts prior to assembly so that a finished part results after welding. Each flange is provided with a protrusion which collapses during the projection welding process. Projection welding prevents damage to the bearing antifriction material and also prevents deformation of the bearing parts during welding. | |
