A connection method for a welding auxiliary joining part with a head and a tip for setting in at least a first component of a poorly weldable material with a die as a counter-bearing, which has a recess with a die angle MW between a central axis of the recess and an inner wall of the recess, for preparing a subsequent welding method, the connection method comprising the steps of:
- setting the welding auxiliary joining part in the at least one first component of the poorly weldable material and against the die, wherein there is a material displacement gap provided between the welding auxiliary joining part and the die into which the poorly weldable material of the at least one first component is capable of being removed radially outwardly, and
- deforming the tip portion of the welding auxiliary joining part at the die, while the following conditions are fulfilled:
- 0.4
- ≤
- SR
- MR
- ≤
- 1.0
- ,
- wherein SW denotes a tip radius of the tip of the welding auxiliary joining part measured between the central axis and a outer surface of the welding auxiliary joining part.
