Welding process and device

Abstract

A process, a welding device, and an auxiliary welding material for welding a welding seam between two structural components, particularly in the production of a filling level gauge The invention relates to a process, a welding device, and an auxiliary welding material for welding a welding seam between structural components in the production of a filling level gauge. In a known manner the first and second structural parts are placed together, and an auxiliary welding material is prepared and introduced, whereupon the first such structural component and the second structural component are welded together using the auxiliary welding material upon the introduction of heat. To permit a more uniform welding seam the auxiliary welding material is inserted before welding as a shaped auxiliary welding material into the area of the welding seam between the first and the second structural components, and the shape of the auxiliary welding seam is at least partially adjusted to the shape of the welding seam.
