Abstract
A method for aligning an elongated component that is to be fitted, with at least two component segments, into two coaxial installation points (A/B; C) spaced apart from one another. In this context, the coaxiality of the component segments is checked and any existing deviation from coaxiality is measured. At least one material fusion area, limited radially and in a circumferential direction, is generated in a surface region of the component located between the component segments, at a magnitude such that as a result of the axial shrinkage ensuing upon cooling of the material fusion area, coaxiality of the component segments is produced at least within tolerable limits.

A method for aligning an elongated component that is to be fitted, with at least two component segments, into two coaxial installation points spaced apart from one another, comprising:
- checking coaxiality of the component segments and measuring any existing deviation from coaxiality;
- and generating at least one material fusion area, limited radially and in a circumferential direction, in a surface region of the component located between the component segments, at a magnitude such that as a result of axial shrinkage ensuing upon cooling of the material fusion area, coaxiality of the component segments is produced at least within tolerable limits.
