A method for joining two components, of which at least one is tubular in shape, more preferably of an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine. The joint can be produced in an easier manner with high quality if a ring-shaped joining element having an outer cone on at least one axial side with its outer cone is axially pressed into an axial end section of the one tubular component, as a result of which the end section of the one component widens along the outer cone when on its axial end of the widened end section and on the joining element a circumferential weld seam is produced and when the other component on an axial end section is joined with the joining element.

A method for producing an exhaust-gas aftertreatment device inserts a monolith in a housing, assembled from a circumferentially enclosed jacket and two end funnels. The monolith is axially inserted into the jacket with a circumferentially enclosing support mat. The funnels are connected to the jacket via an axial connecting section shaped complementary to the cross-section of the jacket, such that each connecting section and an axial end section of the support mat axially overlap. The jacket, including the connecting sections of the funnels are reduced from a starting cross-section to an end cross-section. This produces a predetermined radial preload in the support mat in a support area extending from the one connecting section to the other connecting section to retain the monolith in the jacket.
