In an arrangement for holding a first fastening element and a second fastening element on an axle element for an axle of a motor vehicle, in particular of a utility vehicle, the first fastening element arranged on a first side of the axle element and intended to support a spring mechanism of the axle is held on the axle element. The second fastening element is arranged on a second side of the axle element facing away from the first side and is used to support a bracket engaging, at least partially, around the axle element and intended for fastening the spring mechanism on the axle element is held on the axle element. At least one of the fastening elements is joined to the axle element by a welding rivet.

A differential gear includes a differential housing consisting of cast iron and a differential crown wheel consisting of case hardened steel. The differential gear, while being of reproducible quality, can be produced simply and cost-effectively. The differential housing has, on the circumference onto which the differential crown wheel is pressed, a bearing shoulder, to which the differential crown wheel is fastened via a nickel-containing welded joint. The composition of the welded joint is influenced by the use of a nickel-containing additional material which is added to the welding melt in the form of an annular foil arranged between the bearing shoulder and the differential crown wheel.

A process for joining or welding components made from case-hardened steel to one another or to components made from cast iron uses a nickel-containing filler. The components are not prepared for the welding operation, i.e., the components do not undergo at least partial abrasion of surfaces to be joined.
