Abstract
A method for resistance welding a tube to a member. A tube is obtained having an axially-extending first portion and having a tube form which extends transversely from the first portion. The tube form has at least one axial projection. The tube and the member are positioned with the at-least-one axial projection in contact with the member. A resistance welding current path is created through the member and the tube including the at-least-one axial projection creating a weld zone which includes at least some of the at-least-one axial projection and at least some of the member.
