Abstract
A method for connecting a tube and a cast component includes widening an end section of the tube to form a widened section, positioning the cast component adjacent to the widened section, and welding the cast component to enclose at least a portion of the widened section with a weld deposit in at least one step, thereby locking the tube and the cast component together. A connection between a tube and a cast component is also provided.
