Abstract
There is provided a coupling process whereby two components can be coupled together at high positional precision regardless of precision of a single component. A softer componentof two componentsto be coupled together is subjected to shearing by a cornerof a harder componentwhile respective parts of the two components, positioning of the respective parts being required, are kept as-positioned state with the use of a mandrel, and a side face of the corneris fitted to a sheared surfaceof the softer componentduring shearing in progress, subsequently coupling the two componentstogether at a fitting surface by plastic coupling, press-fitting, or welding.
