ABSTRACT:
A magnetic pulse welding operation is performed to secure first and second metallic components together, such as a yoke and a driveshaft tube in a vehicular driveshaft assembly. The yoke includes a first portion, such as a body portion, and a second portion, such as a pair of opposed yoke arms. The end of the driveshaft tube is disposed co-axially about the body portion of the yoke. An inductor axially is positioned co-axially about the overlapping portions of the end of the driveshaft tube and the body portion of the yoke. The inductor is energized to perform a magnetic pulse welding operation to secure the end of the driveshaft tube to the body portion of the yoke without generating a significant flow of air toward the inductor.
