ABSTRACT:
A frame assembly is manufacturing by initially providing first and second brackets. The brackets are provided by initially providing a closed channel structural member and deforming the closed channel structural member, such as by hydroforming, to have a central body portion having a pair of arm portions extending therefrom. The central portion is then divided, such as by cutting, to provide first and second brackets, each including one of the arm portions. A frame assembly is provided including a component having first and second openings formed therethrough. The arm portions of the first and second brackets are disposed respectively in the first and second openings and secured thereto by magnetic pulse welding.
