Method for connecting a first component to a second component by electromagnetic pulse shaping, use of electromagnetic pulse shaping for producing a connection, motor vehicle seat, motor vehicle door and motor vehicle

The present invention provides a method for connecting a first component (102) to a second component (104) by means of electromagnetic pulse welding in the motor vehicle sector, wherein the weld formed during the welding of the first and second components (102, 104) extends in a substantially planar manner in a plane perpendicular to a joining direction (122) along which the first and/or second component (102, 104) is/are moved in order to weld said components to each other.
