Assembly by clamping of two parts having, respectively, a rim and a deformable marginal part, with the interposition of a deformable seal. The marginal part 5 of the second part 2 has, before its deformation, a continuous rectilinear outer edge 6 and after its deformation for mounting the assembly, a continuous corrugated outer edge 16 and the alternate deformed 7 and non-deformed 8 parts, the parts 7 ensuring the mechanical connection and the parts 8 a reinforcement. Particular application to the assembly of the water box and the tube bundle bottom of a heat exchanger. |
