To produce can bodies, a continuous can jacket is disclosed, that is sealed by way of a first joint is produced from a flat metal material. At least one sealing element is mounted on the continuous can jacket by way of an additional joint. At least one of the additional joints is configured as a laser welding seam, which forms an annular continuous sealing seam between the continuous can jacket and the sealing element(s). Before the sealing seam is welded, complementary seam contact surfaces of the can jacket and the sealing element are configured as annular continuous edge regions that flare out of narrow towards the can axis. To weld the sealing seam, the can jacket and the sealing element(s) are pushed together until the edge regions make contact, one of the end faces of the two edge regions lying on the interior of the can body and the other lying on the exterior of the body. This enables the air-free welding of the seam contact surfaces, thus guaranteeing an impermeable welding seam even with the use of extremely thin metal sheets. The material overlap in the vicinity of the sealing seam is minimal.

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing a can body, for which a can jacket that is closed in a first joining step by a first joint is produced from a flat material and at least one closure member is arranged on the closed can jacket with at least one additional joint, wherein at least o
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing a can body, for which a can jacket that is closed in a first joining step by a first joint is produced from a flat material and at least one closure member is arranged on the closed can jacket with at least one additional joint, wherein at least one additional joint is embodied as a laser-welded seam which forms a ring-shaped, circumferential closing seam between the closed can jacket and the at least one closure member, wherein seam contact surfaces of the can jacket and the closure member that are pressed against each other prior to the welding of the closing seam are embodied as ring-shaped circumferential edge regions which are at least one of expanded and necked down in a direction along a longitudinal axis of the can for the welding of the closing seam, the method comprising: pushing the can jacket and the at least one closure member together, with the edge regions getting to a stop position, wherein from the end faces of the two edge regions one is positioned on the inside and one on the outside of the can body; forming the closing seam when two air-free adjoining seam contact surfaces are at a stop position against each other; and an expanding step wherein the can jacket is inserted into an external mold, a hose element is arranged inside of the can jacket and the hose element is expanded, thereby the hose element is pressing the can wall against the external mold, wherein the hose element is separated from the can jacket. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the first joint is embodied as a longitudinal seam in the form of a laser-welded butt seam for which the two end faces on the side of the flat material form the seam contact surfaces and the wall thickness of the can jacket is essentially constant along the complete circumference. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein prior to the welding of a closing seam, edge regions which are necked down toward the end faces are formed on both end faces of the can jacket. 4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the expanding step is performed prior to the welding of the closing seam, and wherein at least the edge regions near the end faces are formed, if necessary also an engagement region for a can lid and in particular decorating structures. 5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the expanding step is performed following the welding of at least one closing seam. 6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the flat material of the can jacket comprises a decorating film on the outside. 7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the flat material of the can jacket comprises on the inside an internal film and that at least one covering device is arranged on the inside film, the at least one covering device being applied to the longitudinal seam after the welding, in such a way that it joins tightly with the inside film on both sides of the longitudinal seam, thereby covering the longitudinal seam. 8. The method according to claim 7, wherein the covering device comprises respectively at least one sealing bulge, wherein the at least one sealing bulge is made to flow, in a melting step, such that the longitudinal seam is covered by the material of the sealing bulge. 9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the at least one closure member comprises on the inside a plastic inside coating including a sealing bulge, wherein the sealing bulge is heated to the flow temperature following the forming of the closing seam, such that the end face positioned on the can inside is covered by the material of the sealing bulge. 10. The method according to claim 1, wherein the adjoining seam contact surfaces are non-coated during the welding of at least one closing seam. 11. The method according to claim 1, wherein at least one closing seam is covered on the outside of the can body by a base covering.
