Method for fixing a connecting element on a workpiece and component comprising a workpiece with a connecting element fixed on it

Abstract

A method for fixing on a metal workpiece a connecting element permits the friction-increasing, play-free, reversible connection of workpieces to be joined. The connecting element includes a metal foil which bears on its joining surfaces hard material particles, which are fixed on the metal foil by means of a metallic binder phase. The connecting element is fixed on the metal workpiece securely for purposes of assembly and transportation by welding involving the formation of locally confined weld points. Alternatively a component includes a metal workpiece and a connecting element fixed on it securely for purposes of assembly and transportation by locally confined weld points. The connecting element permits the friction-increasing, play-free, reversible connection of workpieces to be joined and includes a metal foil which bears on its joining surfaces hard material particles, which are fixed on the metal foil by means of a metallic binder phase.
