Abstract

The invention relates to plastics composite moldings obtainable via welding in an alternating electromagnetic field, in which the weld is obtained with the aid of a plastics material which comprises nano-scale, magnetic oxidic particles, which are composed of aggregated primary particles, and where the primary particles are composed of magnetic metal oxide domains whose diameter is from 2 to 100 nm in a non-magnetic metal oxide matrix or non-magnetic metalloid oxide matrix.
