Abstract

Process for manufacturing a part, in particular a composite cast part, includes the steps of: providing at least one insertion element; casting a casting material around at least a portion of the at least one insertion element such that at least one contact area is formed between the at least one insertion element and the casting material; and welding the at least one insertion element to the casting material in the contact area.

Claims (18)

1. A method for producing a component or a component connection, comprising:

providing at least one insert element;

encapsulating at least certain regions of the at least one insert element with a cast material, wherein at least one contact region is formed between the at least one insert element and the cast material; and

welding at least certain regions of the at least one insert element to the cast material in the contact region away from a location at which the encapsulated portion of the at least one insert element ends and a not-encapsulated portion of the at least one insert element begins.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the act of welding comprises:

pressure welding in the contact region.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the act of welding comprises:

friction stir welding in the contact region.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the contact region has at least two contact surfaces, the method further comprising:

welding the at least two contact surfaces to the cast material.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein

the at least two contact surfaces are opposite contact surfaces.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

forming a punctiform and/or linear weld seam.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the act of encapsulating comprises:

encapsulating in a die-casting operation.

8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

performing a heat treatment before the welding.
