Claim Text:
1. A component comprising at least two metallic structural elements, a first structural element having a first continuous joining surface, and a second structural element having a second continuous joining surface, the first and second structural elements being joined via the first and second continuous joining surfaces by an inductive high-frequency pressure welding, wherein the first continuous joining surface has a shape that is peripherally widened in comparison to the second continuous joining surface, and an upsetting deformation produced in a join region in response to the joining of the first and second structural elements rests virtually entirely within and on a continuous peripheral collar formed by the peripheral widening of the first continuous joining surface; and wherein at a junction of the second continuous joining surface and the first continuous joining surface, the upsetting deformation has a notch; the notch residing outside of a nominal geometry of the first and second structural element of the component.
