A method for producing a plastics-metal hybrid component, in which, in order to improve the adhesion of a metal surface of a main body made of metal provided with a corrosion protection layer made of zinc and at least one plastics component, the corrosion protection layer of the metal surface of the main body is provided with a surface structure having undercuts, which are each at least partially filled with the at least one plastics component in a direct injection process such that the latter engages behind the undercuts in the surface structure of the corrosion protection layer of the metal surface of the main body, wherein the plastics-metal hybrid component is formed, wherein an additional substance which can be readily joined to and is electrochemically compatible with the corrosion protection layer of the metal surface of the main body is applied, in a targeted and limited manner, in the form of successive elements of a geometrically determinate and/or geometrically indeterminate shape to the corrosion protection layer of the metal surface of the main body in a movement relative thereto, and the elements of the additional substance applied to the corrosion protection layer are each melted by means of a laser and welded to the corrosion protection layer, wherein o strip-shaped wire wool is used as the additional substance, wherein the strip-shaped wire wool can be consecutively applied to the corrosion protection layer, in portions, as interconnected metal elements of a geometrically determinate and/or geometrically indeterminate shape, or o a structuring wire which is unrolled from a wire reel is used as the additional substance, which wire is consecutively formed, in portions, from the unrolled end of the structuring wire, into interconnected metal elements of a geometrically determinate and/or geometrically indeterminate shape by means of a wire former, which is positioned above the corrosion protection layer and is moved relative thereto, which elements are each consecutively applied to the corrosion protection layer from the unrolled end of the structuring wire, or o the elements of the additional substance are formed by portions of a geometrically determinate and/or geometrically indeterminate shape of a structuring wire which is unrolled from a reel, which elements are individually cut off from the unrolled end of the structuring wire by means of a wire cutter, which is positioned above the corrosion protection layer and is moved relative thereto, and which are applied to the corrosion protection layer consecutively and at a distance from one another by falling down from the wire cutter, or o particles are used as metal elements of the additional substance, which are individually and successively applied to the corrosion protection layer in a geometrically determinate and/or geometrically indeterminate shape. o strip-shaped wire wool is used as the additional substance, wherein the strip-shaped wire wool can be consecutively applied to the corrosion protection layer, in portions, as interconnected metal elements of a geometrically determinate and/or geometrically indeterminate shape, or o a structuring wire which is unrolled from a wire reel is used as the additional substance, which wire is consecutively formed, in portions, from the unrolled end of the structuring wire, into interconnected metal elements of a geometrically determinate and/or geometrically indeterminate shape by means of a wire former, which is positioned above the corrosion protection layer and is moved relative thereto, which elements are each consecutively applied to the corrosion protection layer from the unrolled end of the structuring wire, or o the elements of the additional substance are formed by portions of a geometrically determinate and/or geometrically indeterminate shape of a structuring wire which is unrolled from a reel, which elements are individually cut off from the unrolled end of the structuring wire by means of a wire cutter, which is positioned above the corrosion protection layer and is moved relative thereto, and which are applied to the corrosion protection layer consecutively and at a distance from one another by falling down from the wire cutter, or o particles are used as metal elements of the additional substance, which are individually and successively applied to the corrosion protection layer in a geometrically determinate and/or geometrically indeterminate shape.
