Method for producing a conductive connection between a metal component and an electrically conductive nanocomposite component comprising the following steps: - providing a metal component and a conductive nanocomposite component comprising a plastic matrix material and nanoparticles distributed therein, - positioning the metal component and the nanocomposite component in such a way that contact surfaces of the workpieces abut one another, - positioning a friction joining tool on a surface of the metal component remote from the nanocomposite component, the friction joining tool comprising a pin which is driven in displacement along its axial direction and in rotation, and a sleeve surrounding the pin driven in rotation and in the axial direction of the pin, and the front ends of the pin and the sleeve lying on the surface of the metal component remote from the nanocomposite component, - rotating the sleeve and the pin in order to generate friction between the front ends of the sleeve and the pin and the surface of the metal component remote from the nanocomposite component, - moving the pin and the sleeve in the axial direction of the pin whilst the two are being rotated, one of the sleeve and the pin penetrating the metal component and the other of the sleeve and the pin being retracted from the surface of the metal component remote from the nanocomposite component, the axial movement into the metal component being terminated before one of the sleeve and the pin reaches the contact surface between the metal component and the nanocomposite component, and after terminating the axial movement, one of the sleeve and the pin being retracted from the metal component and the other being moved towards the surface of the metal component remote from the nanocomposite component until the front ends of the pin and the sleeve are in the same plane. - providing a metal component and a conductive nanocomposite component comprising a plastic matrix material and nanoparticles distributed therein, - positioning the metal component and the nanocomposite component in such a way that contact surfaces of the workpieces abut one another, - positioning a friction joining tool on a surface of the metal component remote from the nanocomposite component, the friction joining tool comprising a pin which is driven in displacement along its axial direction and in rotation, and a sleeve surrounding the pin driven in rotation and in the axial direction of the pin, and the front ends of the pin and the sleeve lying on the surface of the metal component remote from the nanocomposite component, the friction joining tool comprising a pin which is driven in displacement along its axial direction and in rotation, and a sleeve surrounding the pin driven in rotation and in the axial direction of the pin, and the front ends of the pin and the sleeve lying on the surface of the metal component remote from the nanocomposite component, - rotating the sleeve and the pin in order to generate friction between the front ends of the sleeve and the pin and the surface of the metal component remote from the nanocomposite component, - moving the pin and the sleeve in the axial direction of the pin whilst the two are being rotated, one of the sleeve and the pin penetrating the metal component and the other of the sleeve and the pin being retracted from the surface of the metal component remote from the nanocomposite component, the axial movement into the metal component being terminated before one of the sleeve and the pin reaches the contact surface between the metal component and the nanocomposite component, and after terminating the axial movement, one of the sleeve and the pin being retracted from the metal component and the other being moved towards the surface of the metal component remote from the nanocomposite component until the front ends of the pin and the sleeve are in the same plane. the axial movement into the metal component being terminated before one of the sleeve and the pin reaches the contact surface between the metal component and the nanocomposite component, and after terminating the axial movement, one of the sleeve and the pin being retracted from the metal component and the other being moved towards the surface of the metal component remote from the nanocomposite component until the front ends of the pin and the sleeve are in the same plane.
