Patent ID: 8881367

Claim:
A method for production of a joining component, the method comprising the steps of: providing a metal section, the metal section being inductively heatable and defining an axial through aperture; and coating the metal element with a thermoplastic material by a single-component injection-moulding of a base body of the joining component around the metal section so that the base body includes: a holding section formed as a cylindrical shaft including a first end and defining a first diameter; a flange section formed unitary with the holding section at the first end of the holding section, the flange section including a first side and a second side and the holding section projects axially from the first side, and the flange section defines a second diameter larger than the first diameter; and wherein the joining component thus formed with the metal section includes: an inner side of the metal section joined to the flange section and an exposed outer side of the metal section facing away from the flange section; a first surface of the second side of the flange section is axially recessed within the aperture by an offset depth with respect to the outer side of the metal section; and a joining surface comprised of the outer side of the metal section and a second surface of the second side of the flange section radially outward of the metal section.
