A method for producing a component includes providing a powder or a wire where the powder or the wire is formed from an aluminum alloy of 12% by weight to 40% by weight silicon, 0.3% by weight to 4% by weight copper, 0.2% by weight to 0.7% by weight magnesium, at most 1% by weight iron, at most 0.5% by weight zirconium, and a remainder of aluminum and further accompanying elements and/or production-related impurities that each have a mass fraction of at most 0.3 percent individually and that in total have a mass fraction of at most 1.5 percent. The method further includes producing at least a sub-region of the component from the powder or the wire by an additive manufacturing process.

Component, in particular for a vehicle, and method for producing such a component

A crankcase for a reciprocating piston engine, in particular of a motor vehicle, includes at least first one wall region that has a greater wall thickness than at least one second wall region of the crankcase that adjoins the first wall region. The crankcase is produced from an aluminum alloy and by at least mainly laminar die casting and is heat-treated completely or heat-treated completely and additionally locally or heat-treated only locally.

A process for joining or welding components made from case-hardened steel to one another or to components made from cast iron uses a nickel-containing filler. The components are not prepared for the welding operation, i.e., the components do not undergo at least partial abrasion of surfaces to be joined.
