The present disclosure relates to a connecting element and to a process for producing said connecting element. The present disclosure further relates to the use of said connecting element for friction-increasing connection of components to be joined in machine, plant and motor vehicle construction and energy generation.

Connecting element for the friction-increasing connection of components, process for making a connecting element and use of a connecting element

Provided herein is a method for securely fixing a connecting element on a metal workpiece by welding involving the formation of locally confined weld points that permits the friction-increasing, play-free, reversible connection of joined workpieces for applications in assembly and transportation. The connecting element includes a metal foil having hard material particles fixed on the joining surfaces by a metallic binding layer. Similarly, a component having a metal workpiece and the connecting element, which is suitable for the connection of workpieces to be joined in machine, plant, and motor vehicle construction, is also provided.

Method for fixing a connecting element on a workpiece and component comprising a workpiece with a connecting element fixed on it

Described is a device and method for a securing element for screw connections as an interlayer, between the screw head and supporting material and/or between the nut and supporting material, the basic body of the element consisting of a metallic material, to the top side and underside of which hard material particles are fixed, wherein the hard material particles are fixed by means of a metallic binding phase, the thickness of the metallic binding phase being lower than the mean diameter of the hard material particles, so that the hard material particles project out of the metallic binding phase.
