A structural component for a motor vehicle is configured to extend transversely to a direction of travel for the motor vehicle and is configured to separate a passenger compartment and a front compartment of the motor vehicle. The structural component includes: a dashboard; two A-pillars arranged in each case laterally with respect to the dashboard; and a transverse reinforcement running along an upper side of the dashboard. The structural component is one-part or a one-piece light-metal die casting.

Structural component

A diecasting tool has an insert for producing a cooled motor housing. The diecasting tool has mould halves including: a stationary mould half; and movable mould half. One of the mould halves has a cylindrically extending annular gap having a central axis. The moveable mould half is arranged so as to be movable parallel to the central axis. The insert is arranged in the cylindrically extending annular gap. The insert is a bush. One end of the bush projects into a mould cavity, which is formed by the stationary mould half and the movable mould half, and is at least partially surrounded in a form-fitting manner by the casting material in a state when the casting material is cast.
