A method comprising bonding an element to one or more bonding substrates by inductive heating using a magnetic field whose frequency is situated in a frequency range from 100 Hz to 200 kHz. The element comprises at least one electrically conducting layer having an electrical conductivity of more than 40 MS/m for 300K and at least one heat-activatable adhesive layer coated onto at least one side of the electrically conducting layer, and the heat-activatable adhesive layer comprises at least one thermally conductive filler. The material of the thermally conductive filler has a thermal conductivity of at least 0.5 W/(m*K) and is electrically nonconducting such that the element provides, in a direction perpendicular to the areal extent of the element, an electrical breakdown resistance, as determined in accordance with VDE 0100.

Heat-activated, glueable surface elements

A method glues a heat-activated glueable surface element to an adhesive substrate which does not conduct electric current, whereby a surface thereof has only a low thermal conductivity. The heat-activated glueable surface element has an electrically conductive layer in addition to a heat-activated adhesive mass. The layer is inductively heated for a short time in an alternating magnetic field at a frequency from a middle frequency range. A high pressure of at least 1 MPa is exerted on the gluing surface simultaneously to the inductive heating, whereby preventing thermal decomposition reactions is possible. Further, a device performs the method and has an induction heater integrated in a press tool.
