A card-shaped data carrier includes a card body, a chip element, and a stabilization structure. The chip element is received in the card body and has a peripheral chip element edge, which defines a transition area peripherally around the chip element and between the chip element and the card body. The stabilization structure is arranged in the card body and extends at least in some sections in the transition area and provides a structural reinforcement of the transition area.

A card body for a chip card, includes a metal layer made of a steel alloy. The steel alloy of the metal layer contains 0.07 to 4 wt. % of carbon, and/or the steel alloy of the metal layer contains 0.01 to 0.3 wt. % of sulfur.

Card body for a chip card, and chip card

A method is provided for producing a chip card body having a metallic core layer for a contactless or dual-interface chip card. A slot in the metallic core layer for reducing eddy currents is generated not in the metallic multiple-copy sheet itself but instead only in the metallic core layer extracted from the metallic multiple-copy sheet. In this way, there are no short-circuit-forming metal chips left in the slot, since the slot is generated only after the extraction of the metallic core layer from the multiple-copy sheet.

Method for producing a chip card body

In a method for manufacturing a multi-layered card body with a metallic core layer and at least one cover layer for a contactless or dual-interface chip card an adhesive is applied to at least one side of the metallic core layer in such a manner that a slot in the metallic core layer is filled with the adhesive. The metallic core layer is subsequently laminated with the cover layer by means of the adhesive. As a result, no short-circuit can occur in the slot, e.g. by metal chips remaining in the slot, because the slot has already been filled with the adhesive.
