A vehicle structural component includes at least one first and at least one second fiber-reinforced plastics insert, an injection-molded rib structure, where the injection-molded rib structure connects the plastic inserts and is injection-molded onto the plastic inserts, and at least one metal element which forms an attachment region of the vehicle structural component.

Vehicle structural component and method for producing a vehicle structural component

An adhesive aid and a method for adhering components by use of an adhesive are provided. The adhesive can be found in an adhesive gap between respective adhesive surfaces of the components. At least the first component has an opening which opens into the component adhesive surface. The adhesive aid has an insert portion, which is designed to be inserted into the opening and has an insert outer contour that correlates to an inner contour of the opening, and a displacement portion, which adjoins the insert portion in order to displace adhesive in the adhesive gap. The displacement portion has a protrusion which protrudes past the insert outer contour in the radial direction, and the displacement portion is designed to be flexible, in particular elastic, at least in the region of the protrusion.

Adhesive aid and method for adhering components

A process is provided for producing a composite component having a first component element and a second component element, which are connected with one another by an adhesive connection. The process includes forming an adhesive cavity by applying thermally active plastic material to an adhesive connection side of the first component element and/or to an adhesive connection side of the second component element; arranging the first component element on the second component element, wherein a gap is formed between the adhesive connection side of the first component element and the adhesive connection side of the second component element, and supplying of heat in such a manner that the thermally active plastic material expands and forms a boundary in the gap between the first component element and the second one. The process further fills the formed adhesive cavity with an adhesive for the permanent connection of the first component element with the second component element.
