A surface-coated steel sheet of stainless steel is disclosed and has a coating which is made up of at least one metallic corrosion protection layer () and at least one further layer () applied to the metallic corrosion protection layer. For such a steel sheet to offer, without a color-imparting organic surface coating, a high-quality impression in terms of aesthetic effect and additionally, have a very high UV resistance, the at least one further layer () may be a metallic layer or be formed from a metallic layer, where the metallic layer () is based on nonrusting stainless steel, a chromium- and/or nickel-containing alloy, copper and/or a copper alloy. The at least one further metallic layer () can optionally be provided with a transparent layer (). Furthermore, a process for producing such a surface-coated steel sheet is described.

Surface-coated steel sheet and process for the production thereof

A method for forming a beading fold in a multi-layer composite material, which has at least one core layer made of a plastics material and at least two cover layers made of a metallic material, provides high process reliability and optimal integrity of the formed multi-layer composite material. In particular, the method provides that, in the region of the beading fold to be formed, the core layer of the composite material is heated at least in portions to a temperature of 180&#xb0; C. to 300&#xb0; C. Also described herein is a multi-layer composite material having at least one beading fold, said material comprising at least one core layer made of a plastics material and at least two cover layers made of a metallic material.

Method for forming a crimping fold in a multi-layer composite material and multi-layer composite material having at least one crimping fold

A composite component comprising at least one first and one second sheet metal plate with at least one layer of a polymer arranged between the first and the second sheet metal plates provides for a component optimized with respect to the weight thereof, and which is at the same time simple to manufacture. The polymer layer of the composite component according to the invention comprises at least one foamed polymer layer of a thermoplastic polymer, wherein the foamed polymer layer comprises gas bubbles with a volume percentage of 1% to 80%, in particular 5% to 70%.
