An assembled half shell-shaped flanged bearing shell for a crankshaft bearing point in an internal combustion engine, having a half shell-shaped radial bearing part and having a disk-shaped axial bearing part that is fastenable in the area of an axial end-face side of the radial bearing part. The axial bearing part is formed from at least three segments that adjoin one another in the circumferential direction and that are nonreleasably joined together via a weld seam between every two segments, wherein the respective weld seam does not include the radial bearing part. The segments with their retaining tongues are first arranged on the edge area of the radial bearing part so that the retaining tongues engage with the respective retaining recesses in the edge area of the radial bearing part, and only then is the respective weld seam applied between every two segments, as a result of which the axial bearing part thus formed is captively held on the radial bearing part but with slight play, and in particular without the retaining tongues or the edge area of the radial bearing part having been machined in a material-shaping manner.
