Abstract
A method is provided for connecting a first component to a second component, wherein the first component has a deformation region. The deformation region is at least partially heated in a first step. In a second step an inner die, having an optical component for plastic deformation, is provided. In a third step the first component is plastically deformed in the deformation region in order to connect the first component to the second component. Light for heating the first component is directed at the deformation region by means of the optical component of the inner die in the first and/or third step.
