Abstract
A method for the linking of components to hollow shafts, preferably for producing camshafts, is disclosed where the components, especially cam rings, are manufactured so as to generate their function-related contour, that either a hardenable material is used for this purpose which, aside from its elastic deformability, after hardening still has a permissible plastic deformability of minor extent; or that subsequently the surface of the components, particularly the contact face of the cams, is subjected to a surface-hardening process. These components together with the hollow shaft to be deformed are placed into an IHPF tool in a manner to suit the respective function, and that in a second process step through the application of the IHPF process and due to the internal pressure exerted the components are joined to the hollow shaft in a force- and form-closing manner.
