Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A connection element, in particular a setting bolt, for connecting at least two components, in particular metal sheet components, is disclosed. The connection element has a tapered region and a shaft region, the properties of which are different. The connection element is formed as one piece. A method for producing a connection element is also disclosed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A connection element for connecting two components, comprising: a tapered region; and a shaft region, wherein the tapered region is comprised of a first material having a first hardness and the shaft region is comprised of a second material having a second hardness and wherein the first hardness is greater than the second hardness; wherein the connection element is formed as one piece. 2. The connection element according to claim 1 , wherein the connection element is a setting bolt and wherein the two components are metal sheet components. 3. The connection element according to claim 1 , wherein the tapered region has a sliding coating and wherein the shaft region has an adhesive coating. 4. The connection element according to claim 1 , wherein the tapered region has a lower surface roughness than the shaft region. 5. A method for producing a connection element for connecting two components, wherein the connection element has a tapered region and a shaft region, comprising the steps of: producing the tapered region from a first material having a first hardness; producing the shaft region from a second material having a second hardness, wherein the first hardness is greater than the second hardness; and producing the connection element as one piece. 6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the connection element is a setting bolt and wherein the two components are metal sheet components. 7. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising the steps of providing an entirety of the connection element with an adhesive coating followed by removing the adhesive coating only in the tapered region in a first immersion bath and then followed by providing the tapered region with a sliding coating in a second immersion bath.
