Abstract
A method for producing a bonded joint between a light metal of a first component and a steel material of a second component, wherein a protective-gas joining process is used, a zinc-based filler material is used, and wherein an arc of the protective-gas joining process reaches at least the steel material of the second component, wherein a phase space of at least intermetallic phase composed of iron and the light metal is produced in a joining region adjacent to the steel material. Introduction of heat occurs so that the joint to the steel material is a solder or brazed connection and, during joining, a detachment of part of the solidified intermetallic phase(s) from the steel material of the second component starts in a melt of a solder or brazed matrix formed by the filler material and the at least one intermetallic phase is embedded in the solder matrix.

9. A method for producing an integral joint between a light metal of a first component and a steel material of a second component, comprising:
-
a shielding gas joining process utilizing a zinc-based filler material is used, and an arc of the shielding gas joining process reaches at least also the steel material of the second component, wherein a phase seam comprising at least one intermetallic phase comprised of iron and the light metal is produced in a joining region adjoining the steel material, wherein the introduction of heat is effected in such a manner that the joint to the steel material is a soldered or brazed connection and, during the joining process, a detachment of at least part of the solidified intermetallic phase(s) from the steel material of the second component starts in a melt of a solder or brazed matrix formed with the filler material, and the at least one intermetallic phase is embedded in the solder or brazed matrix. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A structural element, comprising:
-
a first component comprising a light metal and a second component, which comprises a steel material and is integrally joined to the first component with the involvement of a zinc-based filler material, wherein the joint to the steel material of the second component is provided by a soldered or brazed connection, which has a phase seam comprising at least one intermetallic phase composed of iron and the light metal, wherein, in the phase seam of the hardened soldered or brazed connection, the intermetallic phase(s) is or are embedded in an at least predominantly zinc-comprising solder or brazed matrix. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
