Abstract

A method is provided for producing a steel component assembly, wherein a steel component having a predetermined breaking point is provided and the predetermined breaking point of the steel component is punched through by way of a press-fit element in order to form an opening. Subsequently, the press-fit element is pressed into the opening of the steel component, and, at least in overlap with the press-fit element, a component is adhesively bonded to the steel component by an adhesive applied over an area. A friction-drilling hole is melted through the press-fit element, the steel component and the component by way of a friction-drilling element.
