Abstract
The invention relates to a motor vehicle axle component and a method for producing a motor vehicle axle component. The axle component, for example a dead beam axle, includes a light metal body, such as aluminum or magnesium or corresponding alloys, and a tubular body in form of a steel tube, which are adhesively connected with each other. An adhesive pocket filled with an adhesive is formed between an end of the tubular body and a cylindrical receptacle of the light metal body. Respective bezels are arranged on a free end of the receptacle and on a free end of the tubular body. The spaces between the respective bezels and adjacent walls are filled with adhesive, which seals the interior and exterior transition regions of the joint zone, thus protecting the joint zone against corrosion, improving the load characteristic of the axle component and increasing its service life.
