Abstract
An exhaust-gas turbocharger for an internal combustion engine is described herein, in particular for a motor vehicle. An exhaust-gas side sacrificial sealing ring that serves as a heat shield is replaced by a step formed in a housing and in a hub, the step serving to assume the function of a heat shield instead of the sacrificial sealing ring. This design feature reduces production costs in connection with the outlay for the sacrificial sealing ring.
