Abstract
A method glues a heat-activated glueable surface element to an adhesive substrate which does not conduct electric current, whereby a surface thereof has only a low thermal conductivity. The heat-activated glueable surface element has an electrically conductive layer in addition to a heat-activated adhesive mass. The layer is inductively heated for a short time in an alternating magnetic field at a frequency from a middle frequency range. A high pressure of at least 1 MPa is exerted on the gluing surface simultaneously to the inductive heating, whereby preventing thermal decomposition reactions is possible. Further, a device performs the method and has an induction heater integrated in a press tool.
