JOINING METHOD, JOINING APPLIANCE AND FASTENING ELEMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for joining a fastening element (26) on to a surface portion (34) of a component (32), the fastening element (26) having an adhesion face (109), on to which there is applied an adhesive (30) that is thermally meltable and thermally settable, comprising the steps of - pre-heating the adhesive (30) to a first temperature (Tl), in order to activate the adhesive; - pre-heating the surface portion (34) to a second temperature (T2); and - placing the adhesion face (109) on to the surface portion (34); the adhesive (30) undergoing main heating, to a third temperature (T3), after the adhesion face (109) has been placed on to the surface portion (34), in order to set the adhesive and thereby permanently fasten the fastening element (26) to the component (32).
