Connecting element e.g. pressing or punching nuts or pins for inserting and fastening in workpieces, has profile formed on surface that is held in workpiece after anchoring process

摘要

Connecting element has a profile (13) formed on a surface that is held in the workpiece (10) after the anchoring process, or on a surface (11.2) lying adjacent to the workpiece, in a deformation process. The deformation process involves the milling of an outer edge region of the outer connecting element portion (11.1). The profile, once anchored, meshes with the material of the workpiece to absorb torque.
