METHOD FOR PRODUCING A STRUCTURAL COMPONENT FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE
The present disclosure relates to a method for producing a structural component for a motor vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle body component, which has a main body made of a metal material. The main body is provided at least partially with a reinforcing element made of a fiber-composite plastic. The method includes the steps of providing the main body, providing the reinforcing element, joining the main body and the reinforcing element together, and simultaneously heating the main body and the reinforcing element to a temperature and for a period of time which are chosen to be sufficiently high in order to harden both the metal material of the main body and also the fiber-composite plastic of the reinforcing element.
