Moldable wire thread insert, method for its production, component with a moldable wire thread insert as well as a method for its production

A production method for a moldable wire thread insert for reinforcing a screw-in opening of a component, said method comprising the steps of:

• a) helically winding a wire onto a first cylindrical area of a winding spindle into a cylindrical spiral with a diameter such that neighboring coils of the cylindrical spiral have a first slope and form a cylindrical spiral wall, and while helically winding the wire imprinting mechanical tensions into the wire in an axial direction of the wire thread insert so that the neighboring coils are wound on a block after removing the wire thread insert from the winding spindle,
• b) after the helically winding step, creating a fastening flange by winding the wire into a second area of the winding spindle, in which the winding spindle expands out of the first area of the winding spindle radially outwards forming a ledge compared to the first cylindrical area, and winding the wire against the ledge so that the coils of the fastening flange arrange themselves radially next to each other with partial overlapping in order to form the fastening flange,
• the fastening flange protruding radially outwards over the spiral wall on at least one end of the spiral through winding of at least one coil of the spiral on one end of the spiral with a reduced slope compared to the first slope, in order to create the fastening flange, and
• c) winding the fastening flange such that the fastening flange has a greater diameter than the cylindrical spiral, wherein the end of the spiral comprises at least two coils of the wound wire lying above each other in the radial direction of the cylindrical spiral.
