A component assembly having a stacked arrangement comprising an upper and lower sheet part, of which at least one is formed as an organic sheet composite part, with an auxiliary joining part and with at least one apertured metal washer, wherein the auxiliary joining part has a functional section having an undercut at one end and also has a piercing section at the other end having a lateral shaft surface and a shaft recess formed therein, wherein the metal washer contacts a surface of the organic sheet composite part, with the functional section or the piercing section extending through an aperture of the metal washer and wherein washer material has been driven into the undercut or into the at least one shaft recess.
A method for the connection of an upper sheet part (17) and a lower sheet part (19) of which at least one is executed as an organic sheet composite part, with the aid of an auxiliary joining part (45) and at least one metal washer (41, 43) having an aperture, wherein the auxiliary joining part (45) has first and second ends, there being a functional section (51) with an undercut (56) at one of said ends and a piercing section (53) with a lateral shaft surface and a shaft recess (55) formed therein at the other of said ends, the method comprising the following steps:
A method for the connection of an upper sheet part (17) and of a lower sheet part (19) of which at least one is formed as an organic sheet composite part, with the aid of an auxiliary joining part (45) which has a first end and a second end and also with the aid of a pierced metal washer (41, 43), the method comprising the following steps:
A component assembly (60) having a stacked arrangement comprising an upper sheet part (17) and a lower sheet part (19), of which at least one is formed as an organic sheet composite part, with an auxiliary joining part (45) and with at least one apertured metal washer (41, 43), wherein the auxiliary joining part (45) has a functional section (51) having an undercut (56) at one end and also has a piercing section (53) at the other end having a lateral shaft surface and a shaft recess (55) formed therein, wherein the metal washer (41, 43) contacts a surface of the organic sheet composite part, with the functional section (51) or the piercing section (53) extending through an aperture (47) of the metal washer (41, 43) and wherein washer material has been driven into the undercut (56) or into the at least one shaft recess (55), whereby the auxiliary joining part (45) is joined to the metal washer (41, 43) and wherein the other respective one of the undercut or of the shaft recess is in a holding engagement with a sheet part formed as a sheet metal part or with a further metal washer (41, 43), with the sheet metal part or the further metal washer being located at a side of the stacked arrangement remote from the first metal washer.
A component assembly (60) with a stacked arrangement of an upper sheet part (17) and a lower sheet part (19) of which at least one is formed as an organic sheet composite part, with an auxiliary joining part (45) having a first end and a second end and with at least one apertured metal washer (41, 43), with the metal washer (41, 43) contacting a surface of the organic sheet composite part, with the first end of the auxiliary joining part (45) extending through an aperture (47) of the metal washer (41, 43) and either being joined to the metal washer (41) by embossing of the auxiliary joining part;
