Method for undetachably introducing guiding aid elements into a component, component with guiding aid elements and composite component

A method for undetachably introducing an auxiliary joining element into at least one joint of at least on component, the method comprising the acts of:

• a) punching the at least one component at the at least one joint in a first press stroke a tool press, wherein a pilot hole is formed at the at least one joint;
• b) inserting an auxiliary joining element into the pilot hole;
• and
• c) pressing the auxiliary joining element together with the at least one component in subsequent press stroke or work step in order to form a cohesive, form-fitting and/or force-fitting connection between the at least one component and the auxillary joining element, wherein
• a plurality of pilot holes are formed in the act a),
• an auxiliary joining element inserted into each of the plurality of pilot hole in the act b),
• all of the auxillary joining element inserted into the plurality of pilot holes are pressed together with the at least one component in the act c), wherein the auxiliary joining elements are thicker than the at least one component so that the auxiliary joining elements project beyond at leas one longitudinal surface of the at least one component,
• at least one of the plurality of pilot holes is provided at both hole edges with chamfer, and
• the auxiliary joining element is in the form of am metal slug.
