Composite component and a method and device for producing the composite component

A method for producing a composite component comprising a hollow profile and at least one injection-molded element, wherein the hollow profile is formed by internal high pressure fluid forming, and is encapsulated with an injection molding material to form the injection-molded element, said method comprising:

• before it is encapsulated, widening the hollow profile by means of internal high pressure in a closed combination tool comprising an internal high pressure forming tool element and an injection molding tool element;
• wherein the hollow profile is pressed only locally on a contour of an engraving of the tool, in a region of a location that is to be encapsulated, so that an outlet of an injection molding channel that opens into the engraving remains unobstructed.

A device for producing a composite component comprising a hollow profile that is enclosed by at least one injection-molded element, using a combination tool that includes an internal high pressure forming tool element and an injection molding tool element;

• wherein:
• said tool elements comprise a common tool engraving that forms a widening region, in which the widened hollow profile, and which abuts the tool engraving locally, forming at least a free space with the tool engraving, into which opens a channel of the injection molding tool.
