Abstract
The invention relates to a friction welding element (10, 30, 40) comprising a friction welding geometry (14, 15) and a head (12, 24, 32, 42) with a driving geometry (16, 34) for connection to a component (18, 20, 50) wherein heat originates during the friction welding process, characterized in that, at the head (12, 24, 32, 42), a material (22 26, 36, 44) is applied which is at least partially melting by means of the heat generated by the friction welding process upon contact with the surface of a component (18, 50) arranged closest to the head, and which material solidifies during cooling whereby the transition from the friction welding element (10, 30, 40) to the component (18, 50) arranged closest to the head, is sealed.
