Abstract
A method produces plastic/metal hybrid components, in particular for the automotive field. A plastic compound is injected into a tool mold, and the tool mold has a core onto which a metal is injected. The plastic compound is then injected into the tool mold such that the metal is back-molded with the plastic compound and is fixed to the plastic in order to produce a blank. The tool mold is used to produce at least one depression in the surface of the blank, the depression being at least partly filled with a metal as part of a first additional processing.

A process for producing plastic-metal-hybrid components, which comprises the steps of:
- providing a mold having a core and onto the core metal is sprayed;
- injecting a plastic composition into the mold, the plastic composition being injected into the mold in a manner such that, for producing a blank, the metal is overmolded with the plastic composition and is fixed on the plastic composition;
- producing at least one depression in a surface of the blank by means of the mold;
- and
- filling the at least one depression at least to some extent with a further metal.
A plastic-metal-hybrid component for an electrical or electronic module, the plastic-metal-hybrid component comprising:
- a core having a sprayed metal coating;
- a plastic composition injected onto said core in such a manner that, for producing a blank, said metal coating is overmolded with said plastic composition and is fixed on said plastic composition;
- said blank formed of said core, said sprayed metal coating and said plastic composition having at least one depression formed in a surface of said blank;
- and
- a further metal at least to some extent filling said at least one depression.
