Abstract: A method for producing a component, in particular a rotor wheel, includes positioning a main body, a fusion-weldable attachment layer, and a barrier layer. The main body has a first alloy in an attachment region. The fusion-weldable attachment layer is positioned in the attachment region of the main body and has a second alloy which differs from the first alloy. The barrier layer is positioned between the main body and the fusion-weldable attachment layer. The barrier layer is configured to prevent a reaction of the first alloy of the main body with the second alloy of the fusion-weldable attachment layer during a thermal treatment. The method further includes heating the main body, the barrier layer, and the fusion-weldable attachment layer to connect the main body, the barrier layer, and the fusion-weldable attachment layer to one another.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel injector having an electromagnet 2 which contains a magnet core 6 and a coil 7 and which further has an armature 9 that is guided on an armature pin 8. The armature pin 8 is guided in a guide sleeve 11 which projects into the electromagnet 2. The fuel injector further has an injector body 4 with at least one injection opening which is introduced into the injector body 4 and which is controlled by an injector needle 5. The aim of the invention is to provide a fuel injector which is functionally improved with respect to the switching times of the fuel injector and the forces that can be generated in the fuel injector while simultaneously simplifying a guide sleeve for an armature pin. This is achieved in that the guide sleeve 11 is integrated into the magnet core 6 and is connected to the magnet core 6 in a formfitting or bonded manner.

Abstract: A method for producing a connection of at least one rotary component with a central opening to a shaft with a first section along the shaft and a second section on an end face of the shaft includes fixing the shaft at the first section in the central opening of the at least one rotary component by an eccentric arrangement. The fixing of the shaft is such that the shaft is fixed in the radial direction relative to the at least one rotary component. The method also includes fixing the shaft at the second section by press-fitting a ball so that the shaft is secured in the axial direction relative to the at least one rotary component. The fixing steps are carried about by a positive engagement.
