Abstract: In order to provide a method by means of which stacks of laminations can be produced in a simple and efficient manner, it is provided that the method comprises the following: coating one or more laminations with a bonding agent; bonding a plurality of laminations to form a sheet metal laminate by means of a first activation of the bonding agent; dividing the sheet metal laminate to produce a plurality of sheet metal laminate units and/or separating out a plurality of sheet metal laminate units from the sheet metal laminate; and bonding the plurality of sheet metal laminate units to form a stack of laminations by means of a second activation of the bonding agent, one or more parameters differing from one another in the first activation and the second activation.

Abstract: To provide a method by means of which stacks of metal sheets can be produced in an easy and efficient way, it is proposed that the method comprises the following: coating one or more metal sheets with a bonding substance; bonding multiple metal sheets to form a sheet-metal laminate by a first activation of the bonding substance; cutting up the sheet-metal laminate to produce multiple sheet-metal laminate units and/or cutting out multiple sheet-metal laminate units from the sheet-metal laminate; and bonding the multiple sheet-metal laminate units to form a stack of metal sheets by a second activation of the bonding substance, wherein the bonding substance comprises a resin material and an elastomer material.

Abstract: In order to improve a method for producing a functional element, in particular, for flat seals, wherein a functional material layer is provided with a sieve region in which through openings for the passage of a fluid lie exposed between threads of a woven or plaited fabric such that a best possible sealing round the sieve regions is enabled, it is proposed that the functional material layer is provided with a sealing region which is formed to be cross-sectionally impermeable, in which the through openings of the woven or plaited fabric are closed by the softening and compressing of a filling material filling the through openings.
