Abstract: A die for deforming a workpiece material in a joining tool comprises a head with a top side partially defining a cavity in which the workpiece material is to be deformed, a bottom side opposite the top side, a lateral side arranged between the top side and the bottom side, and a stem which extends along a longitudinal axis from the bottom side of the head. The die further comprises an identification tag, preferably an RFID tag, having an antenna for receiving and/or transmitting a signal, and a storing element for storing information, and the antenna is wrapped circumferentially around the head, such that the antenna entirely surrounds the head. The head may also include a groove extending around the head on the lateral side with the antenna arranged in the groove. Additionally, the die may include a recess with the storing element located in the recess.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-layer plastic film (1, 1?, 1?) for coating components manufactured by compression molding. The film comprises at least a first layer (2, 2?, 2?) consisting of a first plastic material and a second layer (4, 4?, 4?) consisting of a second plastic material. Furthermore, the first plastic material has a higher temperature resistance than the second plastic material, with the second plastic material being thermoplastic.
