  • the invention is based on a metal composite component, in particular for an electromagnetic valve according to the preamble of the main claim.

  • the Methods are characterized by providing, directly or through prior conversion processes, a one-piece sleeve-shaped magnetic martensitic workpiece which undergoes a local heat treatment in a central portion of the magnetic martensitic workpiece to convert that middle portion into a non-magnetic, austenitic center portion.
  • molten austenite-forming elements are added to the site of the heat treatment to form a nonmagnetic austenitic central portion of the solid core.
  • the metallic composite component according to the invention with the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage that in a particularly simple and cost-effective manner, a magnetic separation on a one-piece, sleeve-shaped composite component is realized, which can be reliably produced mass-production technology.
  • the composite component is characterized in that there are at least two adjacent sections of different magnetization, wherein the magnetic choke formed in the composite component by the second section with reduced saturation polarization J s compared to the first sections is advantageously non-magnetic, but partially magnetic in the order of magnitude ideally allows the use of such a composite component in an electromagnetic valve.
  • a semi-austenitic stainless steel such as 17-7PH or 15-8PH is used as the starting material for the composite component.
  • the material is magnetized.
  • a local heat treatment by laser beam, induction heating or Electron radiation or the like made, which leads to the fact that after cooling, the second section is formed with reduced saturation polarization.
