The invention relates to a method for the connecting of components, namely for the connecting of at least one pipe-shaped or rod-shaped component with a wall-type component, with the following steps: a) providing a wall-type component ( 11 ), whereby the wall-type component ( 11 ) comprises a sandwich-type structure of two plate-shaped or pipe-shaped elements ( 12, 13 ) with a layer ( 14 ) of an expandable foamable metal material positioned therebetween; b) providing at least one pipe-shaped or rod-shaped component ( 10 ); c) introducing at least one opening in the wall-type component ( 11 ) for the receiving of the or each pipe-shaped or rod-shaped component ( 10 ); d) inserting of the or each pipe-shaped or rod-shaped component ( 10 ) in a corresponding opening of the wall-type component ( 11 ); e) heating of the arrangement of the wall-type component ( 11 ) and the or each pipe-shaped or rod-shaped component ( 10 ) with foaming-up expansion of the expandable foamable metal material for the connecting of the or each pipe-shaped or rod-shaped component ( 10 ) with the wall-type component ( 11 ).
