The component comprises a body (5) composed of an alloy based on a .gamma.-titanium aluminide, a steel body (2) and a connecting piece (4) composed of a nickel-base alloy. The .gamma.-titanium aluminide body (5) and the steel body (2) are rigidly joined together by means of the connecting piece (4). The joint between the .gamma.-titanium aluminide body (5) and the connecting piece (4) is produced by friction welding. The nickel-base alloy has a nickel content of less than 65 percent by weight. This achieves the result that the friction-welding joint of the .gamma.-titanium aluminide body (5) to the connecting piece (4) can be produced at comparatively low temperatures. During the friction welding, the risk of crack formations in the embrittlement-prone .gamma.-titanium aluminide body (5) is therefore appreciably reduced. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A process for producing a component comprising a body composed of an alloy based on a gamma-titanium aluminide, a steel body and a connecting piece composed of a nickel-base alloy, by means of which connecting piece the gamma-titanium aluminide body and the steel body are rigidly joined to one another, the joint between the gamma-titanium aluminide body and the connecting piece being produced by friction welding, the method comprising steps of: selecting a nickel-base alloy containing less than 65 percent by weight of nickel, less than 30 percent by weight of iron and 3 to 7 percent by weight of niobium; first rotating the gamma-titanium aluminide body and the connecting piece against one another during friction welding under a rubbing pressure which does not exceed a first limit value, and subsequently welding the gamma-titanium aluminide body and the connecting piece together at relative rest with respect to one another under an upsetting pressure, which does not exceed a second limit value which is higher than the first limit value, to form a diffusion layer containing at least titanium and aluminum.
2.
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the nickel-base alloy contains between 10 and 30 percent by weight of iron.
3.
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connecting piece spaces the gamma-titanium aluminide body and the steel body apart by approximately 10 to 30 mm.
4.
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the component is the rotor of a turbocharger wherein the gamma-titanium aluminide body comprises a turbine wheel of the rotor and the steel body comprises a shaft of the rotor.
5.
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the rubbing pressure during the rotation of the gamma-titanium aluminide body and the connecting piece against one another is increased in steps up to the first limit value.
6.
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first limit value is approximately 200 N/mm.
sup.
2.
7.
The process as claimed in claim 1, further comprising friction welding the steel body to the connecting piece prior to the friction welding of the gamma-titanium aluminide body to the connecting piece
