The invention relates to a
subframe (1) for a vehicle, having a
metal component (1.2) which has a connection area (1.3) with an opening, the opening (1.9) being provided for attaching a screw (30) for producing a screw connection to a separately manufactured vehicle part (20). In order for such a
subframe to provide a high or increased strength of the non-positive connection of the vehicle part at low cost and to provide low-cost
corrosion protection, the invention provides that the connection area (1.3) has a
surface structure (16) with metallic elevations (16.1) and recesses (16.2) which is arranged at the opening (1.9) and produced by
laser irradiation, the metallic elevations (16.1) being in particular elevations which, relative to a
reference surface ( R) of the connection area (1.3), have heights of at least 10 µm, preferably of at least 50 µm, particularly preferably of at least 200 µm or of greater than 250 µm. At least the connection area of the
metal component of the
subframe (1) including the
surface structure (16) is coated with anti-
corrosion lacquer, wherein the layer (18) of anti-
corrosion lacquer has an average
layer thickness which is less than the heights of at least a plurality of the metallic elevations (16.1) of the
surface structure (16). In addition, an
assembly is described and claimed which has a subframe (1) according to the invention and a separately manufactured vehicle part (20) which has a connection area made essentially of
metal, preferably steel, and is connected to the metal component (1.2) of the subframe (1) at its connection area by means of a screw (30).
