A method of manufacturing a bearing arrangement and bearing assembly

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a bearing arrangement (1) comprising at least one bearing element (2) and at least one tag part (3), wherein the bearing element (2) and the tag part (3) abut each other at a contact surface when used as intended, characterized by the steps of: a) placing the bearing element (2) and the tag part (3) in the intended desired relative position to each other and placing a reactive nanocrystalline layer (5) between the bearing element (2) and the tag part (3) in the region of the contact surface ( 4); b) initiating an exothermic reaction in the reactive nano-crystalline layer (5), so that by at least partial heating of in the region of the contact surface (4) located surface of the bearing element (2) and / or the tag part (3) to a bonded connection between the bearing element (2) and the conversion member (3) comes. Furthermore, the invention relates to a bearing arrangement.
