NOVELTY - The heat shield has a metallic layer (2,3) which is situated at a surface of the heat shield with a micro structuring (29). A laminar marking element (11) is applied to the surface and/or embedded into a micro-structured layer (2), where the element is positively and/or frictionally connected to the micro-structured layer of the heat shield. A layer with micro-structured layer is situated at an outer surface of and an inner surface of heat shield. The laminar marking element is arranged on surface of micro-structured layer pointing away from outer surface of heat shield.    USE - Heat shield for shielding of object against heat or sound. Can also be used for shielding hot areas in combustion engines, catalysts, exhaust manifolds, turbo chargers, sections of exhaust line and conditioning of batteries.    ADVANTAGE - The micro-structured layer is producible from thermoplastic material and the production is simple and cost-efficient, since the production is achieved without additional steps such as welding or riveting. The heat shield comprises an insulating layer which immediately rests on the heat-source and which is covered by a micro-structured layer, hence the construction leads to a reduction of the convection of the warm air and vibrations are absorbed. The dimpled heat shield layers improve the stability of the heat shield and allow for the production of heat shields with non-modified stability with thinner and lighter metal sheets. The loosening of the connection is prevented, since the serrated edge is positively gripped to the micro-structure of the micro-structured layer. The marked heat shields allows for a large variety of marking elements to be attached or embedded. The round recess provides a rotationally symmetric marking element which is inserted without caring for its rotational position.
