A process for producing a metal can, having a cylindrical body, a base and a lid, of the type in which the base has a cylindrical recess which projects into the inside of the can, in which process: a) a combination of a body and a base is produced, by deep-drawing and wall stretching, from metallic and/or plastic-coated metal sheet which is suitable for cans; b) an insert piece, which is tubular in shape so as to correspond to the cylindrical recess and is closed on one side, is produced from corresponding metal sheet by deep-drawing or spinning, followed by wall stretching; c) a hole which is narrower than the open side of the insert piece is made in the base of the body-base combination; d) the edge of the hole is flanged until it acquires a bearing surface which is able to fit together with the edge of the open side of the insert piece; c) the edge of the hole and the edge of the open side of the insert piece are joined together.

1. A process for producing a metal can, comprising a cylindrical body, a base and a lid, in which the base has a cylindrical recess which projects into the inside of the can, in which process a) a combination of a body and a base is produced, by deep-drawing and wall stretching, from metallic and/or plastic coated metal sheet which is suitable for cans, wherein the body and the base are formed from a single structure; b) a tubular insert-piece, which forms the cylindrical recess and has opposed a first closed end and a second open end, is produced from corresponding metal sheet by deep-drawing or spinning, followed by wall stretching; c) a hole which is narrower than the open end of the insert piece is made in the base of the body-base combination; d) the edge of the hole is flanged until the edge of the hole acquires a bearing surface which is able to fit together with the edge of the open end of the insert piece; and e) the insert piece is inserted into the hole and the edge of the hole and the edge of the open end of the insert piece are joined together directly; wherein the edge of the hole is beaded before the insert piece is inserted into the hole and joined to the edge of the hole; wherein the closed end of the insert piece is inserted into the hole before any other portion of the insert piece is inserted into the hole. 2. The process according to claim 1, wherein the edge of the hole is flanged outwards, and the edges of the open end of the insert piece and of the hole are both beaded, then the insert piece is inserted into the hole, and then the open side of the insert piece and of the hole are folded together, wherein the insert piece having a beaded edge is inserted into the hole having a flanged and beaded edge. 3. The process according to claim 2, wherein sealing compound is arranged in the beaded edge of the insert piece, before the bead edges are folded together. 4. The process according to claim 2, wherein the folded-together edge is pressed towards the can as far as beyond that point of the base which projects furthest in the axial direction. 5. The process according to claim 3, wherein the folded-together edge is pressed towards the can as far as beyond that point of the base which projects furthest in the axial direction. 6. The process according to claim 1, further comprising inserting an external heating or cooling element comprising a container containing heating cooling material into the insert piece. 7. The process according to claim 1, wherein the insert piece is empty. 8. The process of claim 2, wherein the edge of the hole and the edge of the second end of the insert piece, prior to being directly joined together, extend axially outwards from the body of the can to a plane external to the body of the can; the tubular insert piece having cylindrical sidewalls and the opposed first and second ends, the tubular insert piece being closed on the first of the opposed ends by an insert piece base and on the second of the opposed ends has an edge which fits directly again the flanged edge of the hole and is joined thereto at a joint, wherein the insert piece has a constant diameter along its entire length between the insert piece base and the joint. 9. The process of claim 1, wherein the bead forms a curve in a radial direction.
