The invention relates to an electric machine (12) having a mounting flange (10) and to a method for producing an electric machine (12) of this kind having a mounting flange (10) of this type. Said mounting flange is arranged on a—preferably cylindrical—housing part (14) of said electric machine (12) in such a way that the mounting flange (10) at least in portions surrounds the housing part (14) in the circumferential direction (16) of said housing part (14), the mounting flange (10) and/or the housing part (14) being coated. The invention is characterized in that the mounting flange (10) has an at least radially directed raised portion (18) abutting the housing part (14), the mounting flange (10) being mounted on the housing part (14) by a welding process.
