METHOD OF PRODUCING A MOTOR VEHICLE COMPONENT FROM A HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL ALLOY HAVING DUCTILE PROPERTIES AND MOTOR VEHICLE COMPONENT

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of producing a motor vehicle component and to a motor vehicle component. Said motor vehicle component is produced by means of hot forming and press hardening. A blank is heated in a continuous furnace with supply of nitrogen. This produces a skin-decarburized layer on the blank that achieves ductility in a motor vehicle component produced with ultrahigh strength.
