A process for manufacturing a press hardened laser welded steel part, includes providing at least one first steel sheet with a composition containing, by weight 0.062≤C≤0.095%, the at least one first steel sheet precoated with a metallic precoating of aluminum, or aluminum-based alloy, or aluminum alloy.



providing at least one second steel sheet with a composition containing, by weight, from to 0.38% of carbon, the at least one second steel sheet precoated with a metallic precoating of aluminum, or aluminum-based alloy, or aluminum alloy;
removing a portion of a thickness of the aluminum precoating at upper and lower sides along one side of a periphery of the at least one first steel sheet and the at least one second steel sheet;
creating a welded blank by laser welding the at least one first steel sheet and the at least one second steel sheet, such that an aluminum content in a weld metal is lower than 0.3% by weight, the laser welding being performed along the periphery wherein the portion of the thickness of the aluminum precoating has been removed;
heating the welded blank and holding the welded blank at a temperature Tm between 890 and 950° C., a holding duration Dm at the temperature being between 1 and 10 minutes, so as to obtain a heated welded blank;
transferring the heated welded blank within a forming press, the transfer duration Dt being less than 10 s;
hot forming the heated welded blank in the forming press so as to obtain a welded formed part; and
cooling the welded formed part at a first cooling rate CR1 between 40 and 360° C./s in a temperature range between 750 and 450° C., and at a second cooling rate CR2 between 15 to 150° C./s in a temperature range between 450° C. and 250° C., wherein CR2
