    Abstract: A method for producing a part includes providing a first and a second precoated sheet (1,2), butt welding the first and second precoated sheets (1) to obtain a blank (15), and heating the blank (15) to a heat treatment temperature at least 10° C. lower than the full austenitization temperature of the weld joint (22) and at least 15° C. higher than a minimum temperature T T min  ( °   C . ) = AC   3  ( WJ ) - α IC max 100  ( Ac   3  ( WJ ) - 673 - 40 × Al ) . where Ac3(WJ) is the full austenitization temperature of the weld joint (22) α IC max = ( 1 - ( 1 + ρ )  ( max  ( 1  ;  ρ )  Ts 2 - 350 ) ( 1 - β )  ( ρ   Ts 2 + Ts 1 ) + β  ( 1 + ρ )  ( 3130   C FW + 750 ) - 350 × ( 1 + ρ ) ) × 100 , where TS1 and TS2 are the ultimate tensile strengths of the strongest and the weakest substrate after press-hardening CFW is the carbon content of the filler material β is the proportion of filler material ρ is the ratio between the thicknesses of the weakest and the strongest substrate The method also includes holding the blank (15) at the heat treatment temperature for a time between 2 and 10 minutes; and press-forming the blank (15) into a part and cooling.

    Abstract: A method for producing a welded steel blank (1) includes providing two precoated sheets (2), each comprising a steel substrate (3) having a precoating (5) on each of its two main faces (4), each sheet (2) comprising, on each main face (4), at a weld edge (14), a removal zone (18) in which the precoating (5) is removed over a removal fraction; and butt welding the sheets (2) using a filler wire (20) so as to create a weld joint (22) having an aluminum content AlWJ comprised between 0.1 wt. % and 1.2 wt. %. The composition of the wire (20) and the proportion of wire (20) added is such that the weld joint (22) has: (a) a quenching factor FTWJ such that FTWJ−0.96FTBM≥0, (b) a nickel content NiWJ≤14−3.4×AlWJ and a chromium content CrWJ≤5−2×AlWJ, where AlWJ is the aluminum content of the weld joint (22).
