    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 to improve the formability of steel blanks, for steels containing at least 5% martensite, and possibly some ferrite, bainite and residual austenite and having an ultimate tensile strength of at least 500 MPa and possibly having a metallic coating layer on at least one side, wherein the steel blank is heat-treated on at least part of its peripheral thickness using at least one heat source, which heats the steel in a heat-treated zone to a temperature between 400° C. and 1500° C. without melting the steel in any points of the heat-treated zone.
