摘要： A method of manufacturing a component of an automotive vehicle frame comprises welding a reinforcement element to a blank comprised of ultra high strength steel and then heating in a furnace the blank and reinforcement element to at least a predetermined temperature. Once the blank and reinforcement element are heated to at least the predetermined temperature, the method comprises transferring the heated blank to a forming tool, forming with the forming tool the blank and reinforcement element into a desired shape for the vehicle frame component, and cooling or allowing the formed component to cool until it reaches a predetermined state.
