  • Method for producing a profiled component, and profiled component
    Patent number: 11873537
    Abstract: A method for producing a component may include one or more of the following: providing and/or producing a profiled structural part, the structural part including a predetermined profile along its length; heat treating the profiled structural part; and press hardening the profiled structural part in a press-hardening tool. The profiled structural part in the press-hardening tool may be cooled in an interior thereof by circulating air, where during cooling of the profiled structural part in the press-hardening tool, different material properties are specifically set in at least two regions of the profiled structural part.

  • Method for producing a steel component assembly and steel component assembly
    Patent number: 11203050
    Abstract: A method is provided for producing a steel component assembly, wherein a steel component having a predetermined breaking point is provided and the predetermined breaking point of the steel component is punched through by way of a press-fit element in order to form an opening. Subsequently, the press-fit element is pressed into the opening of the steel component, and, at least in overlap with the press-fit element, a component is adhesively bonded to the steel component by an adhesive applied over an area. A friction-drilling hole is melted through the press-fit element, the steel component and the component by way of a friction-drilling element.
