Abstract: Method for producing a vehicle component, in particular a motor vehicle component, in particular a B-pillar, including providing a first aluminum alloy and a second aluminum alloy. The second alloy composition substantially matches the first aluminum alloy composition. Performing a heat-treatment of the first alloy to increase the ductility of the first alloy. Performing a heat-treatment of the second alloy. The heat-treatment of the first alloy differing from the heat-treatment of the second alloy. Welding together the heat-treated first alloy and the heat-treated second alloy to obtain a composite part. Shaping the composite parts into a motor vehicle component. The motor vehicle component sub-region of the first alloy can be designed as a predetermined deformation region when a force is applied due to an accident to achieve a good combination of rigid regions for example forming a safety cell, and deformable regions forming a crumple zone for absorbing energy.

Abstract: The invention relates to a stationery item comprising a cover (2) and removable contents forming a refill. The refill comprises: a block (6) of stacked pages forming two main outer surfaces (6a, 6b) separated by a certain thickness; a binding (7) that binds the pages of the block together at the back (6c) of the block; and a flexible covering strip (8) that covers the binding. The covering strip includes: a back portion which outwardly covers the binding and which is provided with magnetic elements (9a-9b), and two side portions that are attached to both of the main surfaces of the block, respectively. The refill can be removably attached to the back (2c) of the cover which includes built-in magnetic means (3a, 3b) for attracting the magnetic elements (9a-9b) of the refill.
