  • Stamping method and components produced thereby
    Patent number: 10189384
    Abstract: A method for producing vehicle seat components involves working a semifinished blank in a cutting manner. The method can be carried out easily and at low cost and makes it possible to produce components that require little reworking and also provides a vehicle seat component that is both suitable for reducing crash energies by deformation and has an adequate wear resistance. The method includes local heating of the semifinished blank in the region of an intended cutting line of the vehicle seat components to be cut out and cutting out the vehicle seat components from the semifinished blank along the cutting line during or shortly after the heating.
