Abstract: A component, in particular a structural component for a motor vehicle, is disclosed. The component has a basic body formed from a hot-formable steel, which is provided with a coating at least in one partial region. The coating has a first layer of aluminum-silicon and at least one second layer, where the first layer is arranged between the basic body and the second layer. The second layer is formed from zinc-cobalt or zinc-manganese or from manganese. A method for producing a component, in particular a structural component for a motor vehicle, is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method and a system for producing a press-hardened sheet steel component is disclosed. The method includes: a) heating of a component blank formed from a hot-formable steel material at least to the austenitising temperature of the steel material by a heating device; b) hot forming of the component blank by a forming tool; c) cooling of the component blank in the forming tool to a temperature above the material-specific martensite finish temperature; d) bringing of the component blank from the forming tool to a warming device; and e) annealing of the component Hank, stabilizing the austenite in the component blank by the warming device. The component blank is brought directly from the forming tool to the waning device, preventing a cooling of the component Hank to less than the material-specific martensite finish temperature.

Abstract: A motor vehicle column includes an inner shell and an outer shell made from a metal, which are connected to each other in respective flange regions and which enclose a hollow space between them. In the hollow space a reinforcement element having a basic body made from a fiber composite plastic is arranged to strengthen the body component. The reinforcement element includes a metallic insert, which connects the reinforcement element to the inner and/or outer shell.
