- A- and B-pillars side impact protection in doors, sills, frame parts, bumper, cross member for floor and roof, front and rear side members to provide that have different strengths in sub-areas, so that the body part can fulfill partially different functions.
- the center area of a B pillar of a vehicle should have high strength to protect the occupants in the event of a side impact.
- the upper and lower end portions of the B-pillar should have a comparatively low strength, in order to accommodate a deformation energy during a side impact and on the other during assembly of the B-pillar to allow easy connectivity with other body components.
- the hardened component To form such a partially hardened body component, it is necessary for the hardened component to have different material structures or strength properties in the subregions.
- the steel sheet to be hardened can already be provided with different, interconnected sheet metal sections or partially cooled differently in the press.
- the steel sheet is hardened before cooling and forming in the press partially different heat treatment processes.
- only those portions of the steel sheet to be hardened can be heated, in which a structural transformation towards harder structures, such as martensite to take place.
- a process procedure regularly has the disadvantage that the diffusion of a coating, for example an aluminum-silicon coating, which is usually to be applied to the surface of the steel sheet for protection against scaling can not be integrated efficiently into the heat treatment process.
- a coating for example an aluminum-silicon coating

- An inventive method for (partially different) heat treatment of a metallic component has at least the following steps:
