A method for producing a part includes providing a first and a second precoated sheet (1,2), butt welding the first and second precoated sheets (1) to obtain a blank (15), and heating the blank (15) to a heat treatment temperature at least 10° C. lower than the full austenitization temperature of the weld joint (22) and at least 15° C. higher than a minimum temperature Tmin:Tmin(°⁢C.)=AC⁢3⁢(WJ)-αICmax1⁢0⁢0⁢(Ac⁢3⁢(W⁢J)-6⁢7⁢3-40×Al).whereAc3(WJ) is the full austenitization temperature of the weld joint (22)αICmax=(1-(1+ρ)⁢(max⁡(1;ρ)⁢T⁢s2-3⁢5⁢0)(1-β)⁢(ρ⁢T⁢s2+T⁢s1)+β⁢(1+ρ)⁢(3⁢1⁢3⁢0⁢CF⁢W+750)-3⁢5⁢0×(1+ρ))×100,whereTs1 and Ts2 are the ultimate tensile strengths of the strongest and the weakest substrate after press-hardeningCFW is the carbon content of the filler materialβ is the proportion of filler materialρ is the ratio between the thicknesses of the weakest and the strongest substrateThe method also includes holding the blank (15) at the heat treatment temperature for a time between 2 and 10 minutes; and press-forming the blank (15) into a part and cooling.
