摘要

Production of a coated molded component made from hardened steel comprises locally coating the component after hardening using a coating process which reduces the strength value by the introduction of heat. An Independent claim is also included for a one-piece B-column (1) made from hardened steel having a high strength structure over its length (3) and coated in the region of its ductile foot (2).
