Method for the production of tailor welded blanks (TWBs)

Method for producing a component system comprising a first component having a first component portion and a second component having a second component portion, comprising the following steps:

• a. connecting the first component portion, which consists of a naturally aged aluminum alloy, to the second component portion, which consists of one of an aluminum alloy, a copper alloy, an iron alloy, or a steel alloy, so as to form a connection seam, wherein the connection occurs at a speed of no less than 100 mm/min;
• b. within 10 minutes of forming the connection seam in step (a), artificially aging the connection seam for at least ten minutes such that the yield strength of the connection seam is above the yield strength of at least one of the first component portion and the second component portion;
• and
• c. deforming the component system.
