Method for manufacturing pressed component, method for manufacturing blank material, and steel sheet

A method for manufacturing a blank material that is to be manufactured into a pressed component through one or two or more times of press forming,

• the method comprising:
• performing a simulation to determine whether or not at least one press forming of the one or two or more times of press forming causes a concern about end cracking due to a delayed fracture at a place at an end of the blank material to be pressed;
• determining whether or not there is the concern about end cracking because the place at the end of the blank material is where the delayed fracture has occurred when the simulation is not performed;
• and
• performing double cutting processing at the place at the end of the blank material to be pressed after determining from the simulation that there is the concern about end cracking due to the delayed fracture at the place at the end of the blank material to be pressed or after determining that there is the concern about end cracking because the place at the end of the blank material is where the delayed fracture has occurred when the simulation is not performed, wherein
• the double cutting processing includes performing a first cutting to form a projection portion at a position containing the place at the end of the blank material where the delayed fracture is concerned, and performing a second cutting to cut the projection portion.
