Abstract
A method to produce a component from a workpiece via a press which includes at least one die to form the workpiece. The workpiece comprises at least one of a metal, a metal alloy and a coating and has a form of a hollow part. The method includes internal high-pressure forming and/or hydraulic back-pressure forming the workpiece via a fluid and the at least one die at a temperature below a first hardening temperature of the workpiece, and subsequently partially or completely hardening the workpiece by heating the workpiece above the first hardening temperature and then immediately cooling the workpiece. The heating and the cooling are each essentially conducted without a forming so that a fabricated component results.

A method to produce a component from a workpiece via a press which comprises at least one die to form the workpiece, wherein the workpiece comprises at least one of a metal, a metal alloy and a coating and has a form of a hollow part, the method comprising:
- internal high-pressure forming and/or hydraulic back-pressure forming the workpiece via a fluid and the at least one die, the internal high-pressure forming and/or the hydraulic back-pressure forming being conducted at a temperature below a first hardening temperature of the workpiece;
- and
- subsequently partially or completely hardening the workpiece by heating the workpiece above the first hardening temperature and then immediately cooling the workpiece, the heating and the cooling each being essentially conducted without a forming so that a fabricated component results.
