Abstract

A welded component having mechanical properties in a welding seam region comparable or better to those in the non-influenced base material via a method including producing a hot-rolled steel product made of a high-strength air-hardenable steel with a material thickness of at least 1.5 mm having a chemical composition by mass in one embodiment of: C: 0.03 to 0.4; Mn: 1.0 to 4.0; Si: 0.09 to 2.0; Al: 0.02 to 2.0; P<=0.1; S<=0.1; N: 0.001 to 0.5; Ti: 0.01 to 0.2; Cr: 0.05 to 2.0; B: 0.001 to 0.1; Mo: 0.01 to 1.0; V: 0.01 to 0.2; optionally: Ni: 0.02 to 1.0; Nb: 0.01 to 0.1; and residual iron including conventional steel-accompanying elements, subsequently air hardening the produced hot-rolled steel product, then deforming the hot-rolled steel product in the air-hardened state to form a component, and producing welding connections using a fusion welding process on the component.
