Abstract

There is provided a tailored blank article for press forming, the article having an excellent formability and comprising multiple different plates of different thickness, which can evade a break of a low strength plate (or low-thickness plate) due to strength rate-determining is provided in press forming.The tailored blank article for press forming, having an excellent formability and comprising two or more kinds of raw plates, continuously welded together, each having a different tensile strength, is characterized in that a ratio (n1/n2) of a work hardening property value (n1) of a higher tensile strength plate and a work hardening property value (n2) of a lower tensile strength plate is set to be 0.75 or more and 3.8 or less.
