cooldown temperature is held for a longer time from a time z 2 equal to z 1 so that the press hardening process starts at a time p 2 the time interval t 2 is therefore greater than t 1 the structure in the first region is completely transformed to bainite at the time p 2 and therefore does not undergo any further structural transformation after the time p 2 due to the cooldown speed in a third embodiment according to the present invention a cooldown speed from a temperature above the ac3 temperature according to curve 3 is selected so that a transformation occurs directly into the bainitic intermediate structure during the cooldown process of the intermediate cooling in the first region an austenitic bainitic intermediate structure was adjusted so that when the press hardening process starts at the time p 3 this bainitic austenitic mixed structure in the first region is transformed to a bainitic martensitic mixed structure in the embodiments according to curves 2 and 3 the second region which was held above the ac3 temperature during the intermediate cooling is in both cases transformed from the austenitic region directly to martensite by the cooldown during the press hardening process in the embodiment according to curve 3 the temperature is selected according.
