Abstract
A method is provided for producing a hot-formed component, in particular a sheet-metal component made of steel, aluminum, magnesium or a combination of the materials. The method includes the acts of: heating a semifinished product, in particular a sheet-metal blank or a pre-shaped sheet-metal component, inserting the semifinished product into a molding tool, and quenching the semifinished product in the molding tool, wherein a change is made to the microstructure of the material at least in one portion. Before the insertion of the semifinished product into the molding tool, an insulating device is applied in at least one predetermined region of the semifinished product. The insulating device is connected in a form-fitting, integral and/or force-fitting manner to the semifinished product.
