THERMOFORMED AND PRESS-HARDENED BATTERY TRAY

The present invention relates to a battery tray (1) for an electric vehicle, manufactured as a hot-formed and press-hardened component from a steel sheet blank, having a bottom (2) and side walls (5, 6) rising from the bottom (2) with an outwardly protruding flange (7) running around the top of the battery tray (1), characterized in that the side walls (5) on the longitudinal sides of the battery tray (1) and the side walls (6) on the transverse sides are oriented at an angle (β) greater than 1° to a vertical, wherein in a respective corner region (8) the bottom (2) of the battery tray (2) transitions into a curved surface (9), such that a transition radius (14) of the curved surface (9) to a transverse side wall (6) results and a transition radius (11) of the curved surface (9) to a longitudinal side wall (11).
