A close section roll-formed component using coating free press-hardened steel is provided. The close section roll-formed component using coating free press-hardened steel includes the component having a microstructure including martensite and alloy carbide, a weld seam that joins at least two edges of the component, and at least one corner of the component. The component has a composition between 0.05 and 0.35 wt. % carbon, between 0.5 and 5.0 wt. % manganese, between 0.5 and 2.0 wt. % silicon, and 0.6 and 4.0 wt. % chromium. The at least one corner has a corner radius between 0.5t and 2t (t is wall thickness). The wall thickness of the component is between 0.8 millimeters and 5.0 millimeters. Additionally, the component has an ultimate tensile strength between 1.5 gigapascals (GPa) and 2.1 GPa and a hardness across the weld seam between Vickers Pyramid Number (HV) 450 and 600.
