Insufficient strength of welding spots is a common problem in the hot stamping process of ultra-high strength steel patchwork blanks (UHSSP). In this paper, the welding spots of 22MnB5 boron steel with thicknesses of 1.2 and 1.5 mm were austenitized and then air-cooled to 650–850 °C for high temperature tensile shear tests and high temperature cross-tension tests, respectively. To study the mechanical properties of the welding spots at room temperature after heat treatment, the austenitized welding spots were quenched in cold water to room temperature, and microhardness tests and microstructure observations were performed. The results indicated that compared to the original welding spots, the heat-affected softening zone disappeared after heat treatment, and the hardness values of the fusion zone, heat-affected zone and base material were basically the same, at about 500 HV. After heat treatment, the welding spots were mainly martensite. With the increase in deformation temperature, the peak loads of the tensile shear and the cross tension of the welding spots decreased. At 750 °C, the peak loads of the welding spots decreased less, energy absorption was larger, and the welding spots had the comprehensive mechanical properties of strength and ductility.
